In this chapter, we are going to be looking at the two graphical interfaces for Ansible, the commercial Ansible Tower and the open source Ansible AWX. We will discuss how to install them, what the differences are, and also why you would need to use them. After all, we are now 15 chapters into our journey with Ansible and have yet to need to use a graphical interface.
By the end of this chapter, we will have:
- Installed Ansible Tower and Ansible AWX
- Configured both tools
- Deployed our highly available cloud application using Ansible Tower
