Hi all,

We’re happy to announce that the next release of AWX, version 24.3.0 is now available!  
Some notable features include:

- Replaced role system (RBAC) with permissions-based database roles ([#14905](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/14905))
- Added a new attribute to the Terraform credential plugin which allows pushing of the Google GCE credentials file ([#15055](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/15055))

In addition AWX Operator version 2.16.0 has also been released!  
Some notable features include:

- Added new variables for Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console to metrics-utility ([#1816](https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/pull/1816))Please see the releases pages for more details:  
AWX: [Release 24.3.0 · ansible/awx · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/awx/releases/tag/24.3.0)  
Operator: [Release 2.16.0 · ansible/awx-operator · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/releases/tag/2.16.0)

Known Issues:

- Existing `/api/v2/roles/` type endpoints will be missing system auditor & admin roles
- Organization auditors will lose view permission to job templates that use inventories in their organization, but existing permissions are preserved via a data migration
- Existing role-related endpoints are marked as deprecated and a new set of endpoints for DB-backed role management are introduced

⚠ Hi folks, we’ve had two people report problems with awx-operator: 2.16.0 / AWX v24.3.0.  
You might see awx-task pod crashing. Possibly due to an issue when creating the psycopg connection. More info in this [bug report](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/15136).
