  • January 2023 – Lessons Learned

    For the month, I learned lots of things, and wanted to share them as part of snippets that you might find useful.

    Create a virtual server instance in IBM Power Virtual Server using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

    The Power Developer Exchange article dives into using the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform and how to create PowerVS instances with Ansible. The collection is available at https://github.com/IBM-Cloud/ansible-collection-ibm

    Per the blog, you learn to start a sample controller UI and running some sample program such as hello_world.yaml playbook to say hello to Ansible. With Ansible the options are infinite, and there is always something more to explore. We would like to know how you are using this solution, so drop us a comment.

    Advanced Cluster Manage cross Networks

    The cluster wasn’t getting loaded, so I checked the following…. and it pointed to an issue of a call back to a cluster inside my firewall setup. The klusterlet shows that it’s an issue with a callback.

    oc get pod -n open-cluster-management-agent


    ❯ oc get klusterlet klusterlet -oyaml
