A Newsletter for the Ansible Developer Community
Issue #10, 2020-09-16
Welcome to The Bullhorn, our newsletter for the Ansible developer community. If you have any questions or content you’d like to share, please reach out to us at the-bullhorn@redhat.com, or comment on this GitHub issue.
- 2020-09-15: ansible-2.10.0 rc1 (moved from 10-Sep)
- 2020-09-17: community IRC meeting (any blockers for release should be proposed and discussed here)
- 2020-09-22: ansible-2.10 GA release date
The ansible-2.10.0 prereleases continue to be updated for testing purposes. Ansible 2.10.0 beta 2 was uploaded to pypi last week, and Ansible 2.10.0 rc1 is now available on pypi as mentioned above.
For more release details, please take a look at: The Ansible Base team announced the general release of Ansible 2.10.1 on September 14th. This ansible-base package consists of only the Ansible execution engine, related tools (e.g. ansible-galaxy, ansible-test), and a very small set of built-in plugins, and is also bundled with the larger Ansible distribution. For more information on how to download, test, and report issues, read Rick Elrod’s announcement to the ansible-devel mailing list.
If you use the ansible-galaxy CLI to publish roles or collections to Galaxy, you may care about this. The GitHub API that underlies the ansible-galaxy login command is being removed in November. Without it, users doing role or collection publishing operations via the Galaxy CLI will need to find their Galaxy token interactively in a browser and pass it using a config file (as the ability to generate a token from the CLI will no longer function). We're not sure what people do today or how much this option is used out in the world, so please read and weigh in here in the next few days if you have an opinion.
The Ansible Podman collection has a new module podman_network for the management of Podman networking.
The Ansible Community Team is hiring engineers to help with onboarding Ansible contributors. For more info, please see the following job descriptions:
- Senior Software Community Engineer - Ansible Project - EU
- Senior Software Community Engineer - Ansible Project - US
- Writing a custom Ansible module by Vincent Bernat
- Ansible Inventory Diff Github Action by Will Thames
Take a look at the wiki page to find out how the two days will be structured, and register via the corresponding links. We look forward to your participation at the Contributor Summit!
We will be a part of Open Source Automation Days, which will be an online event from October 19-21, 2020. Check out the speakers and topics, as well as workshops, and get tickets here if you’re interested.
The following virtual meetups are being held in the Ansible community over the next month:
