The Future of Ansible and Ansible Tower

CapitalOne and Red Hat have offered to sponsor this event! They will provide finger foods and beer + wine.

Chris Houseknecht from Ansible/Red Hat has offered to come and expand on the big changes coming for Ansible and Ansible Tower.

In case you missed the announcement, from the recent AnsibleFest in SFC...

You know Red Hat's business model of funding an open-source community project that feeds into a commercial and supported product, like with Fedora and RHEL?

Red Hat has done the same with Ansible and Ansible Tower. So now we have the familiar open-source Ansible core, plus the new enterprise Ansible Engine:

And the familiar enterprise Ansible Tower, plus the new open-source AWX Project:
