Navy Federal Credit Union (NFCU) has adopted Ansible as their preferred
automation platform across the organization. While the distributed teams were
early adopters of Ansible at NFCU, it soon became evident that there would be
key benefits to extending this approach to the core enterprise technologies such
as CICS. This resulted in an inter-departmental rotation of a CICS engineer with
Navy Federal’s SRE team. One of the resulting playbooks from that experience is
performing a rolling restart of CICS via Ansible.
Some of the topics covered will be:• Overview of NFCUs introduction of Ansible
for the Mainframe and CICS teams• Setting expectations on what Ansible can/can’t
do for CICS environments• Determining what is a good fit for Ansible automation•
Tips for admins looking to integrate CICS and Z/OS with Ansible • Demo of an
Ansible-driven restart.
