AWX AND ANSIBLE TOWER / AUTOMATION PLATFORM - COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW TO RUN YOUR FIRST JOB!

Step by step walkthrough of how to configure your first project and job to successfully run a playbook using AWX. All of these configurations work on Ansible Tower / Automation Platform as well thanks to AWX being the upstream offering of them. This will NOT teach you how to deploy AWX.

How I deploy AWX fast using terraform, EKS, and a helm:

Well done. Logical walk through. The small errors made it even better, it helped me see the steps that were going on.

Excellent video you took me from lost to dangerous in a very short time. Keep up the good work

Great video! My new devops project involves ansible, really comprehensive explanation! I like the fact you did not cut the video when there were failed execution of playbooks!

[Rhalt]

Thanks, immediately answered every question I had in my head.

Great video ❤, just one small thing… “motd” stands for “message of the day”, not “mode of the day”.

[shyamakrishna]

Great video .. well explained about each component .. Thank you

[juanzepeda]

Thx a lot for your efficiency in this tutorial. Kudos !

I have installed AWX 3 times, edited "env" for root project path, reloaded pod and I still cannot get ANY of my playbooks to show in AWX from What in the hell am I missing on Ubuntu?

Good video. On the next one, please increase the text size in your browser as at times things were almost entirely illegible at this resolution.

Thanks for the video. I access my hosts using a SSH Key, each host has a different SSH Key, but in AWX templates I can only select a single credential, is there a work around for this?

[kaustubhdhavale]

Thanks for the tutorial. It was really helpful!

[Lines-In-The-Sand]

Really great, informative video. Thank you.

[chrismbah]

Bro thanks so much the knowledge is amazing

[UrsRau]

Thanks, this is very well done. Watched quite a few of these AWX or Tower clips already but your's made it all come together real quickly. Very well structured. Thanks. Next beginner question is, can I 'easily' import an already deployed ansibkle setup that is on a vm in it's filesystem, i.e. not in a git repo as such?

Hi Tracy, It's really a good stuff. But i am following same steps i got the same issue like the source control credentials for git is not available. What you done to get that credentials.

Hi, I have a question, would be happy if you can answer. I'm running Awx playbook to manage windows hosts, but I need to run the playbook with admin role. How can I run the playbook without providing AWX the Administrator account infor( just enable admin role for my user account) ?

[Motivize-tv]

Greate video thanks. Can you make a specific video to Automate rds database ( oracle ms sql ) backup to s3 bucket?

[MarsTheProgrammer]

no matter what i do the projects all fail to sync. Even the default git project there is in failed state. The error is EE credential is too weak...

[sharanyavaish]

Hi i have a question, when elevating user privilege, On server, did you make root password less when normal user tries to switch to root user ?

[sahilgulati]

Thanks this is a good video but only issue I see is your voice is low when I am on mac inbuilt speaker, rest its a good video to get started with awx
