+Custom AWX Execution Environment: NetBox support
+
+This folder contains a minimal Dockerfile and helper to create an AWX Execution
+Environment that includes the NetBox Ansible collection and pynetbox.
+
+Files:
+- Dockerfile - derived from quay.io/ansible/awx-ee:latest, installs pynetbox and netbox.netbox
+- build-and-load-ee.sh - builds the image and loads it into Minikube
+
+Usage:
+1. Build and load into minikube:
+
+   IMAGE_NAME=local/awx-ee-netbox:latest ./awx-local-setup/ee/build-and-load-ee.sh
+
+2. Register this Execution Environment in AWX (UI or awx-cli / API). Use the image
+   name you built (local/awx-ee-netbox:latest) as the Execution Environment image.
+
+3. Commit an inventory plugin file (example: inventory/netbox_inventory.yml) to
+   your project repository that uses the netbox.netbox.inventory plugin and
+   references the NetBox token and URL.
+
+4. Create an AWX inventory source of type `scm` pointing to the project and set
+   `source_path` to the plugin file created in step 3. Ensure the inventory
+   source uses the custom Execution Environment.
+
+Notes:
+- If your Minikube cluster uses a remote container runtime you may need to push
+  the built image to a registry reachable by the cluster and set IMAGE_NAME
+  accordingly.
+- For production, build and push to a private registry and configure AWX to
+  pull the image using pull secrets.
