ansible-ee vs ansible-builder on production

Hi. I want to use ee on AWX environment and found out that ansible-ee depends on ansible-builder. What should I use? I can enrich ansible-ee with additional galaxy packages for example or use ansible-builder to add these packages. What the difference between these two approaches?

Hi!

The recommended way to build your custom EEs is to use the ansible-builder tool.

builder will use

EE_BASE_IMAGE: ‘quay.io/ansible/ansible-runner:latest

as the base image
