Execution Environments are container images which consist of everything necessary to run a playbook within AWX, and which drive the entire management and lifecycle of playbook execution runtime in AWX: https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/5157. This means that going forward, AWX no longer utilizes the [bubblewrap](https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap) project for playbook isolation, but instead utilizes a container per playbook run.
Much like custom virtualenvs, custom Execution Environments can be crafted to specify additional Python or system-level dependencies. Ansible Builder outputs images you can upload to your registry which can *then* be defined in AWX and utilized for playbook runs.
