Hi,

I am new to ansible. while going through the document is it written that Ansible Tower is not supported in SunOs. Could anyone please let me know if is there any other way to install it in Solaris Instance and if Ansible tower is different from Ansible?

Thanks in advance.

ansible itself (the command line tools) supports Solaris, mainly as a  
target but you should also be able to run it from a solaris box with a  
new enough version of python. Tower is a proprietary web frontend to  
ansible, it does not need to run on Solaris to manage solaris hosts.

For tower you can send questions to support@ansible.com
