BlueXP DRaaS Ansible Playbooks

This repository contains Ansible playbooks for automating interactions with BlueXP Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS). The provided playbooks allow you to manage access tokens, discover virtual machines, retrieve and edit replication plans, and get detailed information about virtual machines.
