Description of problem: We've met several customers whose usecase requires rebooting VMs for instance once a day at night. For now all such cases are worked around by API script running in cron but given the amount of requests this might be nice to get implemented in webadmin. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Any
We have now API for reboot, is that not enough? Replicating cron capabilities doesn't sound worth the effort
For some of the customers API will be OK, but majority would really appreciate this to be possible directly from the UI.

While Ansible is a potential solution to the problem, I think customers would appreciate the functionality without having to buy another SKU. Functionality-wise I agree with you, it's a solution to this problem. This might require a PM decision of what we want to provide in the product itself and what should be provided outside of the product.

It's not Tower, Just Ansible. > > Functionality-wise I agree with you, it's a solution to this problem. > This might require a PM decision of what we want to provide in the product > itself and what should be provided outside of the product.
As Ansible should be able to do the job and these kind of "cron" jobs should not be done in the UI, closing this one. Feel free to reopen with justification if there is a real need.
