Ansible for IBM Z Playbooks

To help you get started with Ansible for IBM Z, we provide a wide range of ready-to-use sample playbooks in our Ansible for IBM Z sample playbook repository on GitHub. You can explore the sample playbooks in the repository and customize them for your own use cases.

The playbook repository contains various playbooks catering to different aspects of IBM Z. All the playbooks in the repository can run independently from any other playbook. Each playbook is accompanied with detailed instructions in the README on how to customize the inventory, vars and playbook to make it your own.

The playbook repository is an open-source project, and the playbooks are contributed by IBM and the broader Ansible community. If you need any support while using a sample playbook, you should create a GitHub issue in the community for the playbook outlining the issue that you are experiencing.

For example, you can find playbooks that demonstrate various topics such as:

• Z Systems Administration

• z/OS Administration

• z/OS Basic Operations

• z/OS Concepts

• z/OS Integrating Existing Automation

• z/OS Provisioning

• z/OS Application & Service Deployment

• z/OS Subsystems

• z/OS Software Installation
