A job template is a definition and set of parameters for running an Ansible job. Job templates are useful to execute the same job many times.
Syncing your Project
Before you can create a job template with a new playbook, you must first sync your Project so that Tower knows about it. To do this, click Projects and then click the sync icon next to your project. Once this is complete, you can create the job template.

Running a Job Template
Now that you’ve successfully created your Job Template, you are ready to launch it. Once you do, you will be redirected to a job screen which is refreshing in real time showing you the status of the job.
Step 1
Select TEMPLATES
Note
Alternatively, if you haven’t navigated away from the job templates creation page, you can scroll down to see all existing job templates
Step 2
Click the rocketship icon 
for the
IIS Basic Job Template
Step 3
When prompted, enter your desired test message
Step 4
Select NEXT and preview the inputs.
Step 5
Select LAUNCH 
Step 6
Sit back, watch the magic happen
One of the first things you will notice is the summary section. This gives you details about your job such as who launched it, what playbook it’s running, what the status is, i.e. pending, running, or complete.
Next you will be able to see details on the play and each task in the playbook.
Step 7
When the job has successfully completed, you should see a URL to your website printed at the bottom of the job output.
If all went well, you should see something like this, but with your own custom message of course.
Extra Credit
Now that you have IIS Installed, create a new playbook called remove_iis.yml to stop and remove IIS.
Hint: First stop the W3Svc service using the win_service module,
then delete the Web-Server service using the win_feature module.
Optionally, use the win_file module to delete the index page.
End Result
At this point in the workshop, you’ve experienced the core functionality of Ansible Tower. But wait… there’s more! You’ve just begun to explore the possibilities of Ansible Tower. The next few lessons will help you move beyond a basic playbook.
