Plugins

Plugins that come with the IBM z/OS core collection complement Ansible’s core functionality. Ansible uses a plugin architecture to enable a rich, flexible and expandable feature set.

Action

Action plugins integrate local processing and local data with module functionality. Action plugins are executed by default when an associated module is used; no additional user action is required, this documentation is reference only.
