Ansible, despite being a powerful tool for DevOps is still command based which makes it difficult to manage and administer. AWX provides a web based centralized Ansible interface to harness the full power of Ansible.

The Techlatest Ansible AWX solution is a powerful cloud-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) designed to simplify and well organize the process of developing and deploying infrastructure automation with Ansible.

This VM is pre-configured for AWX (v24.6.1) which provides web based Ansible interface and is the upstream project from which the Red Hat Ansible Tower offering is ultimately derived.

With this solution, you will get all the benefits of Ansible AWX/Tower without spending on its licensing cost.
