Hi all, I have installed the latest of AWX (7.0.0) but I have an issue. When I test from UI with an adHoc command like "ping " from my primary node to any server on my network, the ping is OK When I run this same job from my second node, for example, the one remains in “Waiting” few seconds and then it fails. I can see the job on my first node so the relation is OK but it fails. Could you tell me that it could be the root cause? ? RabbitMQ ? (Note : I have an external database so not in a container) My inventory file have been change with theses datas : ---

What error message are you getting exactly? It looks like your configuration is targeting a local docker/Swarm deployment and neither of those deployment methods supports clustering. That’s been talked about extensively on other threads with some work arounds provided. ---

Could you give me the real or good method for deploying AWX 7 in cluster mode? 🙂 ---

There’s a couple options you can try. The first is to deploy on Kubernetes which is the AWX-team supported clustering method. But if deploying onto K8s isn’t an option, some folks have been able to make changes to the installer to run a Swarm-clustered solution. I believe one of the users got the local docker clustering solution hammered out [[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/awx-project/QxdoiT6r7BM/eD35g0sLBAAJ](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/awx-project/QxdoiT6r7BM/eD35g0sLBAAJ)] but since it’s not “officially supported”, you might have trouble getting support when issues come up. FYI I haven’t personally worked with the local docker clustering solution and can’t speak for it ---

Ok thanks for your help, for the moment I can’t use K8s but if you can give me the link for use it … ? 🙂 In the meantime, I will try to apply the second method you provided me. Thanks ---

Sure thing, take a look at the Kubernetes section in the install guide [[https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/INSTALL.md#kubernetes](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/INSTALL.md#kubernetes)] for info on K8s deployment requirements. Then you can scale the deployment/statefulset via standard kubectl controls: kubectl scale statefulsets --replicas=. Good luck!
