Ability to implement Kustomize based on documentation that will be provided in the future.
In Maximo we had to make a choice on the automation technology we would use to deliver OOTB solutions for customers, and we chose Ansible+Tekton, there are a myriad of alternatives that any given customer may have chosen, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. What we cannot do is provide support for each and every one of these, we have chosen to focus on a single automation technology with the goal to deliver a high quality automation engine that can be used by all customers.
This does not prevent customers or business partners from developing their own automation solutions based on other technologies, but I do not believe it's likely we in Maximo will ever be in a position where we support additional automation options; our strategy is two-fold: ansible (idempotent imperative) and argocd (declarative). We also accept that currently we are lacking in the necessary documentation that would make it realistic & feasible for any customer to realistically create such automation, and would look to address that, but no timeline discussed.
