About Ansible

Ansible is an open-source IT automation tool developed by Red Hat. It automates various IT tasks, such as configuration management, application deployment, orchestration, and task automation.

Using HSMs to protect Ansible private keys

Ansible can work with private keys stored on hardware security modules (HSMs), which helps to prevent the disclosure of the keys and enables the secure usage of private keys to perform various functions..

With this integration, you can securely reference your private key stored in an HSM to perform automated tasks with Ansible Playbooks by using the

 PKCS #11 library and OpenSSL.
