Sunday June 14, 2026 10:00 - 13:00 CEST

This hands-on workshop takes attendees from initial host onboarding to advanced automation in a single 3-hour session. We will start from a preinstalled PowerVC instance so participants can jump straight into adding hosts, importing images, provisioning VMs and perform more advanced CLI tasks to efficiently automate their PowerVC setup. Attendees will leave with sufficient knowledge they can use to tackle the official IBM PowerVC certification.

Workshop: Advanced Ansible Workshop on IBM Power

Sunday June 14, 2026 14:00 - 17:00 CEST

13 - ST CLAIR 1

This hands-on workshop focuses on practical Ansible automation for IBM Power. Starting from a preconfigured lab, participants will set up Ansible, integrate it with PowerVC, and work through the IBM Power AIX collection to automate common admin tasks. Time permitting, attendees can optionally deploy a modern web application from GitHub to Power using the playbooks they build. Participants leave with tested playbooks, reusable role templates, and clear steps to reproduce the automation in their own environments.
