Current Ansible Tower customers can add an Ansible Engine subscription to their Ansible Tower subscriptions at any time to get support for the underlying Ansible automation that powers Ansible Tower.
 
Red Hat Ansible Tower 3.2 is also the first version based on the open source AWX project, a new open source community project sponsored by Red Hat that allows users to interact directly and add features and capabilities to help drive innovation in Ansible Tower.
