Awx on K3S

AWX is an open-source web-based management platform for managing and visualizing Ansible automation processes. AWX, which is the upstream version of Red Hat Ansible Tower, runs on K3S lightweight Kubernetes distribution, providing enterprise-grade automation management with minimal resource footprint. This combination is specially optimized for resource-constrained environments, edge deployments and development/testing scenarios and offers 60% less resource consumption compared to traditional bare-metal deployments.

It manages infrastructure automation and configuration management processes from a centralized dashboard with RESTful API, webhook integrations, job templates and workflow orchestration features. It provides enterprise security and operational visibility with RBAC (Role-Based Access Control), credential management, inventory synchronization and real-time job monitoring. Thanks to K3S's containerized architecture, it supports GitOps workflows, CI/CD integrations and cloud-native deployment patterns. It increases team collaboration and operational efficiency with multi-tenancy, scheduling and notification systems.
