Dell EMC OpenManage Ansible Modules

Dell EMC OpenManage Ansible Modules allows data center and IT administrators to use RedHat Ansible to automate and orchestrate the

configuration, deployment, and update of Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers (12th generation of PowerEdge servers and later) and modular

infrastructure by leveraging the management automation capabilities in-built into the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC)

and OpenManage Enterprise (OME) respectively.

With the latest release of Dell EMC OpenManage Ansible Modules, the capabilities have improved with support for OpenManage

Enterprise. OpenManage Ansible Modules simplifies and automates provisioning, deployment, and updates of PowerEdge servers and

modular infrastructure. It allows system administrators and software developers to introduce the physical infrastructure provisioning into

their software provisioning stack, integrate with existing DevOps pipelines and manage their infrastructure using version-controlled

playbooks, server configuration profiles, and templates in line with the Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) principles
