Ansible Automation Platform based on OpenShift
summary
Ansible Automation Platform 2.3 runs as a service on OpenShift using the official AAP operator plus an internal Ansible-based customization operator that bootstraps in under 10 minutes and injects license, LDAP, logging and defaults. Execution environments are built with Ansible-builder against a Private Automation Hub and mirrored UBI/Py repos; secrets come from HashiCorp Vault. Monitoring uses Prometheus/Grafana and an auditor user; backups are written to a PVC and restore via an automation controller restore CR. Known issues: Galaxy 2.14.5 fixed; emptyDir can fill node storage.
