What is Ansible AWX?
AWX is the Open Source upstream project of the Ansible Automation Controller, part of the Ansible Automation Platform (formerly Ansible Tower). It’s great to look at AWX to discover new features of the Automation Controller, but it has a different release cycle and support. I’m Luca Berton and welcome to today’s episode of Ansible Pilot.
