awx-operator:2.19.1 image based on EOL RHEL/UBI 8.9 — plans for a refreshed base image?

Hi all,

Wiz is flagging Quay because it’s built on RHEL 8.9, which went EOL on 2024-05-31 (closest supported is 8.10). This is the awx-manager controller-manager pod.

How we deploy: EKS, Helmfile-managed, using the community awx-operator-helm chart (currently 3.2.0, planning to move to 3.2.1). appVersion is pinned to 2.19.1 on both chart versions, and upstream
ansible/awx-operator hasn’t tagged a release since 2024-07-02 — so there’s no newer image to pull.

A couple of questions:

  1. Is a rebuild on UBI 8.10 / 9 planned? Even a no-code-change 2.19.2 retag would unblock compliance-gated deployments.
  2. If not, what’s the recommended path — rebuild locally from the upstream Dockerfile, or move to Red Hat’s supported AAP Operator?
  3. Is the community AWX Operator still actively maintained, or should orgs with compliance requirements plan a migration?

Happy to file a GitHub issue on ansible/awx-operator if that’s the better channel.

Thanks!
