Ansible Tower CLI
=================
**tower-cli** is a command line tool for Ansible Tower. It allows Tower
commands to be easily run from the Unix command line. It can also be
used as a client library for other python apps, or as a reference for
others developing API interactions with Tower's REST API.
About Tower
-----------
`Ansible Tower <https://www.ansible.com/tower>`__ is a GUI and REST interface
for Ansible that supercharges it by adding RBAC, centralized logging,
autoscaling/provisioning callbacks, graphical inventory editing, and
more.
Tower is free to use for up to 30 days or 10 nodes. Beyond this, `a
license is required <https://www.ansible.com/pricing>`__.
Capabilities
------------

retrieving, creating, modifying, and deleting most resources within Tower.
A few potential uses include:
- Launching playbook runs (for instance, from Jenkins, TeamCity,
Bamboo, etc)
- Checking on job statuses
- Rapidly creating objects like organizations, users, teams, and more
