What is the nature and description of the request?
The customer is requesting support for rolling updates in containerized deployments of Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) version 2.5 and above. This enhancement would allow for non-disruptiveupdates ** of AAP components deployed as containers on virtual machines, avoiding full service downtime during upgrade processes.
They are looking for a mechanism or official guidance that supports seamless, automated updates of AAP components one at a time (or in small batches).
Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here) Minimize Downtime: The customer operates automation workloads critical to daily business functions. Any full platform outage during an upgrade impacts operations. Operational Efficiency: Manual or full-stop upgrades increase the daily workload of platform administrators and reduce productivity.
How would you like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)
Provide a rolling update mechanism or tooling for container-based AAP
Ensure the platform can:
Upgrade individual components (e.g., controller, execution environments, database) one at a time or in a defined sequence.
Deliver official documentation and guidelines outlining the supported rolling update process.
