Supposedly a > $100mm deal. Both companies are already headquartered in N.C., and Ansible has a ton of momentum in the RHEL and OpenStack arenas, so it would make sense to pull the project into the fold. One thing I wonder is how much the project's priorities would shift away from (if at all) anything non-RHEL-centric.

As a Red Hat customer I'll be interesting to see how it affects the complete fucking shambles that has been the Satellite 6 rollout, which was supposed to be full Foreman/Puppet integration for provisioning and config management. Apart from the fact that it's been a shambles, Red Hat have been solidly pushing customers down the puppet route. I expect there will be some grumpy meetings in the next few weeks.

  Consider yourself lucky in the long run.

  Reminds me of their switch from Xen to KVM from RHEL 5 to 6, so I wouldn't put it past them to change course.

Hopefully not too much, super heavy Ansible + Ubuntu user here.
