Story
Information Technology work at Elastic NV spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the Netherlands. Analytics hosting was splitting across regional habits. Data engineers asked for a shared way to run data platform operations 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. Elastic NV uses it as the system of record for analytics hosting, with data engineers 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 The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
