Trying out AWX 19.0 and having literally everything windows break due to a faulty default EE is starting to make me realize the consequences of working with a fast-moving upstream project.

Is there any particular version of AWX that people have had success with? There’s no “stable” release so I can’t tell.

I noticed that 17.0 is completely broken, but 17.1 seems a bit stable (since it wasn’t subject to that nasty EE update)

Been in kind of the same limbo, 17.1 seems to be good in my testing so far. Going to hold off on 18.0+ versions for now

I've been on 15.0.1 since it came out (about 6 months?) and it's been pretty good. It's worth noting that our inventory is "localhost" and nothing else - we use it to control cloud resources - so there are definitely areas we never touch. I use it with awx-operator 0.6.0 on Azure AKS, instead of docker-compose.

I am really hoping for a reliable EE-based build sometime soon, since the main issues we have would be solved by that: having to build a custom version to get dependencies into a venv, and a way for users to test better before pushing to git. Seems like awx and ansible-runner both have issues with that currently.

Is there anything that 15.0.1 lacks?
