IBM Z System Automation collection
The IBM Z System Automation collection, also represented as ibm_zos_sysauto in this document,
is part of the broader initiative to bring Ansible Automation to IBM Z® through the offering
Red Hat® Ansible Certified Content for IBM Z®. The IBM Z System Automation collection
supports operational tasks using the IBM Z System Automation Operations API
such as creating and deleting dynamic resources from a template defined in the current active policy of an IBM Z System Automation environment.
It interacts with IBM Z System Automation using the SA Operations API provided by the SA Operations REST Server.
Red Hat Ansible Certified Content for IBM Z
Red Hat® Ansible Certified Content for IBM Z provides the ability to
connect IBM Z® to clients' wider enterprise automation strategy through the
Ansible Automation Platform ecosystem. This enables development and operations
automation on Z through a seamless, unified workflow orchestration with
configuration management, provisioning, and application deployment in
one easy-to-use platform.
The IBM Z System Automation is following the
Red Hat® Ansible Certified Content for IBM Z® method of distributing
content. Collections will be developed in the open, and when content is ready
for use it is released to
Ansible Galaxy
for community adoption. Once contributors review community usage, feedback,
and are satisfied with the content published, the collection will then be
released to Ansible Automation Hub
as certified and IBM supported for
Red Hat® Ansible Automation Platform subscribers.
For guides and reference, please review the documentation.
