How to install Ansible in RHEL 9

  • The Ansible Core package ansible-core included in the RHEL 9 AppStream repository

Today we're talking about How to install Ansible in RHEL 9.

The good news is that the Ansible Core package (ansible-core) is included out-of-the-box in the RHEL 9 AppStream repository.

No more additional repository (Ansible Engine or EPEL) like previous versions for basic automation.

However, for additional support for the underlying platform and Core-maintained modules is required the Ansible Automation Platform subscription.
