BacklogZero: ticket to Ansible job template in a few clicks

An agentic orchestrator between the ITSM, Git, and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform you already run. Agents draft playbooks from the ticket. Your team reviews, commits, and Controller runs the job templates BacklogZero creates.

  • Self-hosted. Local LLM by default. No cloud LLM API keys required.
  • Works with Jira or ServiceNow, your AAP projects, and existing auth boundaries.
  • Web UI plus MCP. Priced as an AAP rider that can renew with your Ansible anniversary.
  • Built to raise AAP utilization: more tickets become playbooks your team actually runs.

451 Research · S&P Global Market Intelligence · 2021

Level Up helps customers improve IT operations efficiency with a DevOps approach

This Red Hat–commissioned 451 Research brief covers how Level Up enables public-sector teams — often constrained on budget and headcount — to offload configuration, provisioning, and policy to Ansible and OpenShift, and to measure “done” as both time-to-deploy and the ability to do it again.

  • Snapshot: Level Up Technology LLC · Woodland Hills, California · key supplier Red Hat.
  • Challenge: talent shortages, pandemic-driven remote work, and IT overhead that grows when infrastructure scales.
  • Approach: hybrid cloud, automation of manual ops, and commercially supported open source.
  • Outcome: continuous improvement that teams can treat as an investment in themselves.
