Choose a deployment method and topology
Red Hat tests Ansible Automation Platform with a defined set of topologies to give you opinionated deployment options. Deploy all components of Ansible Automation Platform so that all features and capabilities are available for use without the need to take further action.
Red Hat tests the installation of Ansible Automation Platform using a defined set of infrastructure topologies or reference architectures. Enterprise organizations can use one of the enterprise topologies for production deployments. This ensures the highest level of uptime, performance, and continued scalability. Organizations or deployments that are resource constrained can use a growth topology.
You can install Ansible Automation Platform on different infrastructure topologies and environment configurations. However, Red Hat does not fully test topologies outside of published reference architectures. Red Hat recommends using a tested topology for all new deployments and provides commercially reasonable support for deployments that meet minimum requirements.
- Installation and deployment models
Ansible Automation Platform offers many installation and deployment options based on your infrastructure and organizational needs. Each installation type reference includes supported infrastructure types and links to tested topologies. - Container growth topology
The container-based growth topology provides a smaller footprint deployment without redundancy for organizations getting started with Ansible Automation Platform. - Container enterprise topology
The container-based enterprise topology provides redundancy and higher compute for large volumes of automation. - Operator growth topology
The Operator-based growth topology provides a smaller footprint deployment without redundancy for organizations getting started with Ansible Automation Platform on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. - Operator enterprise topology
The Operator-based enterprise topology provides redundancy and higher compute for large volumes of automation on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. - RPM growth topology
The RPM-based growth topology provides a smaller footprint deployment without redundancy for organizations getting started with Ansible Automation Platform. - RPM enterprise topology
The RPM-based enterprise topology provides redundancy and higher compute for large volumes of automation. - Network ports and protocols
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform uses several ports to communicate with its services. These ports must be open and available for incoming connections to the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform server in order for it to work.
