Sessions
Ansible engineering has been working on transforming AWX to a pluggable, service-oriented architecture. We’ve announced plans via the community forum and have said that the transformation will make AWX more scalable and easier to contribute to.
This talk focuses on some of the challenges the Ansible engineering team at Red Hat have faced with AWX and how the re-architecture work is intended to resolve them. We’ll also have a look at some of the pain points for contributors and how Red Hat wants to remove obstacles for the community. Finally, we’ll have a brief look at what the future might hold for AWX after the re-architecture work is complete.
