+== Federated Edge Observability
+
+=== Background
+
+Organizations are interested in accelerating their deployment speeds and improving delivery quality in their Edge environments, where many devices may not fully or even partially embrace the GitOps philosophy.
+Further, there are VMs and other devices that can and should be managed with Ansible. This pattern explores some of the possibilities of using an OpenShift-based Ansible Automated Platform deployment and managing Edge devices, based on work done with a partner in the Chemical space.
+
+This pattern uses OpenShift Virtualization to simulate the Edge environment for VMs.
+
+==== Solution elements
+
+* How to use a GitOps approach to manage virtual machines, either in public clouds (limited to AWS for technical reasons) or on-prem OpenShift installations
+* How to integrate AAP into OpenShift
+* How to manage Edge devices using AAP hosted in OpenShift
+
+==== Red Hat Technologies
+
+* Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (Kubernetes)
+* Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (formerly known as "`Ansible Tower`")
+* Red Hat OpenShift GitOps (ArgoCD)
+* OpenShift Virtualization (Kubevirt)
+* Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
+
+==== Other Technologies this Pattern Uses
+
+* Hashicorp Vault
+* External Secrets Operator
+* OpenTelemetry
+* Grafana
+* Mimir
+
+=== Architecture
+
+Similar to other patterns, this pattern starts with a central management hub, which hosts the AAP and Vault components, and the observability
+collection and visualization components.

+== Logging in to the Ansible Automation Platform
+
+The default login user for the AAP interface is `admin`, and the password is randomly generated during installation. This password is required to access the interface.
+However, logging into the interface is not necessary, as the pattern automatically configures the AAP instance. The pattern retrieves the password by using the same method as the `ansible_get_credentials.sh` script (described below).
+
+If you need to inspect the AAP instance or change its configuration, there are two ways to log in. Both methods give access to the same instance using the same password.

+=== Logging in using a secret retrieved from the OpenShift Console
+
+Follow these steps to log in to the Ansible Automation Platform using the OpenShift console:
+
+. In the OpenShift console, go to *Workloads* > *Secrets* and select the `ansible-automation-platform` project if you want to limit the number of secrets you can see.
++
+.AAP secret
+image::/images/federated-edge-observability/ocp-console-secrets-aap-admin-password.png[federated-edge-observability-operators,title="AAP secret"]
+
+.. Select the `aap-admin-password`. 
+
+.. In the Data field click *Reveal values* to display the password. 
++
+.AAP secret detail
+image::/images/federated-edge-observability/ocp-console-aap-admin-password-detail.png[federated-edge-observability-operators,title="AAP secret details"]
+
+. Under *Networking* > *Routes*, click the URL for the `aap` route to open the Ansible Automation Platform interface. 
+
+.. Log in using the `admin` user and the password you retrieved from the `aap-admin-password` secret. The following image shows the screen that appears after logging in.

+
+[id="logging-in-using-secret-retrieved-using-script-ansible_get_credentials"]
+=== Logging in using a secret retrieved with ansible_get_credentials.sh
+
+Follow this procedure to log in to the Ansible Automation Platform using the `ansible_get_credentials.sh` script:
+
+. From the top-level pattern directory (ensuring you have set `KUBECONFIG`), run the following command:
++
+[source,terminal]
+----
+$ ./pattern.sh ./scripts/ansible_get_credentials.sh
+----
++
+This script retrieves the URL for your Ansible Automation Platform instance and the password for its `admin` user. The password is auto-generated by the AAP operator by default. The output of the command looks like this (your password will be different):
