# AWX Source: https://forgeone.solutions/en/products/awx Language: en Published: 2026-09-04 Updated: 2026-10-16 ForgeOne supports AWX architecture, Kubernetes deployment, inventories, RBAC, workflows, integration and operations for organizations in Austria and beyond. ## AWX implementation, integration and operations ForgeOne plans and implements AWX for organizations that want to execute, govern and operate existing Ansible automation through a central platform. AWX brings together inventories, projects, job templates, workflow job templates, credentials, roles, schedules and APIs. ForgeOne integrates these functions with GitLab, execution environments, logging, monitoring and existing operating procedures. AWX is an independent open-source project. Architecture, updates, backup, recovery and support ownership therefore need explicit planning and are not equivalent to the enterprise model of AAP. - [View automation group](https://forgeone.solutions/en/products/automation-gitops) - [Book consultation](https://forgeone.solutions/en/contact#book-appointment) ### Web UI / controller for Ansible ForgeOne product and operations offering ### Jobs & templates Repeatable execution with parameters, inventories and traceable results. ### Credentials & RBAC Access and execution are controlled instead of being spread across scripts. ### Schedules, APIs & workflows Automation becomes schedulable, integrable and usable across teams. [![AWX logo.](https://forgeone.solutions/media/AWX_Logo.webp)](https://forgeone.solutions/media/AWX_Logo.webp) ## Use cases The following scenarios are common entry points, not mandatory modules. ### Jobs & templates Repeatable execution with parameters, inventories and traceable results. - [Position](https://forgeone.solutions/en/products/awx#einsatzfelder) ### Credentials & RBAC Access and execution are controlled instead of being spread across scripts. - [Position](https://forgeone.solutions/en/products/awx#einsatzfelder) ### Schedules, APIs & workflows Automation becomes schedulable, integrable and usable across teams. - [Position](https://forgeone.solutions/en/products/awx#einsatzfelder) ## From existing playbooks to a central AWX platform Many teams already have playbooks, roles and scripts but no centrally managed execution platform. ForgeOne inventories this content, resolves dependencies and secrets, structures Git repositories and moves suitable automation into AWX step by step. We design projects, inventories, credentials, job templates, workflow job templates, RBAC and schedules so teams can launch automation under controlled permissions without distributing administrative credentials through scripts. The operating model covers API integration, logging, monitoring, backup and recovery, update and lifecycle procedures, and documented post-change testing. [View automation & integration](https://forgeone.solutions/en/automation-integration) ## AWX architecture and operations - Design the Kubernetes platform, resources, storage, networking, ingress and availability for the environment. - Install and manage AWX declaratively with the AWX Operator instead of treating obsolete single-container procedures as the standard. - Build and version custom execution environments for collections, Python and system dependencies. - Integrate GitLab projects, webhooks, inventories, credentials, RBAC, templates, workflows and schedules. - Treat the database, project content, secret key, backup, restore, monitoring and updates as one lifecycle. The current AWX Operator documentation describes Kubernetes and the AWX Operator as the regular installation and lifecycle path.

AWX is the open upstream controller layer. AAP adds an enterprise model with lifecycle, support, execution environments, automation hub and governance. ### Is AWX suitable for production? That depends on the operating model. ForgeOne reviews update, backup, support, security and governance requirements before the decision. ## Recommended next step From the product decision, the next step leads into architecture, implementation or operations. ### Automation & GitOps Understand the product family in context and compare alternatives. - [View automation overview](https://forgeone.solutions/en/products/automation-gitops) ### Analysis & Assessment Clarify scope, risks, migration and operating model with ForgeOne. - [Discuss assessment](https://forgeone.solutions/en/analysis-assessment) ### Discuss the project Align concrete needs, timeline and next appointment. - [Book consultation](https://forgeone.solutions/en/contact#book-appointment) ## Introduce AWX cleanly We clarify use case, architecture, operations and the next sensible step. - [Book a consultation](https://forgeone.solutions/en/contact#book-appointment)
