Mesh Ingress
The mesh ingress allows users to peer external execution and hop nodes into the AWX control plane. This guide focuses on how to enable and configure the mesh ingress. For more information about remote execution and hop nodes and how to create them, refer to the Managing Capacity With Instances chapter of the AWX Administration Guide.
Prerequisites
- AWX operator version > 2.11.0
- AWX > 23.8.0
Deploy and configure AWXMeshIngress
On Red Hat OpenShift with operator managed Route
To deploy an mesh ingress on OpenShift create the AWXMeshIngress resource.
Example:
---
apiVersion: awx.ansible.com/v1alpha1
kind: AWXMeshIngress
metadata:
name: <mesh ingress name>
spec:
deployment_name: <awx instance name>

Deploy and configure AWXMeshIngress via IngressRouteTCP

Validating setup of Mesh Ingress
After AWXMeshIngress has been successfully created a new Instance with the same name will show up in AWX Instance UI
The Instance should have at least 2 listener addresses.
In this example, the mesh ingress has two listener addresses:
- one for internal, that is used for peering to by all control nodes (top)
- one for external, that is exposed to a route so external execution nodes can peer into it (bottom))
When selecting peer for new instance the mesh ingress instance should now be present as a option.

For more information about how to create external remote execution and hop node and configuring the mesh. See AWX Documentation on Add a instance.

items is the list of Ingress.
-
apiVersion (string)
APIVersion defines the versioned schema of this representation of an object. Servers should convert recognized schemas to the latest internal value, and may reject unrecognized values. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#resources
