Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2 introduced major architectural changes, like automation mesh and automation execution environments, that help extend Ansible automation across your organization in a flexible manner, providing a single solution to all your organizational and hybrid cloud automation needs. Ansible Automation Platform also includes a command-line tool called ansible-builder(execution environment builder)that lets you create automation execution environments by specifying Ansible Content Collections and Python dependencies.

Whether you are an Ansible Automation Platform customer or a community user of ansible-builder, you can use UBI images as base images or the CentOS images for your automation execution environments based on the package or by passing a different set of base images to your automation execution environment specification file. Continuing from the previous section that introduce the upstream and downstream base images for ansible-builder, there are two arguments that specify which images to use: The EE_BASE_IMAGE build argument specifies the parent image for the automation execution environment.
