You can put it in the container instances (iirc) in awx. There is a setting to modify the pod spec

No. You don't. All automation  jobs run in an ee in awx 18+. So that's where you change it

Sorry I missed your message. All  container spec details are under administration --> instance groups ---> create container group. As your container spec details there

Hi Weiye,

My doubt is i want to have a execution env containers '/etc/hosts' file patched with a hostname and ip address mapping entries, as my github is outside the network and node DNS not able to resolve the name. Is there is anyway i can customize the ee container spec?
I am ready to create new execution env or i can patch the existing ee container.

Thanks & Regards,
Ankit Pandey

No, not able to do there, it creates new, projects are synced via EE, so that place doesn't help me as it creates new container everytime. Please show one example how we can do..

Kindly look at this link. It tells you how to modify the spec based on customising the volume mounts. Customise the pod spec for your needs
