Using Ansible on RHEL8 hosts from Red Hat Satellite 6.6 and above
Issue
- The manual doesn't explain how Satellite can run Ansible jobs remotely without having the normal Python interpreter installed on the managed host, or how the customer can change the Python interpreter used.
- There is a security implication in that a customer who isn't aware of the exact situation might mistakenly install Python on all their machines even though they don't need to.
Environment
- Red Hat Satellite 6.6 and above.
- Ansible 2.8 and above.
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.x, 9.x or 10.x as target host
