Description

Please put the name of the software product (and affected platforms if relevant) in the title of this issue

Delete as appropriate from this list:

- Missing install

Details:
On most linux machines we have `pigz` available to perform gzip compression across all CPU cores. We do not install this on AIX so it falls back to gzip. Sine `pigz` is available in the IBM yum repository we should install that to gain the performance advantage at the end of the build process that `pigz` gives.

Research direction

No file or test is identified. Start by locating the Ansible configuration that installs packages on AIX and checking how gzip is selected at the end of the build process; done means pigz is installed from the IBM yum repository and available for that compression step.
