It is one of the upstream projects for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, and its code is developed in the open on GitHub. What it offers - A web UI for managing and running Ansible-based automation. - A REST API for programmatic access to the same capabilities. - A task engine that executes Ansible playbooks and related jobs. Project status A caution notice in the README states that the last release was published on Jul 2, 2024, and that releases are paused during a large-scale refactoring. The README points readers to the Ansible Forum and several linked communications for details, including posts about streamlining AWX releases, refactoring AWX into a pluggable service-oriented architecture, upcoming changes to AWX Operator installation methods, and the transition of the AWX UI and credential types to the new pluggable architecture. Getting started - Installation instructions are provided in the repository's INSTALL.md. - Usage documentation is available on the AWX docs site. - A project FAQ is linked from the README.
