Ansible Automation Platform and RHEL 10

[Trevor]

Is AAP a built-in part of RHEL 10, or is it an add-on?

Hi,
Based an my experience, AAP is not part of RHEL 10, it is a sparate solution.
You can install and use AAP on RHEL 8,9 or 10.

Thanks Akyuz_Remzi for your reply!

@Trevor -

As others have answered AAP (Ansible Automation Platform) is a stand-alone product and not built in as any part of RHEL. AAP is the full-blown enterprise automation product that Red Hat leverages to provide Automation Controller, Event Driven Ansible, Private Automation Hub, and more ...

If you are asking if you can still have what used to be called "ansible-engine" which contains the ansible and ansible-playbook commands along with ansible-galaxy then the answer is yes, these packages are still part of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and can be instaleld with the ansible-core package.

This does not provide ansible-navigator or any of the advanced AAP features and it also doesn't provide any of the execution environments.

@Trevor Although you can certainly install AAP on RHEL 10, it isnot included as a "built-in" component of the base operating system instead, it's a separate product that you deploy on top of RHEL using its own specific subscription.

Because of this distinction, AAP carries its own licensing, dedicated installers, and a support structure that is entirely separate from your underlying RHEL OS subscription. Essentially, while RHEL provides the reliable platform, AAP provides the enterprise-grade orchestration and management capabilities required for large-scale automation.
