Hi Team, Currently we are using Ansible 2.8 version on top of RHEL 7.9 version and look like it Unmaintained (end of life) hence we are planning for upgrading ansible version. Ansible 2.13 supported on RHEL 7.9 & 8.6 OS version.

From the docs [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation\_guide/intro\_installation.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html) “For your control node (the machine that runs Ansible), you can use nearly any UNIX-like machine with Python 3.8 or newer installed.” I just checked on one of my RHEL7.9 machines and looking at that, you may have some issues. Looks like 3.6 is the latest available (from the RH repositories, you may be able to look at epel or maybe even the python website). Others may have a better idea than myself though.

> Hi Team, > > My query : Ansible 2.13 version support on both RHEL 7.9 and RHEL 8.6 OS version ? > > Thanks and Regards, > S Sathish The short answer is "no". You can use "yum remove ansible; yum install ansible-core" to get a more contemporary version on RHEL 8, but ansible-core 2.13 is out of reach until and unless ansible developers cooperate with RHEL about providing an updated python38-sphinx and python38-jinja2 package to support their bleeding edge and quite unwelcome demand for jinja2 \>= 3.0.0. The "ansible" package got split to "ansible", which isn't ansible, it's actually a bundle of more than 100 ansible galaxy collections with the real name "ansible\_collections", and "ansiblc-core", with the real name "ansible" from the git repo at [https://github.com/ansible/ansible](https://github.com/ansible/ansible). Both have misnamed tarballs and MODULE.egg-info python directories, as part of a very strange architectural split of ansible some years ago. You're not the first person confused by it, and you won't be the last. Nico Kadel-Garcia
