Isolated Node - AWX

Does AWX support isolated node feature ? or it just a premium feature only for Ansible tower ? Can someone please help to answer this since inventory files for both awx and tower were different and really want to setup isolated nodes under awx instead of Tower

Sujith,

AWX’s API does technically support isolated nodes, but we haven’t implemented support in the installer yet (mostly because we’ve been waiting on other enhancements to clustering to land in awx: https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/1058). It’s possible that when we do implement it, the process for setup and installation will differ between awx and Tower’s more traditional installation process.

Thanks Ryan for the quick response. Since awx supports isolated nodes, is there any work around to enable it apart from normal installation.

Ref :

https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/760 , but it’s bit confusing that how he actually setup isolation nodes through awx-manage and tower installation files

Sujith,

It’s not currently supported in a stable manner in awx - the implementation is still up in the air, and it’s something we’re working on. There may be a way to hack or cobble together support (as you referenced in https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/760), but there’s currently no official, documented support for this feature in awx. Once the pull request for dynamic clustering merges, isolated nodes are an item on our list to figure out.

Ryan, are there any updates officially yet regarding isolated nodes ? I see we have the option to add instance group in awx but would be helpful if we can refer any documentation to make it work ?

Hi,

Just after an update on this one. I'm running AWX on K8s and would love to see isolated nodes working. Has anyone got isolated notes up and running with K8s/openshift If so are you able to list here what you did to get it up and running?

Cheers

Graham
