Deployed on AWS
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for a pre-configured AWX platform on Kubernetes. Deploy a web-based IT automation platform in minutes to manage Linux and Windows playbooks.
Overview
AWX is an IT automation platform that provides a powerful web-based interface to run Ansible Playbooks at scale. Ansible is the industry-leading IT automation software used for configuration management, cloud resource provisioning, and application deployment, enabling Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for organizations of all sizes. This AMI allows you to deploy AWX on AWS with a single click.
Why AWX on AWS?
AWX extends Ansible's capabilities by giving IT administrators, DevOps engineers, and platform teams a centralized web UI to manage, schedule, and audit automation workflows. Instead of running playbooks manually from the command line, your team can automate provisioning and configuration of VMs, cloud resources, and software - all with role-based security and access controls built in. AWX also provides an audit-friendly interface so finance and security teams can track who did what and when.
Key Benefits
- Scheduled and Unattended Automation: Run your Ansible playbooks on a schedule without manual intervention, ensuring consistent and repeatable infrastructure operations.
- GitOps-Ready Workflows: Enable GitOps for your projects and automatically trigger deployments when code changes are pushed to Git repositories.
- Hybrid Cloud and On-Premises Management: Use Ansible through AWX to configure and manage both AWS cloud resources and on-premises instances from a single interface.
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Control who can provision resources in the cloud and on-premises, enforcing least-privilege access across your teams.
- Complete Audit Trail: Maintain a full record of resource usage, job execution, and configuration changes across your organization for compliance and governance.
- Team Empowerment: Enable your DevOps teams to focus on delivering value to your clients by removing manual bottlenecks from infrastructure workflows.
Example Use Case
A DevOps team managing dozens of EC2 instances alongside on-premises servers can use this AWX deployment to centralize all Ansible playbook execution. Playbooks for patching, application deployment, and configuration drift remediation run on automated schedules through the AWX web UI. Git-integrated workflows automatically trigger infrastructure updates when changes are merged, while RBAC ensures only authorized team members can execute production playbooks. The built-in audit trail provides a clear record of every action for internal reviews.
Quick Start Guide
- Provision your instance: Select an EC2 instance with the right capacity for your needs. We recommend a minimum of 8GB RAM and 30GB SSD for small proof-of-concept and development environments.
- Wait for bootstrap: The instance takes approximately 10 minutes to fully initialize after launch.
- Configure your security group: Ensure your security group allows inbound traffic on port 30300 (TCP) so you can access the AWX web interface.
- Access the AWX portal: Navigate to http://your-instance-ip:30300 in your browser.
- Retrieve credentials: Username is "admin" and the password is accessible on your first SSH login to the instance.
- Start automating: Import your Ansible playbooks, configure inventories, and begin scheduling automation jobs.

Pricing
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for AWX, an open-source Ansible Tower alternative, based on the AWS EC2 instance size you run it on. Each dimension maps to one instance type, so pricing scales with the compute, memory, and storage that instance provides. Options span general-purpose instances (t2, t3, t3a), compute-optimized instances (c3, c4), memory-optimized instances (r5), storage-optimized instances (d2, d3), and GPU instances (g5). Larger instances within a family cost more per hour. You are billed only for the hours you run, with no term commitment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate covers the AWX software running on your chosen EC2 instance size. It does not include the underlying AWS compute charges for that instance. You pay both the software rate and standard AWS infrastructure fees separately. AWX is an open-source Ansible Tower alternative image.
The software fee meters running hours only. When you stop or power off the instance, the hourly software charge stops accruing. AWS may still charge underlying storage fees for stopped instances, but the AWX software licence bills active running time.
Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance type. General-purpose (t2, t3, t3a) suits balanced workloads. Compute-optimized (c3, c4) favors processing power. Memory-optimized (r5) handles larger jobs. Storage-optimized (d2, d3) suits data-heavy tasks. GPU (g5) supports accelerated workloads. Pick the family matching your automation load.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
