Red Hat, the open-source solutions firm, has just launched Ansible Lightspeed, a generative AI service that is integrated with IBM Watson Code Assistant. This new offering aims to drive extensive utilization of Ansible automation within organizations, streamlining task automation for beginners while freeing experienced automators from the arduous task of creating low-level tasks.
Red Hat has utilized natural language processing (NLP) to integrate the service with Watson Code Assistant, which is set to be available in the near future. Ansible Lightspeed allows users to rapidly construct automation code by harnessing IBM’s foundation models. According to the company, this integration offers a valuable solution for enterprises, as it addresses the skills gap and enhances efficiency, thereby expediting the time-to-value of automation.
Continuous feedback
By allowing users to input simple English prompts, the service facilitates the translation of domain expertise into YAML code to create or modify Ansible Playbooks. Furthermore, users can actively contribute to the model’s training by providing valuable feedback and ensuring continuous enhancements.
“Organizations looking to modernize have a key challenge: An automation skills gap,” said Tom Anderson, VP and GM of Ansible. “Generative AI has the potential to make experienced automation talent more productive and expand the aperture of who can create usable automation content.”
