- In K8S-based installs, only container groups are intended to be used for playbook execution (JTs, adhoc, inventory updates), so in this scenario, other job types have a task impact of zero. - In K8S-based installs, traditional instances have *zero* capacity (because they're only members of the control plane where services - http/s, local control plane execution - run) - This commit also includes some changes that allow for the task manager to launch tasks with task_impact=0 on instances that have capacity=0 (previously, an instance with zero capacity would never be selected as the "execution node" This means that when IS_K8S=True, any Job Template associated with an Instance Group will never actually go from pending -> running (because there's no capacity - all playbooks must run through Container Groups). For an improved ux, our intention is to introduce logic into the operator install process such that the *default* group that's created at install time is a *Container Group* that's configured to point at the K8S cluster where awx itself is deployed.
AWX provides a web-based user interface, REST API, and task engine built on top of Ansible. It is the upstream project for Tower, a commercial derivative of AWX.
To install AWX, please view the Install guide.

Contributing
- Refer to the Contributing guide to get started developing, testing, and building AWX.
- All code submissions are made through pull requests against the
develbranch. - All contributors must use git commit --signoff for any commit to be merged and agree that usage of --signoff constitutes agreement with the terms of DCO 1.1
- Take care to make sure no merge commits are in the submission, and use
git rebasevs.git mergefor this reason. - If submitting a large code change, it's a good idea to join the
#ansible-awxchannel on irc.freenode.net and talk about what you would like to do or add first. This not only helps everyone know what's going on, but it also helps save time and effort if the community decides some changes are needed.
