Hi Team,

I have AWX setup on minikube cluster on Ubuntu machine. I have also got Ansible installed (Version2.5.1 with python2.7) on this ubuntu machine.

Using this ansible, I am running some playbooks through CLI. Now, I need to upgrade ansible (uninstall then install the new version of Ansible with Python3) to execute my some playbooks.

So, please let me know if does AWX use ansible which is installed on my ubuntu machine?  
And, if I uninstall or upgrade Ansible on my Ubuntu machine, will it impact AWX functionality?

Please suggest.

Regards,  
Jatin Garg

I believe that the ansible that AWX uses is contained in one of the containers, so your locally installed instance shouldn’t impact it.
