-This Ansible collection allows for easy interaction with an {% if collection_package | lower() == 'awx' %}AWX{% else %}Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform{% endif %} server via Ansible playbooks.
-
-This source for this collection lives in the `awx_collection` folder inside of the
-AWX GitHub repository.
-The previous home for this collection was inside the folder [lib/ansible/modules/web_infrastructure/ansible_tower](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tree/stable-2.9/lib/ansible/modules/web_infrastructure/ansible_tower) in the Ansible repo,
-as well as other places for the inventory plugin, module utils, and
-doc fragment.
-
-## Building and Installing
-
-{% if collection_package | lower() == 'awx' %}
-This collection templates the `galaxy.yml` file it uses.
-Run `make build_collection` from the root folder of the AWX source tree.
-This will create the `tar.gz` file inside the `awx_collection` folder
-with the current AWX version, for example: `awx_collection/awx-awx-9.2.0.tar.gz`.
-
-Installing the `tar.gz` involves no special instructions.
-
-{% else %}
-This collection should be installed from [Content Hub](https://cloud.redhat.com/ansible/automation-hub/ansible/tower/)
-
-{% endif %}
-## Running
-
-Non-deprecated modules in this collection have no Python requirements, but
-may require the official [AWX CLI](https://pypi.org/project/awxkit/)
-in the future. The `DOCUMENTATION` for each module will report this.
-
-You can specify authentication by host, username, and password.
-
-These can be specified via (from highest to lowest precedence):
-
- - direct module parameters
- - environment variables (most useful when running against localhost)
- - a config file path specified by the `tower_config_file` parameter
- - a config file at `./tower_cli.cfg`, i.e. in the current directory
- - a config file at `~/.tower_cli.cfg`
- - a config file at `/etc/tower/tower_cli.cfg`
-
-Config file syntax looks like this:
-
-```
-[general]
-host = https://localhost:8043
-verify_ssl = true
-username = foo
-password = bar
-```
-
-or like this:
-
-```
-host: https://localhost:8043
-verify_ssl: true
-oauth_token: <token>
-
-```
-
-## Release and Upgrade Notes
-
-Notable releases of the `{{ collection_namespace }}.{{ collection_package }}` collection:
-
-{% if collection_package | lower() == "awx" %}
- - 7.0.0 is intended to be identical to the content prior to the migration, aside from changes necessary to function as a collection.
- - 11.0.0 has no non-deprecated modules that depend on the deprecated `tower-cli` [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/ansible-tower-cli/).
- - 19.2.1 large renaming purged "tower" names (like options and module names), adding redirects for old names
- - 21.11.0 "tower" modules deprecated and symlinks removed.
- - 25.0.0 "token" and "application" modules have been removed as oauth is no longer supported, use basic auth instead
- - X.X.X added support of named URLs to all modules. Anywhere that previously accepted name or id can also support named URLs
- - 0.0.1-devel is the version you should see if installing from source, which is intended for development and expected to be unstable.
-{% else %}
- - 3.7.0 initial release
- - 4.0.0 ansible.tower renamed to ansible.controller
-   - tower_ prefix is dropped from the module names, e.g. tower_inventory becomes inventory
- - 4.7.0 "token" module has been removed as oauth is no longer supported, use basic auth instead
-{% endif %}
-
-The following notes are changes that may require changes to playbooks:
-
- - The `credential` module no longer allows `kind` as a parameter; additionally, `inputs` must now be used with a variety of key/value parameters to go with it (e.g., `become_method`)
- - The `job_wait` module no longer allows `min_interval`/ `max_interval` parameters; use `interval` instead
- - The `notification_template` requires various notification configuration information to be listed as a dictionary under the `notification_configuration` parameter (e.g., `use_ssl`)
- - In the `inventory_source` module, the `source_project` (when provided) lookup defaults to the specified organization in the same way the inventory is looked up
- - The module `tower_notification` was renamed `tower_notification_template`. In `ansible >= 2.10` there is a seamless redirect. Ansible 2.9 does not respect the redirect.
- - When a project is created, it will wait for the update/sync to finish by default; this can be turned off with the `wait` parameter, if desired.
- - Creating a "scan" type job template is no longer supported.
- - Specifying a custom certificate via the `TOWER_CERTIFICATE` environment variable no longer works.
- - Type changes of variable fields:
-
-   - `extra_vars` in the `tower_job_launch` module worked with a `list` previously, but now only works with a `dict` type
-   - `extra_vars` in the `tower_workflow_job_template` module worked with a `string` previously but now expects a `dict`
-   - When the `extra_vars` parameter is used with the `tower_job_launch` module, the launch will fail unless `ask_extra_vars` or `survey_enabled` is explicitly set to `True` on the Job Template
-   - The `variables` parameter in the `tower_group`, `tower_host` and `tower_inventory` modules now expects a `dict` type and no longer supports the use of `@` syntax for a file
-
-
- - Type changes of other types of fields:
-
-   - `inputs` or `injectors` in the `tower_credential_type` module worked with a string previously but now expects a `dict`
-   - `schema` in the `tower_workflow_job_template` module worked with a `string` previously but not expects a `list` of `dict`s
-
- - `tower_group` used to also service inventory sources, but this functionality has been removed from this module; use `tower_inventory_source` instead.
- - Specified `tower_config` file used to handle `k=v` pairs on a single line; this is no longer supported. Please use a file formatted as `yaml`, `json` or `ini` only.
- - Some return values (e.g., `credential_type`) have been removed. Use of `id` is recommended.
- - `tower_job_template` no longer supports the deprecated `extra_vars_path` parameter, please use `extra_vars` with the lookup plugin to replace this functionality.
- - The `notification_configuration` parameter of `tower_notification_template` has changed from a string to a dict. Please use the `lookup` plugin to read an existing file into a dict.
- - `tower_credential` no longer supports passing a file name to `ssh_key_data`.
- - The HipChat `notification_type` has been removed and can no longer be created using the `tower_notification_template` module.
- - Lookup plugins now always return a list, and if you want a scalar value use `lookup` as opposed to `query`
-
-{% if collection_package | lower() == "awx" %}
-## Running Unit Tests
-
-Tests to verify compatibility with the most recent AWX code are in `awx_collection/test/awx`.
-These can be ran via the `make test_collection` command in the development container.
-
-To run tests outside of the development container, or to run against
-Ansible source, set up a dedicated virtual environment:
-
-```
-mkvirtualenv my_new_venv
-# may need to replace psycopg3 with psycopg3-binary in requirements/requirements.txt
-pip install -r requirements/requirements.txt -r requirements/requirements_dev.txt -r requirements/requirements_git.txt
-make clean-api
-pip install -e <path to your Ansible>
-pip install -e .
-pip install -e awxkit
-py.test awx_collection/test/awx/
-```
-
-## Running Integration Tests
-
-The integration tests require a virtualenv with `ansible >= 2.9` and `awxkit`.
-The collection must first be installed, which can be done using `make install_collection`.
-You also need a configuration file, as described in the [Running](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/awx_collection/README.md#running) section.
-
-How to run the tests:
-
-```
-# ansible-test must be run from the directory in which the collection is installed
-cd ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/awx/awx/
-ansible-test integration
-```
-{% endif %}
-
-## Licensing
-
-All content in this folder is licensed under the same license as Ansible,
-which is the same as the license that applied before the split into an
-independent collection.
