<p>In this video, we are using <a href="https://www.getpostman.com/">Postman</a> which is a REST API testing framework. Of course you can use any tool you are comfortable with e.g. CURL, Ruby, Python or anything that can execute REST API calls.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>To replicate what we do in this video you must complete the steps provided in our previous post <a href="http://cloudformsblog.redhat.com/2017/07/24/my-first-ansible-service-video/">My First Ansible Service</a>.</p>
<p>Specifically, what we show in this video is how to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Launch an Ansible service using the CloudForms REST API</li>
<li>Check its status via REST API</li>
</ul>
