Ansible Components / Terminology

Control node – any machine with Ansible installed and is used to run playbooks

Managed node (a.k.a. endpoints) – endpoint devices (e.g., AIX, IBM i, Linux, Windows, etc.) that are managed with Ansible

Inventory – a list of managed nodes so that Ansible understands the overall IT landscape

Modules – units of code that Ansible executes; hundreds of modules provided out-of-box; thousands of community modules also available

Tasks – units of action in Ansible (invoke a set of modules to do something useful)

TechUTalks / Power Systems / AIX Marketplace, Trends & Directions / April 2020 38 © 2020© IBM Corporation All the changes for the ML packages have been up -streamed and are available AIX and AI – Open Source Packages available in their latest release!

The Python machine learning tools are very popular among data scientists! Many AIX users are interested to have these packages on AIX to write their AI applications!

Python machine learning packages on AIX! - Python ML packages like numpy, pandas, scipy, scikit-learn, scikit-image, matplotlib … can be installed on AIX using pip - Jupyter notebook to develop ML models and flask server to deploy those models, can also be installed on AIX using pip Ø These packages work with latest python available from AIX toolbox (python-2.7.15-3 or later, python3-3.7.1 or later) - To support these packages required libraries like libblas, liblpack also made available on AIX toolbox

‘RE-gnosis: Coping with the Present through a Leap into the Future’ An Article I liked a lot: It makes the reader put him- / herself in a different perspective: Not talking projections but imagining Corona is over and we are looking back, like in September 2020, which has quite an effect on how we look at it Ø Looking back, you see yourself and the humans as part of the whole story and as a dynamic part: just projecting what´s going to happen is very often focused on the negative aspects and taking the human as a static component! Ø So this article talks about - people that started to be more kind to each other, - about politeness, - who spent time jointly e.g. on long walks, - humor, - taking care of each other - courtesy, and humanity è So looking at it in a retrosperspective – ‘A Backwards Corona Forecast’, helps us to develop a future-mind, a bridge between today and the future and thus a positive perspective!

Virus as emissary from the future!? I think it´s key to understand, that yes, it is a terrible virus, it is a very bad situation, Re but at the same time it could be a recommencement, it could be an acceleration factor -invent yourself! for evolution & transformation, and it could help us focus more on what's important in. life, System reset! and disrupt the ‘always-on’ & ‘faster and faster’ trend! Cool down! Music on Balconies! and so much more! …
