Summary

That concludes our whistle-stop tour of AWX. In this chapter, we showed that AWX is straightforward to install and configure once you know the core four-step process involved. We also showed how to build on this process with features such as surveys, notifications, and workflows.

You learned that AWX is straightforward to install (in fact, it installs with Ansible!), and how to add SSL encryption to it. You then gained an understanding of how the platform works, and how to go from a fresh install to building out projects, inventories, credentials, and templates to run Ansible jobs. You learned that there are many additional features that build on this. These were covered in the final part of this chapter in order to help you build a robust enterprise management system for Ansible.

In the next chapter, we will return to the Ansible language and look at the benefits of the Jinja2 templating system.
