Building an Automation Center of Excellence with Red Hat Ansible — Summit Connect San Jose
Level Up Team
Join Level Up at Red Hat Summit: Connect 2026 in San Jose.
On Thursday, September 24, 2026, Level Up CTO Daniel Goosen will present Building an automation Center of Excellence with Red Hat Ansible (3:00–3:40 PM, Regency Ballroom 2) at the Signia by Hilton San Jose.
It's 2026. If an organization hasn't built an Automation Center of Excellence yet, is it too late — or is this the right moment to start?
The session covers:
- Why an Automation CoE still belongs in every cloud-native strategy
- The five stages of automation maturity
- An operating model for a CoE that can show quantifiable ROI
- Field lessons from designing, implementing, and operationalizing Ansible automation
- What Level Up clients are most excited about in Ansible Automation Platform 2.7, including self-service, AI-assisted workflows, custom execution environments, and stronger governance
Attendees should leave with a practical way to assess current automation maturity, tips for a sustainable CoE in the age of generative AI, and a clearer view of where specialized services and training help teams become self-sufficient.
