Ansible wd_deploy module

You can use the wd_deploy module to deploy the application artifacts from a z/OS environment to a target z/OS environment. It is as an alternative to the wazideploy-deploy command.

For more information on the wazideploy-deploy command, see The Python deployment command.

For example, you can call this Ansible® module by entering the following code. You must indicate the inclusion of the Wazi Deploy Ansible module in the ibm.ibm_zos_wazi_deploy collection.

- name: "Test for deploy module"
  collections:
    - ibm.ibm_zos_wazi_deploy
  environment: "{{ environment_vars }}"
  tasks:
    - name: "test wd_deploy module"
      wd_deploy:
        deployment_plan = '/tmp/wd/deployment_plan_add.yml'
        package_input_file = '/tmp/wd/package.mod.tar'
        env_file = '/tmp/wd/environment-zos.yml'
        working_folder = '/tmp/wd/work'
        plan_tags = 'deploy_modules'
        #evidences_file_name = '/tmp/WD/evidencesvl'
        #extra_vars = 'evvl2=EVL2DEF'
        #plan_skip_tags = 'deploy_modules'
        #dry_run = True
        #debug = True

The wd_deploy module triggers the execution of the Python API deploy function. So its returns and parameters are the same.

Note: Contrary to the other modules, the deploy module cannot be run locally. The delegate_to: localhost parameter is not valid.
