Installing Ansible Tower

Ansible Tower is a licensed tool. However, it can be used to manage, at most, 10 servers using a free license. The Tower setup can be downloaded from Ansible's official website (https://www.ansible.com/products/tower). Once the compressed tar archive is obtained, then we can install Ansible Tower. It should not come as surprise that we have to use Ansible for installing Ansible Tower.

Another point to note is that Ansible Tower is only supported for the following operating systems:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 64-bit
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 64-bit
CentOS 6 64-bit
CentOS 7 64-bit
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit

More detailed requirements can be found inside Ansible Tower's documentation (http://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/2.4.0/html/quickinstall/prepare.html#primary-requirements).

Patawari

Aditya Patawari is a Systems Engineer by profession, and just loves to play around with Linux and other open source technologies. He works on various parts of system lifecycles, and handles infrastructure automation and scaling of applications. He is also a contributor at Fedora project, and can be heard talking about the same along with the Linux systems automation at several conferences and events. He has worked on Ansible both at BrowserStack.com where he leads a team of systems engineers and at Fedora Project. I would like to thank my family with being patient with me. I would also appreciate my colleagues at BrowserStack for their support and my fellow contributors at Fedora Project who taught me so much. Lastly, a big thanks to all my friends for being there for me when I just could not manage it all.
