summary

Shows a working platform built from Ansible Automation Platform, GitLab/Jenkins and Kubernetes with a Backstage portal that lets a developer launch a workflow to create an AWS VM and install Apache automatically. Demo proves self-service with approval (small choices run, large choices require manager sign-off), reduces ticket ping‑pong and centralizes docs and CI, but surfaces governance gaps: service‑account access to templates and missing fine‑grained RBAC. Presents GitOps (Argo CD) for drift protection and a tested dev experience for CI, registries and deployment.
