hi,

are there any suggestions for ansible-gui? I know there is ansible tower but I dont want to pay.

I was looking for ansibleworks awx but couldnt find any download link or any thing.

Rundeck seems to be the only option so far. Any other gui available ? Please advice.

tower is the new name for awx. There are rumors it will be open source at some point.

Yes there is a GUI available. It is called Ansible Tower. Although you can get a licence for free (up to 10 machines) this is a paid GUI. the more servers you add to tower, the more you need to pay.

This GUI provides you a couple of cool things. it connects you to an SCM where your Ansible-playbooks live, and it gives you audit trailing for auditability. If companies do not want you to use CLI this is an good alternative, although I prefer the CLI.

Hey Anushri,

Try Orcha at [http://www.orcha.io](http://www.orcha.io). If you don’t have a lot of servers then we might be able to provide a free version for you.

Hi Wawura,

Checked Orcha website and looks really interesting, but no pricing info at all…  
Where can I get that info?

Thanks
