Procedure
- Log in to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
- Navigate to Operators → OperatorHub.
- Search for the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform operator and click Install.
Select an Update Channel:
- stable-2.x: installs a namespace-scoped operator, which limits deployments of automation hub and automation controller instances to the namespace the operator is installed in. This is suitable for most cases. The stable-2.x channel does not require administrator privileges and utilizes fewer resources because it only monitors a single namespace.
- stable-2.x-cluster-scoped: deploys automation hub and automation controller across multiple namespaces in the cluster and requires administrator privileges for all namespaces in the cluster.
- Select Installation Mode, Installed Namespace, and Approval Strategy.
- Click Install.
The installation process will begin. When installation is complete, a modal will appear notifying you that the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform operator is installed in the specified namespace.
- Click View Operator to view your newly installed Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform operator.
