Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2 is the next generation automation platform from Red Hat’s trusted enterprise technology experts. In the previous https://www.ansible.com/blog/performance-improvements-in-automation-controller-4.1, we saw that automation controller 4.1 provides significant performance improvements as compared to Red Hat Ansible Tower 3.8.
We will elaborate on an important change with callback receiver workers in automation controller 4.3 and how it can have an impact on the performance.
Prior to automation controller 4.3, by default each callback receiver had four workers to process job events regardless of the size of the control node.
Now, in automation controller 4.3, vertically scaling control nodes not only increases capacity to run jobs (which generate events), it proportionally scales the number of callback receiver workers to better handle the output from those jobs and to utilize host resources available to automation controller.
