AWX for Enterprise Environments

I have been researching methods and defining process to handle some of the higher enterprise level functions that I think should belong in AWX. Some of them functions I think I can automate so it can offer a workable solution which then needs to be integrated back into the original AWX product.

Can anybody who has done work in any of the below functions provide a starting point to find solutions to these important requirements? Can AWX be used in a stable long term enterprise environment?

My areas of exploration when setting up AWX for Enterprise are;

  • High Availability
  • Clustering
  • Migrate data between AWX instances
  • Upgrade AWX in-place
  • Scalability
  • Capacity
  • Load Balancing
  • Backup & Restore
  • Disaster Recovery

Is Kubernetes a step in the right direction?

While Kubernetes may not provide a direct solution to all these aspects I think it will take much of the load I need to design into the solution that the underlying service may provide.

Regards,

Sammy

Hello,

For an enterprise environment I would go with Ansible Tower instead of AWX.
Personally, I’ve had terrible experiences trying to do in-place upgrades of AWX.
