Ansible Pro

Move from Ansible YAML to a controlled automation workflow without leaving your JetBrains IDE.

Ansible Pro connects project-aware editing, inventory navigation, Vault, validation, playbook runs, and AAP/AWX. It activates only in Ansible-shaped projects and stays out of Kubernetes, Helm, GitHub Actions, Docker Compose, and generic YAML.

Start free

• Scope-safe Ansible editing. Completion, hover documentation, navigation, and diagnostics use the official Ansible language server only where the project structure identifies Ansible.
• Local collection intelligence. Module FQCNs and descriptions come from the project's configured ansible-doc environment, so completion and Ctrl+Q documentation reflect the collections installed for that project.
• Inventory and variable navigation. Jump between playbook usages, inventory declarations, group_vars, and host_vars; complete known groups and hosts; inspect variable precedence without grepping the repository.
• Role and project support. Navigate roles across monorepos, edit ansible.cfg with highlighting and completion, and configure external Ansible tools from Settings.

Professional workflows

Try every Professional workflow with the 14-day full-feature trial.

• Route Vault access instead of repeatedly entering secrets. View, encrypt, decrypt, and transparently edit Vault files and inline values. Map project vault-id values such as prod, staging, and dev to 1Password CLI, macOS Keychain, or pass.
• Validate and run with IDE-native feedback. Use dedicated playbook, ansible-lint, and syntax-check run configurations, controlled presets, and clickable console locations that open the failing task.
• Operate AAP/AWX from the IDE. Test the connection, list job templates, launch a template with extra-vars, and inspect job output after completion.
• Work across the project. Open the inventory graph, propagate variable renames across inventory and vars files, and run Molecule tests from the IDE.

Requirements and limitations

The plugin uses your installed ansible-language-server, ansible-doc, ansible-playbook, ansible-lint, and ansible-vault tools. Settings → Tools → Ansible shows their status, installation guidance, and per-tool override paths. Missing tools fail non-fatally with actionable feedback.

Targets unified IntelliJ IDEA 2025.2+ and compatible paid JetBrains IDEs. Legacy Community editions are out of scope. Galaxy collection installation is not included.
