ansible/awx
AWX provides a web-based user interface, REST API, and task engine built on top of Ansible. It is one of the upstream projects for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.
What it does
AWX is an open-source tool that gives teams a visual dashboard and control center for automating repetitive IT tasks — like deploying software, configuring servers, or managing cloud resources — without having to run commands manually. It acts as the free, community-driven version of Red Hat's commercial automation product, letting organizations schedule, monitor, and manage these automated tasks from a single web interface.
Why it matters for PMs
AWX sits at the heart of a massive enterprise automation market, serving as the upstream proving ground for Red Hat's paid Ansible Automation Platform — meaning features tested here often become the commercial product, making it a strategic bellwether for where enterprise IT automation is heading. However, releases are currently paused due to a major architectural overhaul, which signals both risk for teams depending on it and an opportunity for competitors, while also suggesting the next version could significantly expand its capabilities and market reach.
