Software Configuration

Ansible is agentless automation software executed on the control node. From the control node, Ansible will interact with the managed node remotely using SSH and REST from a command-line interface or optionally, advanced orchestration with Ansible Automation Platform.

The Ansible for IBM Z collections require additional configuration to ensure that SSH or REST endpoints are available and configured for communication.
