Hi guys,

We have an AWX deployment using mesos/marathon orchestration.

We upgraded to v10.0.0 and we noticed the addition of the redis container and the change from TCP to UNIX sockets.

Is there a document explaining the rationale behind that change? Is still possible to setup the BROKER\_URL to point to the TCP connection instead?

Any information is appreciated,

Thanks,

-Cesar
