AWX Ansible Automation on Azure

AWX is an open-source IT automation platform that provides a web-based user interface and API for managing and executing Ansible playbooks at scale. This Azure Marketplace image delivers a fully configured AWX deployment on Ubuntu 24.04, allowing organisations to adopt Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices without the operational overhead of manual installation and platform setup.

Designed for DevOps engineers, cloud administrators, and IT operations teams, AWX adds governance and visibility to Ansible automation through role-based access control, credential management, job scheduling, and detailed execution auditing. These capabilities help organisations standardise automation, reduce human error, and maintain compliance across cloud and hybrid environments.
