We see automation developers as domain experts with a variety of backgrounds and skills who create automation to offload repetitive tasks in a repeatable, consistent manner. Although they may not be traditional developers, they apply their specialized knowledge and experience through automation to enhance not only their own productivity and efficiency but also that of the community.

Learn how Red Hat is investing in its automation development tools and user experience. We'll also provide a brief overview of Ansible content and developer tools, such as ansible-lint, Molecule, and VS Code, which can be used today to develop automation content easily with best practices in mind. The talk will conclude with a look at the enhancements planned for the Ansible automation developer experience in the coming months and years.
