Ansible Use Cases

Ogma delivers Ansible automation across network infrastructure, server operations, patch management, and compliance — covering your entire environment with a single platform.

FortiGate Network Automation

Ansible playbooks using the official fortinet.fortios collection: deploy firewall policies, configure VPN tunnels, update SD-WAN rules, push software upgrades, and run compliance checks — all from a central control node without manual CLI access.

Multi-Vendor Network Config

Ansible roles for Cisco IOS/NX-OS (cisco.ios), Aruba AOS-CX (arubanetworks.aoscx), HPE Comware, and Arista EOS — standardising configuration management across your entire network stack.

Server Provisioning

Automated bare-metal and VM provisioning: OS installation, hardening (CIS Benchmark), application deployment, user management, and service configuration — from a single Ansible playbook run.

Patch Management

Automated patch assessment and deployment for Red Hat/Ubuntu/CentOS (via yum/apt) and Windows Server (via win_updates module). Pre-patch snapshot, staged rollout (dev to staging to prod), and post-patch validation.

Compliance Enforcement

Ansible playbooks that continuously enforce CIS Benchmark controls, DPDPA technical safeguards, and internal security standards — detecting and remediating drift automatically or flagging for human review.

Zero-Touch Provisioning

New FortiGate or Cisco branch device connects to network and is automatically provisioned with the correct config from a central template — no engineer travel required. Provisioning completes in under 30 minutes.

Ansible Open-Source vs Tower / AWX

Ogma recommends AWX (open-source Tower) for most Indian enterprise deployments — it provides enterprise features without the Red Hat license cost.

GUI interface CLI only Full web UI
Job scheduling Manual / cron Centralised scheduler
RBAC None Role-based access control
Audit trail Manual logs Full job history

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Fortinet publishes an official Ansible collection (fortinet.fortios) that provides modules for managing FortiGate policies, interfaces, VPN, routing, SD-WAN, and system settings. Ogma uses this collection — combined with the fortinet.fortimanager collection for FortiManager-managed environments — to deliver end-to-end FortiGate automation.

Open-source Ansible (command-line) is sufficient for small teams running playbooks manually. Ansible Tower (commercial) or AWX (open-source Tower) adds enterprise features: a web UI, centralised scheduling, role-based access control, and a full audit trail. Ogma recommends AWX (free) for most Indian enterprise deployments — it provides Tower-level features without the Red Hat license cost.

Ogma implements git-based change control: all playbooks are stored in a git repository, changes require peer review and approval before merge, and Ansible Tower/AWX only runs playbooks from approved branches. Ansible check mode (dry run) can validate changes before execution. This enforces the same change management rigour for automation as for manual changes.

Yes. Ogma builds compliance playbooks that collect configuration data from network devices and servers, compare against CIS Benchmark or custom security standards, and generate audit evidence reports. This replaces hours of manual configuration review with an automated run — producing auditor-ready output in minutes.
