Create redirects for AWX/Controller docs

[samccann]

There are two efforts currently happening on the AWX and controller docs: 1 - Converting existing controller docs on docs.ansible.com to AWX docs 2 - Red Hat is converting those same docs to access.redhat.com to make it more obvious they are official product documentation for the Ansible controller.

Once these efforts complete, we need to put in redirects so those looking for AWX docs can find them in their new home, and those looking for Ansible Controller docs can find them in their new home.

The current plan is to

• [ ] redirect automation-controller/latest to access.redhat.com when all docs are published at that location.
• [ ] Update docs.ansible.com/platform.html so readers get directed to either access.redhat.com (for Ansible controller) or AWX docs, or the controller archive (for older docs) and translated docs.

@oraNod - to clarify all older controller docs as well as all translations stay on docs.ansible.com right?

[samccann]

oh and the CLI/API docs that aren't currently getting converted to access.redhat.com

[oraNod]

@samccann Yes, all the 4.4 and earlier controller docs + translations will remain on docs.ansible.com. We'll prune anything that is EOL though and keep only supported versions linked.

When I say linked I mean there will be a link to a given supported html page on the web server. The EOL pages will still be available on the web server, just not linked from docs.ansible.com.

The generated API reference will also be available for 4.4 and previous supported version. For anything 4.5+ I guess there will be no downstream equivalent until the publishing toolchain can handle that. But the downstream docs can always point to the AWX docs in community.

[samccann]

Just to be sure I'm understanding you wrt the API reference:

• 4.5 (and all future versions) will appear as AWX API reference only (nothing after 4.4 will say Ansible Controller)
• Downstream documentation will point to this AWX API reference as needed (until there is an internal toolchain support for it to appear on access.redhat.com)

I'll doublecheck whether downstream is converting the CLI guide as well.

[oraNod]

@samccann I think it's more precise to say there will be no 4.5 doc versions in community or on "docs.ansible.com". There will only be AWX latest docs and whatever that downstream team have got.

Can you clarify what you mean by CLI guide please? That's not one that I'm aware of.

[samccann]

@oraNod I was basically looking at the list of controller docs at https://docs.ansible.com/platform.html which lists a CLI guide which is not on the short-list for conversion to access.redhat.com.

And trying to figure out if anything stays as 'controller' for 4.5 (aka what will be latest).

As a second question - when there is a 4.6 for AWX, will there be a 4.5 and a latest version? or are we going to a model of providing only latest docs for AWX?

[oraNod]

Oh yeah, that CLI guide. TBH I think we need to organize something with @tvo318 when she returns from PTO.

Only latest docs for AWX.
