Hi folks

Recently Redhat Automation platform has been introduced. Is it completely different from Ansible Tower. The reason I am asking I got confused which one to read ☹

Automation controller is the control plane for Ansible Automation Platform. You will upgrade Ansible Tower to automation controller when migrating to Ansible Automation Platform 2.
