Understanding AWX job templates

In AWX, we have the concept of a job template, which is basically a wrapper around a playbook.

To manage the job templates, you have to go to the Templates section from the left menu, and you'll find something like the following:

Looking at the table containing the job templates, we will find the following things:

• The job template name
• The template type (AWX supports also workflow templates, which are templates for groups of job templates)
• The rocket button
• The duplicate button
• The delete button

By clicking the rocket button, we can execute it. Doing so will automatically bring you into a different view, which we will discover in the next section.
