Preface

You can configure a new installation of Event-Driven Ansible controller 1.1 with automation controller 4.4 or 4.5, which is considered a general availability release fully supported by Red Hat. Automation controller 4.4 and 4.5 were released as part of Ansible Automation Platform 2.4.

Upgrading to Event-Driven Ansible controller 1.1 from an earlier release is unsupported at this time.

This means that you can install a new Event-Driven Ansible controller 2.5 server and configure rulebook activations to execute job templates on an Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 automation controller. With this interoperability support you can retain your existing Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 clusters and add Event-Driven Ansible controller 2.5 to them. This gives you the option to upgrade your Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 cluster to Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 at a date that suits you, whilst giving you all the benefits of Event-Driven Ansible 2.5.

The installs are still two separate installs, in that you manage the Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 cluster with the Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 installer. The Event-Driven Ansible 2.5 server is managed with the Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 installer.

This guide shows you how to install and configure Event-Driven Ansible 1.1 to work with automation controller 4.4 or 4.5 for a Red Hat Package Manager (RPM)-based installation.
