Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to install many different aspects of AAP. This chapter may seem a bit daunting if you try to do everything. The most important piece to install is the Automation controller.

In the next chapter, you will learn how to install the Ansible Automation controller and Automation hub on Kubernetes or OpenShift. If you are using the virtual machine installation, which we covered in this chapter, then you can skip Chapter 3, Installing Ansible Automation Platform on OpenShift. However, it is recommended that you read this and the next chapter to understand the differences between machine and containerized installations.

Once the necessary pieces have been installed, whether you are running a controller or AWX, Automation hub, or Galaxy NG, interacting with them is much the same. If you plan to skip the next chapter, then Chapter 4, Configuring Settings and Authentication, goes into the details of setting up authentication and other settings.
