AWX

I first thoroughly tested the automation platform AWX—also known as Ansible Automation Platform—in 2023 and later used it in client projects. To quickly spin up clean test environments, I automated the AWX installation using a GitLab CI/CD pipeline.

Completed
Planning and installation AAP cluster

The client needed to centrally manage RHEL machines across multiple network environments. Ansible was already being used manually via the command line. My task was to introduce the Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) in these environments and ensure that existing playbooks could run properly within it. I also created dedicated execution environments for these playbooks. Today, the client operates a working AAP setup and can easily manage their RHEL machines.

Completed
Automated AWX deployment within Gitlab CI/CD

In customer projects, our team frequently installed and configured AWX instances. At the time, we lacked a proper test environment, which made testing and experimentation difficult. To solve this, I took on the task of automating the AWX installation within a k3s single-node cluster—optionally also supporting multi-node setups. The automation was implemented via a GitLab CI/CD pipeline. As a result, our team was able to spin up a fully functional AWX environment within minutes.
