NetScaler now accepting GitHub community contributions

Our first GitHub project: NetScaler Ansible Collection

As part of a new Cloud Software Group initiative, NetScaler is welcoming community contributions to its open source projects on GitHub. Since the release of the NetScaler Ansible Collection, we have continually received requests to accept contributions. Today we are excited to share that we are accepting contributions to this project, which will help us provide automated NetScaler workflows to help IT teams deploy applications faster.

NetScaler and Red Hat Ansible for network automation

NetScaler and Red Hat Ansible seamlessly integrate to provide network automation for Day 0 – N operations for faster application deployment. Using simple declarative language, Red Hat Ansible orchestrates processes through playbooks executed on its automation engine and communicates with NetScaler application delivery controllers (ADCs) via its REST API without necessitating additional software or agents.

The NetScaler Ansible Collection provides declarative Ansible modules to configure and manage NetScaler ADCs. By automating the provisioning and configuration of NetScaler ADCs, Red Hat Ansible enables faster application deployment.
