- Add a safe plugin variable to Event-Driven Ansible controller
When using theredhat.insights_edaplugin for rulebook activations, add a safe plugin variable to a platform directory to ensure a secure connection and correct port mapping displays. - Add execution nodes
Containerized Ansible Automation Platform can deploy remote execution nodes. - Configure storage for automation hub
Configure storage backends for automation hub to store automation content by using Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, or Network File System (NFS). - Configure a HAProxy load balancer
Configure a HAProxy load balancer in front of platform gateway with a custom CA cert. - Enable automation content collection and container signing
Automation content signing is disabled by default. To enable it, the following installation variables are required in the inventory file: - Configure an external (customer provided) PostgreSQL database
Set up an external (customer provided) PostgreSQL database for containerized Ansible Automation Platform to use your own database infrastructure. - Configure custom TLS certificates
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform uses X.509 certificate and key pairs to secure traffic. These certificates secure internal traffic between Ansible Automation Platform components and external traffic for public UI and API connections.
