It's not available to everyone. It's a paid add-on. My understanding is that EPEL
avoids conflicting only with the BaseOS, AppStream, and CodeReady Linux Builder
repositories.
c.f., ansible, which is more widely available than HA, but also carried in EPEL.
One addendum to this: EPEL 8 *may* provide conflicting content in
non-default module streams (since enabling these is always opt-in).
