Refactoring AWX into a Pluggable, Service-Oriented Architecture

We’ve got an update on how we will move to a service-oriented architecture

Our implementation plan involves several key steps:

  1. Identifying Modular Services: We will start by identifying the core functionalities that can be extracted into individual plugins and/or services.
  2. Creating a Communication Framework: Establish a robust communication framework to ensure seamless interaction between these services.
  3. Gradual Transition: Implement the new architecture in phases to allow for continuous feedback and improvement.
  4. Community Collaboration: Engage with our community throughout the process to gather feedback and ensure the new architecture meets the needs of our users.

Which will result in:

  • Improved Flexibility:** Easier to implement changes and add new features.
  • Enhanced Maintainability: Simplified codebase with clear service boundaries.
  • Better Code Reuse: More efficient reuse of code across different projects.
  • Active Community Participation: Greater opportunity for community members to contribute and shape the project.

Please join the discussion and share your perspective via the Refactoring AWX into a Pluggable, Service-Oriented Architecture forum post.

You can read all the details, including a call for maintainers for the Helm chart, in the forum at Upcoming changes to AWX Operator installation methods

There is now a discussion on the Ansible 11 roadmap. Just like the one for 10 has been based on ansible-core 2.17, it’s based on 2.18. Feel free to discuss and review the draft for any C&P mistakes or similar!

THAT’S ALL FOR NOW!
