1. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform controller Licensing, Updates, and Support

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform controller ("Automation Controller") is a software product provided as part of an annual Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform subscription entered into between you and Red Hat, Inc. ("Red Hat").

Ansible 是一个开源软件项目，它使用 GNU General Public License version 3 的使用许可证。详细信息包括在 Ansible 源代码中：https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/COPYING

You must have valid subscriptions attached before installing the Ansible Automation Platform. See 附加订阅 for detail.

1.4. 许可证中的节点计数

The Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform controller license defines the number of Managed Nodes that can be managed as part of a Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform subscription. A typical license will say ‘License Count: 500’, which sets the maximum number of Managed Nodes at 500.

更多相关信息，请参阅 https://access.redhat.com/articles/3331481。

1.5. 附加订阅

You must have valid subscriptions attached before installing the Ansible Automation Platform. Attaching an Ansible Automation Platform subscription enables Automation Hub repositories. A valid subscription needs to be attached to the Automation Hub node only. Other nodes do not need to have a valid subscription/pool attached, even if the [automationhub] group is blank, given this is done at the repos_el role level and that this role is run on both [default] and [automationhub] hosts.

要获得您的 Ansible Automation Platform 订阅的 pool_id：

#subscription-manager list --available --all | grep "Ansible Automation Platform" -B 3 -A 6

该命令返回以下内容：

Subscription Name: Red Hat Ansible Automation, Premium (5000 Managed Nodes)
Provides: Red Hat Ansible Engine
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
SKU: MCT3695
Contract: ********
Pool ID: ********************
Provides Management: No
Available: 4999
Suggested: 1

附加此订阅：

#subscription-manager attach --pool=<pool_id>

如果正确完成此操作，并且所有节点都附加了 Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform，则可以正确地找到 Automation Hub 仓库。

检查订阅是否已成功附加：

#subscription-manager list --consumed

删除此订阅：

#subscription-manager remove --pool=<pool_id>
