Details

Full Integration of AWX into Centurion. The intent is that AWX will use information from Centurion for its automations and from Centurion view the status of jobs.

So as to have the most current information from AWX. AWX via the inbuilt notifications system to notify Centurion via webhook of ALL job runs. Centurion should then process the details.

As AWX is a separate system, authorization and authentication will be done via AWX by the use of an API key. Each user will have to generate this from within AWX and add it to their Centurion User Settings

Ansible Collection

A lot of the integration between AWX and centurion will need to be done via playbooks and/or Ansible modules. To cater for this We have an Ansible Collection. This collection is also published to Galaxy.

A collection is most ideal as we then control both ends of the integration between AWX and Centurion. This is also beneficial to an end user as all they do is run it.
