Technical requirements
This chapter will cover the platform and methods that will be used in this book. The code referenced in this chapter is available at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Demystifying-the-Ansible-Automation-Platform/tree/main/ch03. It is assumed that you have Ansible installed to run the code provided.
The Ansible Automation Platform Operator requires an OpenShift cluster to be used. While creating and customizing a full OpenShift cluster is beyond the scope of this book, there is an alternative: CodeReady Containers (CRC). CRC requires a Red Hat Developer Subscription to use. Once you have created CRC, the installation is the same as it would be on OpenShift.
An alternative is to set up an upstream instance of CRC – that is, AWX – on minikube. This chapter will talk about how to create this as well. Although very close to the previous installation method, it is slightly different.
It is highly recommended that you at least follow one...
