This repository contains examples which you can use to test out the capabilities of IBM watsonx Code Assistant for Ansible Lightspeed.
With this VM demo you can test:
- Inferencing from natural language requests.
- Single-task and Multi-task content generation for Playbooks
- Code Similarity and transparency.
-
The Lightspeed service only works on VS Code with an active Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Subscription. Hence, you need to login to the Ansible Extension with a Red Hat ID in order to enable Lightspeed service.
-
To login, go to the Ansible icon on your left panel and click "Connect" under Ansible Lightspeed Login. Upon clicking, "Allow" the link to open in the browser.
-
In this VM setup, we have saved an active Red Hat ID in the Firefox web-browser.
-
Once you have logged in successfully, and back on VS Code, you can confirm the Red Hat License by clicking on the Ansible icon on the left panel
-
Update your working directory (
/home/techzone/Documents/ansible-wca-demo-kit) with the latest examples: Performgit fetch&git pullon the VS Code terminal. -
Each example has its own README.md to help give context. You can follow the instructions within the README.md or the individual YAML files.
We have uploaded few basic scenarios which gives you an idea on how watsonx Code Assistant can interpret the natural lanuguage in prompts and further by uncommenting and hitting Enter, you can get content suggestions. To accept the content suggested, hit Tab.
In your Playbook writing experience, you usally tend to write it in a step-by-step approach. You write the single-tasks one after the other.
- The Generative AI capabilities of watsonx Code Assistant will enable you complete your IT Automation in Playbook faster.
- Simply provide your intent in plain English language and watsonx Code Assistant will return the content suggestion for it.
- In the below example we show single-task prompt and the recommendation by watsonx Code Assistant:
- Now, take it to the next level by giving all the IT Automation instructions/tasks together. Type in all the individual tasks below the
tasksparameter by separating it with an&. You should comment the line in order for watsonx Code Assistant to interpret the prompt. - In the below example we show multi-task prompt and the recommendation by watsonx Code Assistant:
This comment line now acts as a prompt to the watsonx Code Assistant.
- Now that you know how watsonx Code Assistant can interpret the prompts, you can start framing your IT Automations in a sentance and just hit
Enter - You can test your own scenarios by writing new playbooks and modifying the prompts the way you like it.
- Who are the main audience for this demo setup? _ONLY IBM INTERNAL. IBM Sellers & IBM Client Engineering teams.
