Red Hat Communities of Practice Tower Utilities Collection

This ansible collection includes a number of roles which can be useful for installing and managing AWX or Ansible Tower. Using this collection, you'll be able to automate following tasks:

• prepare and install Tower (on a normal OS, or on OpenShift)
• configure the OS to support Kerberos (if you plan to manage Windows hosts using AD credentials)
• backup and restore Ansible Tower
• install a minimal Git repo over SSH, for demonstration and learning purposes

Release and Upgrade Notes

Many roles and variables have been renamed to reflect the product renaming from Tower to controller/AAP. Verify carefully your inventory variables and playbooks.

The OCP installation role has been suppressed due to the introduction of an operator. Further (community) automation for AAP on OCP is available from the https://github.com/redhat-cop/gitops-catalog/tree/main/ansible-automation-platform[GitOps catalogue].
