REAL-TIME JOB STATUS UPDATES

Within Ansible Tower, playbook runs stream by in real time. As Ansible automates across your infrastructure, you’ll see plays and tasks complete, broken down by each machine, and each success or failure, complete with output. Easily see the status of your automation, and what’s next in the queue. It gives visual way to analyse the status of playbook.

MULTI-PLAYBOOK WORKFLOWS

You can build a provisioning workflow that provisions machines, applies a base system configuration, and deploys an application, all with different playbooks maintained by different teams. You can build a CI/CD testing workflow that builds an application, deploys it to a test environment, runs tests, and automatically promotes the application based on test results. Set up different playbooks to run in case of success or failure of a prior workflow playbook.

INTEGRATED NOTIFICATIONS

Stay informed of your automation status via integrated notifications. Notify a person or team when your job succeeds, or escalate when jobs fail. Send notifications across your entire organization at once, or customize on a per-job basis.

Connect your notifications to Slack, Hipchat, PagerDuty, SMS, email, and more — or post notifications to a custom webhook to trigger other tools in your infrastructure.

SCALE CAPACITY WITH TOWER CLUSTERS

Connect multiple Ansible Tower nodes into a Ansible Tower cluster. Ansible Tower clusters add redundancy and capacity, allowing you to scale Ansible automation across your enterprise, including with reserved capacity for certain teams and jobs, and remote execution for access across network zones.
