Automation execution environments dramatically simplify how automation is executed and managed. An automation execution environment is a container image used to execute Ansible playbooks and roles. It provides a defined, consistent, portable environment for executing automation.

Execution environments also provide a common language for communicating automation dependencies between automation creators, architects, and platform administrators. Ansible Automation Platform also includes access to Ansible content tools, which are apps designed to make it easier to build and manage execution environments.

Automation execution environments are the replacement for Ansible Engine.
