Self-service forms for Ansible

Ansible is a powerful automation tool, but it remains a command-line application, and AWX/AAP/Ascender lacks forms that collect data from several sources. AnsibleForms lets you build dynamic, data-driven forms, generate extravars and send them to Ansible, AWX/AAP/Ascender, Semaphore, Rundeck or Jenkins and execute templates there.
