Ansible ↗ 📦️

The Ansible package includes ansible-core and is a batteries-included package that provides a curated set of Ansible collections. See the Ansible roadmaps for future release plans.

dmsimard shared

Ansible 6.0.0 alpha1 (including ansible-core 2.13.0b0) is now available for testing: https://groups.google.com/g/ansible-announce/c/qWfZJ8FoeCI. It includes the newest major releases of included Ansible collections and ships python wheels resulting in significantly improved installation performance. Please give it a try and let us know if you encounter any issues!

MAJOR NEW RELEASES 🏆️

Antsibull ↗ 🐂

Tooling for building the Ansible package and collection documentation.

felixfontein said

antsibull 0.44.0 (changelog) has been released. Note that upgrading from < 0.44.0 to >= 0.44.0 is complicated by the fact that the package has been split up into three packages: antsibull-core, antsibull-docs, and antsibull. The way pip works will probably remove the antsibull-docs CLI command since it moved to the dependent package antsibull-docs. To work around this, either first uninstall antsibull before installing 0.44.0, or re-install antsibull-docs afterwards.

felixfontein contributed

If you are using the antsibull-docs or antsibull-lint collection-docs CLI command from the antsibull package, consider switching to using the new antsibull-docs 1.0.0 package instead! It is more stable and comes with less potential baggage to carry around.

Awesome Ansible Awesome Ansible

Thanks to the great work by KeyboardInterrupt we now have awesome-ansible which has a curated list of cool Ansible projects.

A lot of time and effort has been put into this list to ensure the resources and projects listed are high-quality, only awesome items. Awesome lists are curations of the best, not everything.

  • Take a look at the existing list, to find something new
  • If you know of something missing, edit the list
  • Ideas on bigger changes, such as new sections (groups of tools, non-English resources), raise an issue
