What is the distinction between a job and a Unified Job? In the documentation there is a section on Unified Job Templates but it doesn’t seem to define what a Unified job is: [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/2.3.0/html/towerapi/unified\_job\_template.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/2.3.0/html/towerapi/unified_job_template.html)

No idea, but on the dedicated awx-project mailing list someone might know  
(this is the ansible-project list).
