There used to be https://github.com/ansible/awx/releases/tag/ with a full list of updates/commits, does seem to be the case anymore?
https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/CHANGELOG.md
Says this:
This is a list of high-level changes for each release of AWX. A full list of commits can be found at https://github.com/ansible/awx/releases/tag/.
The reason I ask is because I would like to know what Ansible version is included in AWX 15.0.
Hello!
Awhile ago we stopped generating this, because it’s basically just a git log TAG…TAG (which is pretty easy to generate yourself if you desire). This is also around the time we started working on a human-consumable changelog, which is probably a better way to determine what changed between releases (versus a several-thousand line log of commit messages).
Thanks a lot.
However, I can’t seem to find the ansible version in tag 15.0, does that mean it was not updated to >= 2.10?
Thanks.
~ docker exec -it awx_task awx-manage --version
15.0.0
~ docker exec -it awx_task ansible --version
ansible 2.9.13
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = [‘/var/lib/awx/.ansible/plugins/modules’, ‘/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]
ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible
executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
python version = 3.6.8 (default, Apr 16 2020, 01:36:27) [GCC 8.3.1 20191121 (Red Hat 8.3.1-5)]
Thanks, any plans to upgrade to 2.10? I was hoping release 15 would have it.
Ansible 2.10 and 2.11 are very fundamentally different, and a lot about AWX is going to be changing in response to the break-out of content into collections.
We are introducing execution environments, and have some tooling around it
https://ansible-runner.readthedocs.io/en/latest/execution_environments.html
https://ansible-builder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Custom virtual environments will be getting removed, and instead, you will be able to supply a container image with the dependencies you need, as well as the collections you want.
All execution environments need to use this as their base image:
https://quay.io/repository/ansible/ansible-runner?tab=tags
This image has ansible-base installed. It is expected that users will install their collections in layers on top of this.
Here’s a demo of the default execution that AWX will make use of, when the transition is made.
https://quay.io/repository/awx/ee?tag=latest&tab=tags
When the corresponding AWX release comes out, we will be supporting Ansible 2.10 & 2.11, while at the same time containerizing job runs.
A work-in-progress is up right now at:
https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/8030
Expect more information about this soon. We’re going to be making a lot more noise about it.
But you can go ahead and start asking us questions now.
