Ansible is a simple automation language that can easily describe and IT application infrastructure. It is Open Source and uses YAML for playbook development. People can easily learn and understand the content of the playbook and automation workflow. One of our FSI customers would like to extend Ansible automation into the IBM i operating system to fulfill their business objectives - they would like to improve the consistency and integrity of the deployment on some of the IBM i tasks while performing Disaster Recovery (DR) simulation. Customers would also like to optimize their human resources allocation so that they would not need a bunch of staff back onsite during the DR simulation. In this webinar, we will look at how Ansible automation is able to assist them to achieve their objectives, using the latest IBM i modules.
