Red Hat Announces Ansible Lightspeed AI Service

Red Hat has introduced Ansible Lightspeed (https://www.redhat.com/en/engage/project-wisdom), a new generative AI service aimed at Ansible automation.

"Using natural language processing, the service will integrate with Watson Code Assistant, expected to be generally available later this year, to access IBM foundation models and quickly build automation code," the announcement says (https://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/red-hat-introduces-ansible-lightspeed-ai-driven-it-automation).

Ansible Lightspeed, which is designed for both developers and operators, "reads plain English entered by a user, and then accesses IBM watsonx foundation models (https://www.ibm.com/watsonx) to generate automation code recommendations in Ansible syntax that are ready to quickly deploy as an Ansible Playbook." The technology preview will be available later in 2023.

  • Big data analytics (80.0%)
  • IoT and connected devices (76.8%)
  • Cloud computing (76.6%)
  • Encryption and cybersecurity (75.6%)

"Among the macrotrends listed, businesses predict the strongest net job-creation effect to be driven by investments that facilitate the green transition of businesses," the report says, noting that climate change adaptation also rates high as a net job creator.
