To help you prepare for and navigate the Ansible Automation Platform 2.6 release, we've compiled the top questions and their answers. Starting at the beginning, here are some common questions and answers about the initial setup of Ansible Automation Platform, whether you're trying it for the first time or just updating to the latest version. Is there documentation for installing or migrating to Ansible Automation Platform 2.6? Red Hat's official product documentation for Ansible Automation Platform 2.6 provides an installation guide to help you get up and running. If you're migrating a previous install to the latest version, read our 2.6 migration documentation. For a quick overview of the process, read this installation and upgrade blog. When moving from using RPM to containerized installations, do I need three separate VMs for service containers (automation controller, database, and automation hub)? Yes, we still recommend having one VM instance for each service container. See the installation and migration guides above. There are additional changes, so be sure to review the tested deployment models. Can I upgrade or migrate 2.4 (RPM) on host A to 2.6 (containerized) on host B? First upgrade to 2.6, then migrate to the containerized installation. Is a database with high availability (HA) available in Ansible Automation Platform 2.6? Red Hat does not provide HA solutions.
