Story
Financials work at Adyen spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the Netherlands. Backup and failover was splitting across regional habits. SRE and operations asked for a shared way to run reliability engineering without freezing local judgment.
Red Hat (Ansible Automation) is what they standardized on. Red Hat, an IBM company, provides enterprise open source platforms, including RHEL, OpenShift, and Ansible, for hybrid cloud. Adyen uses it as the system of record for backup and failover, with SRE and operations as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
