# Ansible Tower plugin

Ansible Tower plugin
====================

The Ansible Tower plugin provides CloudBees CD/RO integration to Ansible Tower, allowing you to run Ansible playbooks.

*   Ansible Tower inventory tracks hosts, but does not track deployed artifacts.
    
*   The Ansible Tower plugin does not automatically populate inventory.
    
    *   You can specify your deployed artifacts, which are then populated in the inventory during a successful deployment to your hosts.
        
    *   You can extract artifacts with a user-defined regexp.
        
    
*   Inventory is not updated when a component is not present.
