Hello all,

Could you give me some help regarding setting up ANSIBLE AWX on the AWS cloud?

What is the best method? Create an EC2? an ECS? other ? What type of DB ?

Do we have to use AWX operator ?

Many thanks for you help.

Refer to the github [https://github.com/ansible/awx](https://github.com/ansible/awx)

If you want a development environment, My suggestion is EC2instance and docker build  
If you are looking for production use Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, and deploy your awx custer  
Progress is DB you would choose to run with awx (also use as a container)

AWX isn't supported in Docker. If you want to deploy in AWS then use EKS.
