Questions tagged [ansible-tower]

Use for questions about programming issues related to the Ansible Tower REST API. Questions about using the Ansible Tower GUI for managing both cloud-based and traditional/hybrid Ansible deployments should be asked on ServerFault.com.

Ansible Tower (formerly ‘AWX’) is a web-based solution that makes Ansible even more easy to use for IT teams of all kinds. It’s designed to be the hub for all of your automation tasks.

Tower allows you to control access to who can access what, even allowing sharing of SSH credentials without someone being able to transfer those credentials. Inventory can be graphically managed or synced with a wide variety of cloud sources. It logs all of your jobs, integrates well with LDAP, and has an amazing browsable REST API. Command line tools are available for easy integration with Jenkins as well. Provisioning callbacks provide great support for autoscaling topologies.

Questions about using the Ansible Tower GUI for managing both cloud-based and traditional/hybrid Ansible deployments should be asked on ServerFault.com.
