Welcome to the source for Ansible Automation Platform technical content.
This repository contains technical content synchronized from various repositories and then converted into asciidoc.
This repository also contains content from the former AAP repository in the RedHatInsights org: https://github.com/RedHatInsights/red-hat-ansible-automation-platform-documentation
We welcome contributions to the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform documentation. You can either open an issue for discussion, or submit an update using the steps below. This section describes the workflow and provides resources for Red Hat style and documentation architecture conventions.
Documentation follows a modular-based content model, providing a structure for writing and presenting user-story-based documentation. User-story-based documentation attempts to address the reader’s needs more than focusing on feature-based documentation. This is accomplished using a set of templates for concepts, references, procedures and assemblies. Templates can be found here.
