how to install ansible on rhel 8 /centos 8?

I want to install ansible in RHEL 8 Centos.
To use yum install ansible i must enable epel release but i can’t find a best source of epel release for Rhel 8.

I tried this

sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

sudo yum install ansible

The output i got is

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

    EPEL8 is not released yet. There are some packages available, but a lot are still being worked on and the repo is not considered “generally available”.

    For now, you can install Ansible from the Python Package Index (PyPI):

    yum install python3-pip
pip3 install ansible

    If you are using RHEL 8 then you can use the subscription manager to get Ansible with the host and config file pre-built.

    Also, you will need to create an account on https://developers.redhat.com before you can do this:

    subscription-manager register --auto-attach

subscription-manager repos --enable ansible-2.8-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms

yum -y install ansible

ansible --version
