Node counting in subscriptions

The Ansible Automation Platform subscription defines the number of Managed Nodes that can be managed as part of your subscription.

For more information about managed node requirements for subscriptions, see How are "managed nodes" defined as part of the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform offering.

Note

Ansible does not recycle node counts or reset automated hosts.
