    Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing     IT automation at scale. IT Managers can provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to     individual teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that leverage existing     knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation Platform makes it possible for users across an     organization to share, vet, and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless     language.

    This RHUI update fixes the following bugs:

    * The rhui-installer failed on RHEL 8.10 Beta due to the use of distutils. This has been addressed by     updating to a newer version of ansible-collection-community-crypto which does not use the distutils.

    This RHUI update introduces the following enhancements:

    * A native Ansible module is now used to update the packages on the RHUA server when the RHUI installer is     run for the first time or rerun at any time. This update can be prevented by using the --ignore-newer-     rhel-packages flag on the rhui-installer command line.

    * PulpCore has been updated to version 3.39.
