Watch: Introducing the New Ansible Galaxy

A Quantum Leap in Ansible Automation: The New Galaxy Unveiled on 30th September 2023.

Introduction

In the world of automation and orchestration, Ansible has long been a frontrunner, simplifying complex tasks and empowering users with streamlined solutions. At the heart of Ansible’s ecosystem lies Ansible Galaxy, a repository of roles and collections that accelerate automation development. And now, the Ansible Galaxy experience is about to get a significant upgrade.

Over the past few months, the dedicated Red Hat Ansible team responsible for the Ansible Automation Hub and Ansible Cloud Automation Hub, accessible via [console.redhat.com](https://console.redhat.com/), has embarked on a mission to elevate the galaxy_ng code base. This code base powers the components mentioned above and is designed to replace [galaxy.ansible.com](https://galaxy.ansible.com/) with a brand-new, cutting-edge foundation.

The Vision Behind Galaxy_ng

From its inception, galaxy_ng was conceived with the ambitious goal of supplanting the aging galaxy.ansible.com while simultaneously serving as the core code base for the Automation Hub component within the Ansible Automation Platform. This bold vision has driven the team to work relentlessly on enhancing the capabilities of galaxy_ng, making it a robust and dynamic platform for Ansible users.

Beta available

The enhanced galaxy is already accessible at [beta-galaxy.ansible.com](http://beta-galaxy.ansible.com/), where the team has meticulously synchronized the data to ensure it remains up-to-date and ready for users to explore.

Transitioning to the Future

The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here. We are thrilled to announce that we will be transitioning [galaxy.ansible.com](https://galaxy.ansible.com/) to this new codebase on September 30th, marking a significant step forward in the evolution of the Ansible Galaxy. Our commitment to delivering the next generation of Galaxy services on this unified codebase remains unwavering.

The transition process is straightforward for users who access Ansible Galaxy through the ansible-galaxy CLI or the new v3 API. Regenerate your access token, and immediately log in to [beta-galaxy.ansible.com](http://beta-galaxy.ansible.com/), where a world of automation possibilities awaits.

After the transition, the previous site will remain accessible at [old-galaxy.ansible.com](http://old-galaxy.ansible.com), serving as a read-only instance for reference and historical purposes.
