  1. Anyone with Ansible/AWX experience accessing HTTP APIs on protected networks?

    I have tried documentation, the global web and chat with colleagues. Time to bring on the fedi human search.

    Using ansible on switches that require you to come from a protected network is easy, you set up your ssh command to go through a jumphost. Accessing switches or firewalls that use an HTTP API is easy, you use a package that talks to the HTTP API, probably using the httpapi package.

    But an HTTP API where you need to come from a protected network? Manually it's easy, just `ssh -D` to a jumphost/bastion in the right network and tell curl to use a SOCKS proxy.

    On the Ansible side though, I can't find the right place to get httpapi to go through a SOCKS proxy, and I'm not sure where's the best place to run that ssh command.

    Has anyone on Fedi already solved this problem?

  2. Red Hat trennt sich vom monolithisch konstruierten Ansible Tower und nennt den Nachfolger Automation Platform 2. Der besteht aus unabhängigen Komponenten.

  3. Is there a trivial way to determine which #AnsibleTower release corresponds to roughly which #AWX release?

    Ansible Tower has release notes and clear requirements etc, Red Hat is starving AWX of this kind of information to create the incentive to buy the product.

    The official answer is of course "just get your company to buy Ansible Tower", but that's not the environment I'm in and not the answer I'm looking for.
