3.8.4 Registering templates
A job template is a set of definitions combining authentication information, projects, inventories, etc., for executing a job.
Through a project, you can link to a Playbook by specifying “Playbookβ.yaml” from the repository set for the project. In addition, by defining the provided Ops I component “awx.run_job_template” in the action of the Task model in the workflow YAML file, a job template can be automatically executed from the workflow. For details on the provided Ops I component “awx.run_job_template”, see “awx.run_job_template”.
