      Feature Overview

      This feature is still highly under discussion

       

      • A feature coming with Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) will be something called execution environments [EE].
      • EE's are designed to allow you to standard an 'automation runtime stack' which can run everywhere consistently, regardless of whether it's on a developers laptop, or in AAP, in cloud, wherever.
      • EE's essentially are an evolution to virtualenvs in Python/Ansible Tower.
      • We should be able to call use them from RHACM regardless where they are deployed
      • A preview in the future of Ansible Automation Platform can be also seen in this blog:
      • Creating Ansible Execution Environments using Ansible Builder and Shipwright  (it's also a tekton integration)
      • https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bOLlJOI4Foc6y70pFrzgQ2yZ8VHXytqLvj5RCkDhMDE/edit#heading=h.2rwbkvlc14nu
        10:58
          
        Now, we are using Execution Environment = Container Image = all required content and executable required to perform Automation

      Goals

      • Execute Ansible flexible on OpenShift Clusters which you ideally can call via Placement
      • when we create a Cluster in RHACM, how can we use a Playbook to make some changes on the Cluster
      • when a Policy is violated, how can we use a Playbook to change something on that cluster
