Description of problem: RHOSP ansible is missing community-mysql and nxos collections and one of our partners is using them in their deployment tool pre-rhosp17. Starting with rhosp17, it looks like we're not longer using the RHEL ansible version and are providing ours. If I'm not mistaken, nextgen RHOSP will also have this limitation. Is it possible to provide community-mysql and nxos in our bundled ansible like previous version ? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Our support scope of ansible is limited and we support usage within TripleO and any other documented procedures only. So this request is really out of our support scope, IIUC.
Customer is also asking about packages for hashi_vault Previously, ansible/plugins/lookup/hashi_vault.py was provided by ansible-2.9.27-1.el8ae.noarch rpm. iosxr Customer found https://console.redhat.com/ansible/automation-hub/repo/published/cisco/iosxr/ but don't see any rpm What is the best path make these packages available?
The packaging of ansible is different between RHEL8 and RHEL9 and in RHEL9 we have ansible-core and collection packages instead of the monolithic ansible package. That's why some roles/plugins no longer exist in RHOSP17.1 which uses the package rebuilt from RHEL9 ansible-core. To provide these roles/plugins we have to get rpm of these collections built in RHEL first. However, as I mentioned earlier, support scope of the ansible-core package from RHEL/RHOSP is limited, We support only usage by our own toolings(eg Director) or one described in our documentation. So these roles/plugins are NOT supported. If the customer needs these roles/plugins then they should use ansible tower/engine instead.
I'll close this as WON'T FIX because we don't have specific requirement to provide the said roles/plugins, and we don't support general usage of our ansible package. You may be able to ask RHEL engineering to provide the required collections packages, but I expect they also reject the request because of their support scope.
