Answer from AI
In Ansible Tower/AWX, jobs can be run in several ways:
- Via the web interface — manually launching Job Templates.
- On a schedule (Schedules) — creating schedules for automatic job execution at specific times.
- Via API — using the REST API for programmatic job launching, which allows integration of Tower with external systems.
- Via Workflow Templates — running chains of jobs where one triggers the next.
- Via notifications (Notifications) — setting up triggers for events that launch jobs.
Example of launching a job via API (curl):
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>" \
https://<tower_url>/api/v2/job_templates/<job_template_id>/launch/
Thus, it is possible to flexibly integrate and automate job launches in Ansible Tower/AWX.
