Automation mesh
Automation mesh is an overlay network that simplifies scaling and distributing execution capacity across a large and dispersed collection of nodes, bringing automation closer to the endpoints that need it. Automation mesh enables independent scaling of control and execution plane capacity, flexible and fault-tolerant design options, with resilience to high latency and connection disruptions.

Ansible Content Collections
An Ansible Content Collection, or “collection,” is a format for organizing content independent of the main github.com/ansible/ansible development branch. In simple terms: it’s a directory structure and the complementary tooling within Ansible Automation Platform to use content from that structure. This new structure accommodates multiple types of content, such as modules, plugins, roles, and others, in a singular portable format.
An Ansible Automation Platform subscription provides access to more than 100 certified content collections comprised of over 40,000 modules curated for consistent, compliant delivery. These collections are available through the automation hub.
Automation hub Private .
Automation hub provides a place for Ansible Automation Platform subscribers to quickly find and use content that is supported by Red Hat and our technology partners, delivering additional reassurance for the most demanding environments. Automation hub is available as both a hosted service and privately on-premise—customers can sync certified Ansible content repositories to an on-premise private automation hub or download directly from console.redhat.com.??
Automation hub:
Execution environments are container images, so to use them in production, you’ll need a container registry. We’ve enhanced the private automation hub to host container images so it can host execution environments for customers who have not yet moved to container-native development and are not currently using a platform, such as Red Hat OpenShift.
