Installing Red Hat Ansible Tower
We cannot provide a description for this page right now
Ansible Tower vs. AWX vs. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
AWX is the free version, so you get what you pay for. Ansible Tower from Red Hat is retired. It is now called Ansible Automation Platform. You get an Ansible Controller, which is basically what Tower was, and a lot of other things in the platform, like Automation Hub, Event Driven Ansible. If you use a lot of Ansible you get a lot of bang for your buck. I'd check RH's youtube channel for lots of demos and examples More on reddit.com

November 5, 2022Ansible Tower - Best method of using PowerShell Scripts in Playbooks?
I was in your position about 3 years ago now. I would generally suggest that you try to prefer to use ansible modules over raw powershell when you can - simply because the ansible win_ modules are ALREADY built with powershell in the back-end. For example - if you go to the help page for any win_ module ( say win_acl for instance ) you can click the "repository (sources)" button at the bottom and look at the powershell that module uses. aka - don't re-invent the wheel if you dont need to. e.g. if you have to change an acl then change a windows service - dont write that using powershell first - use win_acl play followed by a win_service play. if you are struggling getting a module to do what you need it to you can choose to then move down to using a powershell script and call it using win_powershell - and that module can handle large scripts like you mention. also PS> 'ansible tower' is more a wrapper/orchestration agent for running just raw 'ansible'. My team (a bunch of windows admins) found it easier to understand ansible by avoiding ansible tower until we all fully understood how to just use ansible by itself first. spin up a linux box or a WSL2 instance and start running your ansible and inventories from there (put them in a git/ADO repo ASAP if you havent yet) More on reddit.com

r/ansible on Reddit: Ansible Tower vs. AWX vs. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
March 20, 2024 -
non-expert here... So far I always used vanilla Ansible from a Git repo in a small infra (~100 VMs).
I'm trying to figure out if any of the above would be an improvement worth the investment. That is: in terms of effort; cost of subscription is a lesser issue. Are these just (re-)branded versions of the same open source product, or is there a clear winner? Just commercial support for the same product is not really a concern.
I'm also wondering if/how Tower/AWX/AAP would really be a significantly better way to manage a small-ish infra. Please educate me :-) Thank you!
Updates:
-
any recommendations of the many hits on YT? (Red Hat or otherwise)
-
a few nice tidbits I learned from the responses below:
-
AWX is the upstream open source project of AAP
-
AAP components: Ansible Controller (basically Tower), Hub (on-premise Galaxy and container registry)
-
Execution Environments

I will say that Automation Platform has some nice bells and whistles built into it, like credential storage, surveys, and scheduling. I will also say that it is complex as all get out. We have it but admittedly don't use it for a lot, partially because of license costs. Pretty much every time we patch the OS, something special has to be done for AAP, different from "regular" OS patching. I find adding things from Galaxy to be cumbersome and difficult, but I also don't do it often enough for it to be familiar. All in all, I don't find it worth the licensing fees, but if you use Ansible significantly enough it might be.

Ansible open sources Ansible Tower with AWX - Jeff Geerling
September 7, 2017 - Tower also supports a lot more flexible authentication and role-based playbook permissions model which makes it a perfect fit for team-based playbook management. To be clear though, Ansible Tower itself will still be a licensed product offering from Red Hat, but the code that builds Ansible Tower releases is open sourced, and is available in the AWX Project.

January 27, 2026 - There are a few differences between using command-line Ansible for syncing with Ansible Galaxy or the Automation Hub versus using Ansible Tower. However, it is really easy and I will show you how! If the Ansible Collections are included in your project you do not need to authenticate to Automation Hub. This method is where you are downloading dynamically using a requirements file.
