What is the difference between ansibe 2.5.2-1.el7 and 2.5.2-1.el7ae

Latest response

Hello,

On my machine I found two ansible packages from two different repositories:

Installed Packages
ansible.noarch                        2.5.2-1.el7                          @epel                         
Available Packages
ansible.noarch                        2.5.2-1.el7ae                        rhel-7-server-ansible-2.5-rpms

What does the 'ae' at the end of the version from rhel-server-ansible-2.5-rpms mean? From running a yum info ansible I still cannot tell the difference.

As I could see the version with 'ae' is a lot smaller than the one without this appendix. Does this simply mean that the ansible engine is shipped with fewer modules than the version from epel? But otherwise they are the same?
