Hello, Can you confirm that it is possible to cluster with AWX? I mean that if I have 3 servers and the first one fails then the second or third one will take the load automatically (fail-over). If yes what is the official method because there is some information about it but it is always a bit different from each other. …and if high availability exists, is it a requirement to use K8S? ---

I have installed AWX in OCP4.2. and it works OK. oc get pods NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE awx-0 4/4 Running 0 6d22h postgresql-1-deploy 0/1 Completed 0 7d1h postgresql-1-fcnml 1/1 Running 0 7d1h You can scale the awx-0 pod and generate multiple AWX instances that work as a resizable cluster. oc scale --replicas=2 statefulsets awx statefulset.apps/awx scaled oc get pods NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE awx-0 4/4 Running 0 6d22h awx-1 4/4 Running 0 6m42s postgresql-1-deploy 0/1 Completed 0 7d1h postgresql-1-fcnml 1/1 Running 0 7d1h Is something like this what you want to create? ---

Hi Alberto, Thanks for your feedback Yes It’s something like that I want but either with K8S or docker-compose … This configuration is a HA mode ? And is it possible to have an external database ? ---

another question : Could you share me your inventory AWX file to get and see a concrete example ? 🙂 ---

Yes, the configuration is HA MODE. Postgres is a external database with persistent storage. As a requirement, you must previously create a pvc named postgresql For inventory configuration I use this link: [https://gist.github.com/infamousjoeg/51de0e4d008e2b418233d5f848777d29](https://gist.github.com/infamousjoeg/51de0e4d008e2b418233d5f848777d29) And when I did the AWX installation in OCP, I found a bug. [https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/5501](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/5501) And I configured /var/lib/awx/projects with persistent storage too with this link: [https://casesup.com/category/blog/devops/deployment-of-ansible-awx-on-openshift-origin](https://casesup.com/category/blog/devops/deployment-of-ansible-awx-on-openshift-origin) ---

Thanks Alberto I will check and analyze all those infos 🙂 Do you think OpenShift is better than Kubernetes ? ---

Hi Alberto I can’t access to AWX using an URL and with the deployment from Kubernetes . how did you fix this problem or configure it with on Openshift ? ---
