20+ practice questions focused on Deploy Ansible Automation Platform — one of the most tested topics on the Red Hat Certified Engineer EX294 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Deploy Ansible Automation Platform PracticeA DevOps engineer is troubleshooting an Ansible Automation Platform deployment where ansible-navigator fails to run a playbook, showing the error 'Error: Unable to pull execution environment image'. The ansible-navigator configuration file is shown in the exhibit. Which change should the engineer make to resolve the issue?
Explanation: The error 'Unable to pull execution environment image' indicates that the image specified in the ansible-navigator configuration cannot be retrieved from the registry. Setting the 'pull policy' to 'always' forces ansible-navigator to attempt a fresh pull of the execution environment image every time, which can resolve transient network issues, authentication problems, or stale local image caches that cause the pull to fail when the policy is 'missing'.
A systems administrator is deploying Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 using the provided setup script. The installation fails with the error shown in the exhibit. Based on the exhibit, what is the most likely cause of the failure?
Explanation: The error exhibit indicates that the installer cannot connect to the PostgreSQL database. The most common cause of this failure is that the PostgreSQL service is not running on the database server, preventing the Ansible Automation Platform setup script from establishing a connection. Without the database service active, the installer cannot proceed with the deployment.
You are deploying Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform in a restricted network environment where the automation controller, automation hub, and execution nodes cannot access the internet. You have successfully installed the automation controller and automation hub on separate RHEL 8 servers using a local repository. The automation hub is configured to sync collections from a local mirror. After deployment, you attempt to create a new job template that uses a collection from automation hub, but the job template creation fails with the error: 'Failed to find collection' for a collection that exists in automation hub. The execution nodes are subscribed to the same local repository. The automation controller is configured with the automation hub as the default collections server. What is the most likely cause?
Explanation: The automation controller must be explicitly configured to use the local automation hub as the default collections server. If it defaults to cloud.redhat.com, the controller will attempt to download collections from the internet, which fails in a restricted network environment. The error 'Failed to find collection' indicates the controller cannot reach the configured collections server, not that the collection is missing from the local hub.
Drag and drop the steps to configure an Ansible control node for managing remote hosts into the correct order.
Explanation: Ansible requires installation, inventory definition, SSH key-based authentication, and connectivity verification before managing hosts.
A job template consistently fails with 'Authentication failed' for a managed host. The admin has verified that the username/password in the credential is correct and that the host is reachable. What is the most likely remaining cause?
Explanation: The most likely remaining cause is that the credential is not linked to the job template. Even if the credential contains correct authentication data, the job template will not use it unless the credential is explicitly associated. Without this link, Ansible Tower/AWX cannot authenticate to the managed host, resulting in an 'Authentication failed' error.
