Deploy Ansible Automation Platform
As a namespace administrator, you can use Ansible Automation Platform gateway to manage new Ansible Automation Platform components in your OpenShift environment.
The Ansible Automation Platform gateway uses the Ansible Automation Platform custom resource to manage and integrate the following Ansible Automation Platform components into a unified user interface:
- Automation controller
- Automation hub
- Event-Driven Ansible
- Red Hat Ansible Lightspeed (This feature is disabled by default, you must opt in to use it.)
Before you can deploy the platform gateway you must have Ansible Automation Platform Operator installed in a namespace. If you have not installed Ansible Automation Platform Operator see Installing the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Operator on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
Platform gateway is only available under Ansible Automation Platform Operator version 2.6. Every component deployed under Ansible Automation Platform Operator 2.6 defaults to version 2.6.
If you have the Ansible Automation Platform Operator and some or all of the Ansible Automation Platform components installed see Deploying the platform gateway with existing Ansible Automation Platform components for how to proceed.
- Deploy a new Ansible Automation Platform instance with components
After installing the Ansible Automation Platform Operator in your namespace you can set up your Ansible Automation Platform instance. Then link all the platform components to a single user interface. - Add components to an existing deployment
You can link any components of the Ansible Automation Platform, that you have already installed to a new Ansible Automation Platform instance. - Access Ansible Automation Platform through the UI
Use the Ansible Automation Platform instance as your default. This instance links the automation controller, automation hub, and Event-Driven Ansible deployments to a single interface. - Access Ansible Automation Platform through the CLI
You can use the OpenShift Container Platform CLI to fetch the web address and the password of the Automation controller that you created. To login to the platform gateway, you need the web address and the password.
