Story
Inside Canadian National Railway, data platform operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in industrials groups working out of Canada. Data engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Canadian National Railway uses Ansible Automation from Red Hat as the working layer for analytics hosting. Red Hat, an IBM company, provides enterprise open source platforms, including RHEL, OpenShift, and Ansible, for hybrid cloud. The practical change is simple: data platform operations has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Canadian National Railway gets from Red Hat is a durable place to run data platform operations and a way for data engineers to see the same analytics hosting at the same time.
