How to install Ansible in RHEL 9.2

  • The Ansible Core package ansible-core included in the RHEL 9.2 AppStream repository

Today we're talking about How to install Ansible in RHEL 9.2.

The good news is that the Ansible Core package (ansible-core) is included out-of-the-box in the RHEL 9.2 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.
