Managed Ansible, looked after for you

Ansible lets you describe a server once and build the same one again. Used with managed servers, it makes setup repeatable and recovery faster.

What we handle

Ansible: what we look after

  • Playbooks for the base setup: users, firewall, updates and monitoring
  • Inventories and variables kept in version control
  • Secrets stored with Ansible Vault
  • Dry runs before changes on live servers
Problems we fix

When Ansible goes wrong

  • Servers that differ because they were set up by hand
  • A change that broke one server and was not tested
  • Secrets kept in plain text files
Who it suits

Who uses managed Ansible

Teams that run several similar servers and want them to stay the same.

What it needs

A control machine with Ansible and SSH access to the servers.

First look

What we check first

Before we change anything on a new Ansible setup, we look at these, and we tell you what we found in plain words:

  • How the inventory is organised and whether it is kept in version control
  • Where secrets live and whether they are encrypted with Vault
  • Whether changes are tried with a dry run before they touch a live server
How it works

From order to a watched Ansible setup

Ansible is part of every managed plan. Besides what is listed above, each plan includes outside checks every minute, off-server backups, security hardening and a team that answers your tickets. The price counts servers, not apps.

01

Tell us what you run

Order a managed plan and list your servers and the apps on them, or write to us first with questions.

02

We look before we touch

We check what is installed, what is out of date and what is not backed up, and tell you in plain words.

03

Backups and watching first

Backups and outside checks are set up before any change, so we can always go back.

04

Then the steady work

Updates, security, tuning and fixes follow, and you can ask us anything by ticket.

Plans start at ₹1,999 a month for one server. GST is added at checkout. See all managed plans.

FAQ

Ansible support: your questions answered

Do you write my playbooks?

We can set up the playbooks for our own work on your servers and share them. Your own application deploys are written with your developers.

Can I run Ansible against my managed servers?

Yes, with a limited account that we set up, so that changes are controlled and recorded.

Is Ansible covered by the managed plans?

Yes. The managed plans count servers, not applications, so Ansible on your server is covered with no extra price per app. Plans start at ₹1,999 a month for one server, and GST is added at checkout.
