Ansible AIX support
Ansible AIX support is my collection of modules or features for AIX/PowerVM OS that are not (yet) commited to official Ansible.
I am personally working to put all those modules officially to Ansible project. My goal is put Ansible more integrated with AIX and PowerVM plataform.
I recommend to use this collection with latest stable Ansible version.
