Hi everybody,

I have a question regarding Ansible Tower Free Trial.

As said on official site, Ansible Free trial (self-support) is a free and timeless version of Ansible Tower. This trial has the feature set of self-support subscription and can manage up to 10 nodes. My question: Does it implies that, if I have only 10 nodes to manage, Ansible Tower can be free forever with upgrades included?

I just want to be sure in order to avoid wrong information 😉

Thank you beforehand for your replies and if my question should not be here can you please provide me where I can ask it?

Best regards,

Lucas

Yes, upgrades are included in the 10-node free Tower license. As you mentioned this is a reduced feature set from AWX - it does not include LDAP, surveys and a couple other things. It also does not include any support incidents.

Also, ‘forever’ is a long time. I am not aware of any plans to change this aspect of Tower licensing, and it’s been in place for a long time, but no promise has been made that it will not ever change in the future.

Thanks,

-Graham
