What is AWX?
The AWX Project is the upstream open source project for Ansible Automation Controller and provides a REST API enabled web-based user interface for scheduling and running Ansible Playbooks. Role-based access allows administrators to grant users permissions to view, execute and/or modify templates that define how a playbook is ran. AWX can be used as part of a workflow to automatically complete a defined set of tasks, or even allow non-technical users to launch jobs in a user-friendly manner.

What is Ansible?
Ansible is a powerful, flexible, agentless automation tool that is quickly becoming the de-facto standard in IT Automation and beyond. The relative simplicity and commitment to open source has greatly contributed to it’s popularity. It works by interpreting instructions in the form of Playbooks that are written in human readable YAML (Yet Another Markup Language).
What is a Playbook?
A playbook is essentially a human readable set of instructions, written in YAML, that tells Ansible what it needs to do. Those instructions are grouped into tasks that run on a user specified set of hosts until they complete or fail. Each task consists of a module that is well documented, this is at the core of how repetitive tasks and workflows are automated.
