Hi CloudStack users Some may rembember, I am the author and maintainer of the official cloudstack modules and want to give a heads up what has been going on behind the scenes.
Ansible 2.10 is a now ACD (Ansible Community Distribution) the upstream project of Red Hat Ansible Engine and has a fully distributed development approach. ACD consist of Ansible Collections and Ansible Base. Community supported modules have been migrated into the trunk of a collection community.general or into dedicated collections, such as AWS, OpenStack, etc. (To get an idea which collections are in ACD, see https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/2.10/ansible.in, these are are the <namespace>.<collection> released on https://galaxy.ansible.com/<namespace/<collection>.) This model allows to develop, release and maintain plugins independently of the release cycle of ACD, ansible even allows to install newer collections than what is released in ACD. That is why I pick it up and created a dedicated CloudStack collection hosted on https://github.com/ngine-io/ansible-collection-cloudstack which is part of ACD and will be included with ansible 2.10 once released. I invite you to join the working group on https://github.com/ngine-io/ansible-collection-cloudstack for ansible cloudstack modules and help maintain them as a community. (I do accept sponsoring and provide commercial support as a freelancer role) Regards René
