Hi Guys,

We are working on developing KV Plugin.  
Could someone can answer few questions of mine:

1. Should we follow Hashicorp/Cyberark AIM Code flow, or any new developement undergoing ?
2. We have dependency on external github repo, should we import it or place a clone of that in awx repo only?
3. Do Ansible Tower/AWX can run without docker containers?
4. If there are good resources to understand the code repository?

Any prompt reply will help!!

I believe you can get most of the answers from the AWX documentation on GitHub.

Hey Ankit,

I got answers for #3, for rest I am still not clear.  
They have provided [https://github.com/ansible/awx-custom-credential-plugin-example/blob/master/awx\_custom\_credential\_plugin\_example/](https://github.com/ansible/awx-custom-credential-plugin-example/blob/master/awx_custom_credential_plugin_example/) link for this. But I am sensing that it is not enough.
