Possibility to reuse official AWX installer ? #17

Closed aelbarkani closed 4 years ago

Hi @geerlingguy,

Thank you very much for this work. I have a question regarding the Ansible roles you are using. Did you assess the pros and cons of reusing the official AWX roles in your operator ? https://github.com/ansible/awx/tree/devel/installer

@aelbarkani - Yes, I spent a bit of time churning through all that code (and looking at the Tower installer for OpenShift), and it adds a lot of complexity that this operator currently doesn't want to support.

However, long-term, my idea would be to use a shared role for the Kubernetes deployment of AWX and Tower (and this Tower/AWX Operator) so the installation can be completely standardized.

Unfortunately, it will likely require a bit of complexity beyond what this operator is currently doing, since there are a lot of different security policies the official installer has to account for that I'm conveniently ignoring for more vanilla Kubernetes deployments :)

The issue to follow for this, though, is: https://github.com/geerlingguy/tower-operator/issues/11
