#2Supposedly a > $100mm deal. Both companies are already headquartered in N.C., and Ansible has a ton of momentum in the RHEL and OpenStack arenas, so it would make sense to pull the project into the fold.
One thing I wonder is how much the project's priorities would shift away from (if at all) anything non-RHEL-centric.

I would imagine it is not so much about Ansible's general valuation in the industry but about its value for Red Hat (a.k.a -- Red Hat is not buying Ansible for its revenues but for its technology).

As a Red Hat customer I'll be interesting to see how it affects the complete fucking shambles that has been the Satellite 6 rollout, which was supposed to be full Foreman/Puppet integration for provisioning and config management.
Apart from the fact that it's been a shambles, Red Hat have been solidly pushing customers down the puppet route. I expect there will be some grumpy meetings in the next few weeks.
