Many roles and variables have been renamed to reflect the product renaming from Tower to controller/AAP. Verify carefully your inventory variables and playbooks.
The previous OCP installation role has been suppressed due to the introduction of an operator. In addition to the current OCP installation role, further (community) automation for AAP on OCP is available from the GitOps catalogue.
This collection follows Semantic Versioning. More details on versioning can be found in the Ansible docs.
We plan to regularly release new minor or bugfix versions once new features or bugfixes have been implemented.
Releasing the current major version happens from the devel
branch.
