Red Hat SummitChapter 2. Installing the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
Prerequisites
- You have installed the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform catalog in OperatorHub.
-
You have created a
StorageClassobject for your platform and a persistent volume claim (PVC) withReadWriteManyaccess mode. See Dynamic provisioning for details. To run Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform clusters on Amazon Web Services (AWS) with
ReadWriteManyaccess mode, you must add NFS or other storage.-
For information about the AWS Elastic Block Store (EBS) or to use the
aws-ebsstorage class, see Persistent storage using AWS Elastic Block Store. -
To use multi-attach
ReadWriteManyaccess mode for AWS EBS, see Attaching a volume to multiple instances with Amazon EBS Multi-Attach.

You cannot deploy Ansible Automation Platform in the default namespace on your OpenShift Cluster. The aap namespace is recommended. You can use a custom namespace, but it should run only Ansible Automation Platform.
Procedure
- Log in to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
-
Navigate to
. - Search for the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform operator and click .
Select an Update Channel:
- stable-2.x: installs a namespace-scoped operator, which limits deployments of automation hub and automation controller instances to the namespace the operator is installed in. This is suitable for most cases. The stable-2.x channel does not require administrator privileges and utilizes fewer resources because it only monitors a single namespace.
- stable-2.x-cluster-scoped: deploys automation hub and automation controller across multiple namespaces in the cluster and requires administrator privileges for all namespaces in the cluster.
- Select Installation Mode, Installed Namespace, and Approval Strategy.
- Click .
The installation process begins. When installation finishes, a modal appears notifying you that the Ansible Automation Platform Operator is installed in the specified namespace.
Verification
- Click to view your newly installed Ansible Automation Platform Operator and verify the following operator custom resources are present:
| Automation controller | Automation hub | Event-Driven Ansible (EDA) | Red Hat Ansible Lightspeed |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
|
You can only install a single instance of the Ansible Automation Platform Operator into a single namespace. Installing multiple instances in the same namespace can lead to improper operation for both operator instances.
