This Ansible integration allows users to execute Ansible playbooks and run other Ansible modules or commands directly from the Stonebranch Universal Automation Center (UAC). Key Features: Manage Ansible task execution through the intuitive Universal Controller user interface. Ansible playbooks can either be centrally stored and maintained in the Universal Controller script library, or Universal Controller can call the relevant playbook residing in the Ansible host. This integration also enables the execution of other Ansible commands.

This integration empowers developers to use GitHub as their version control system. Users will automate the transfer of any workload object — such as tasks, calendars, scripts, and triggers — to and from GitHub. Often, this integration is used to support the development process, inclusive of propagating changes to the next environment, such as QA and Development. Support the automation of the DevOps process by integrating the Stonebranch Universal Automation Center (UAC) with GitHub.  Key Features: Import any Universal Controller (UC) object from GitHub into UC. For example: import a new template from the GitHub Marketplace into UC. Import any UC object from a script file into UC. For example: support for no internet connection from UC to GitHub. Export any UC object to GitHub from UC. For example: export a developed Universal Template to a GitHub repository. Export any UC object to a script object. The content of the script later can be used to import it on a Controller without needing the UAC import functionality. Support UC customers, whether SaaS or on-premises. Additional Information: Objects integrated with GitHub include Linux/Unix, Windows, and web service tasks. File operations are performed using the PyGithub module. This task supports Universal Agents for both Linux and Windows operating systems. Users can select different log-levels, e.g., info or debug. All passwords are encrypted using UC credentials.

This integration improves the functionality of Jenkins when orchestrated from the Stonebranch Universal Automation Center. It encourages collaboration by enabling the well-controlled and automated deployment of applications over to the operations side. Key Features: UAC communicates with Jenkins through the Python Jenkins module. Jenkins can make REST API calls to the Stonebranch Universal Controller (UC) to trigger any task or workflow. This task can trigger or start an existing build job in Jenkins. The UC will monitor the build execution in Jenkins until completion, then send the build results to the UC. With this task, users can create a building job in Jenkins from the UC. Any Jenkins build job definitions in XML will be stored centrally in the UC. It offers the functionality to fetch the Jenkins job build information and list running build info in Jenkins from UC. Enable/disable Jenkins jobs and nodes and delete/copy/rename Jenkins jobs from UC. When users list the installed plugins in Jenkins, a plugin install can be triggered from the UC. Set the next build info for Jenkins to build jobs.
