VAS Experts Implements Ansible for BRAS Automation

2025: Implementation of Ansible

VAS Experts has implemented the Ansible tool to automate BRAS (Broadband Remote Access Server) configuration. This improved efficiency, reduced errors, and accelerated deployment. The company announced this on April 30, 2025.

BRAS/BNG is a key component of broadband access networks that is responsible for managing subscriber connections, traffic routing, authorization, billing and other important functions. In large networks, the configuration and maintenance of BRAS becomes especially difficult: the equipment must be integrated with other network devices, which requires regular updating of configurations for each element of the infrastructure. These processes are often executed manually, which increases the risk of errors, complicates parameter control, and slows down network administrators.

It is due to the high complexity of BRAS management that it is critical to automate its configuration. Ansible is one of the best tools for solving this problem, since it allows you to automate configuration management, speed up routine operations and minimize the impact of the human factor without installing agents on hosts. With Ansible, BRAS tuning becomes unified, predictable, and scalable, especially for large and dynamic network infrastructures.

Automation of BRAS configuration using Ansible makes processes much easier. With increasing demands on the speed of service implementation and network stability, manual processes are becoming a bottleneck. Using Ansible allows you to ensure predictability, scalability and minimization of errors in the deployment of BRAS, which is especially important for large and dynamically developing network infrastructures, "said Artyom Tereshchenko, Development Director of VAS Experts.

To implement the solution, you need to install Ansible on the control server. This process takes only a few minutes and is executed via a command line on Linux or Windows systems without the need for complex configuration.
