IBMi Ansible modernisation

  • 1.  IBMi Ansible modernisation

    Posted 11 days ago

    Hi All,

     

    I've been watching the number of downloads for the ibmi collection, while it is not the same number as AIX I have noticed it increasing rapidly. Therefore, as part of your modernisation strategy, what I'm curious about it where do you consider yourself on this journey:

     

    1 - kicking the tires with ansible?

    2 - using ansible to reuse existing processes (like job schedules)

    3 - re writing your new and/or existing processes to be under the ansible control

    4  - a combination of new and old

    5 - integrating ansible with IBMi as part your non IBMi ansible collaboration

    6 - not even considered it

    7 - other (it would be appreciated if you could expand)

     

    I find that using Red Hat AAP (Ansible Automation Platform) enables the modernisation strategy to take you to the next level and collaborate across the business.

     

    Many thanks in advance for your feedback and sharing ideas
