Which companies are using AWX

I would like to know which companies are using AWX, thanks!

BMW uses AWX

An issue with AWX is that upgrades are not supported. The AWX community uses / refers to the Fedora model for explaining this approach. This is false equivalence of course. You can’t compare an OS with a web application when it comes to data migration. Fedora is real world usable without a data migration approach. AWX is not.

BMW created the upgrade scripts so they can keep AWX up-to-date. So to make AWX real world usable you have to do that yourself.

This is I think a downside to the Red Hat open source approach. The open source distributions are not intended for real world use. There is a strong push to use the commercial distributions. This is the main difference with the Canonical approach to open source. In my opinion.

At SAP we have multiple instances of AWX running on Kubernetes for our infrastructure automation.

To be more flexible with downtimes and so on every infrastructure department has its own AWX running, but all use the same Helm chart for deployment.
So far I am really happy with the Software. We are using it since version 5 and never had big issues so far :slight_smile:
