Ansible Tower Endpoint Target

Ansible Tower (formerly AWX) allows you to manage access control, including sharing of SSH credentials without someone being able to transfer those credentials. Inventory can be graphically managed or synced with a wide variety of cloud sources. It logs all of your jobs, integrates well with LDAP, and has a browsable REST API.

Ansible Tower Endpoint targets require Ansible Tower OAuth Credentials account keys and are used with Ansible Tower workflow activities.
