Hi,

It seems that Ansible Automation mesh is included in the just released Ansible automation platform 2.1.

Is this an Ansible automation platform 2.1only feature since I do not see any reference in the AWX release notes. (if so please point me to the documentation 🙂 )

With all the rebranding/renaming I am quite lost on what awx actually is and what is AAP only.

kind regards,

Hi Stefan,

Would you have some pointers to Ansible Automation mesh?

I think Automation mesh this is the Redhat naming for the technology that AWX uses , which is Receptor ([https://receptor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html](https://receptor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html)), enabled on AWX 19.4.0

Hi,

I think we have to wait till this is resolved

[https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/5151](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/5151)

I’m looking if I can contribute anything but AWX is kind of a large project to get started in.

kind regards
