I’m curious about what kind of setups are out there for Ansible Tower.

Does anyone have a non-prod Ansible Tower and a prod Ansible Tower? Would you recommend or advise against it?

I was thinking this might be a good idea in our setup because:

- we have restrictions with network control zones in which non-prod boxes can’t talk to prod boxes, and prod boxes can’t talk to non-prod. They also happen to be in different data centers location.

- can be used to develop and test playbooks for non-prod environments [DEV, TEST, STAGE] - useful if deployment process and pre-reqs were to change with a new release or integration

Hi Melissa,

This is the list for the core project. If you have tower questions, can we please suggest posting to [support@ansible.com](mailto:support@ansible.com)?

Thank you!
