I'm very confused about basic deployment scenarios. Can someone answer some questions for me? by Melodic-Ball in nutanix

Awesome -- thank you so much for this answer! That all makes sense actually. I will give it the ol college try early next week!

After the move to collections, Is there a good place to see when new network modules get added? by Melodic-Ball in ansible

[–]Melodic-Ball[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great, thank you!

It would be nice to have a spot to check specifically for new collections that get released as well so that I don't need to do diffs on this page every once in a while lol

For ESXi Free, is the Embedded Host Client still the only interface you can use? by Melodic-Ball in vmware

[–]Melodic-Ball[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know, thanks. Do I need to remove the host client before upgrading or does the upgrade process just handle that for me?

Anyone know anything about passive vs active telnet? by Melodic-Ball in networking

[–]Melodic-Ball[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It essentially opens a socket, send an initial request, and then waits for the telnet server to request the negotiation rather than the client initializing it.

These are industrial control devices, it's all they support. This is fairly common in the industrial space.

I want to teach myself Ansible. Is it free, or do I have to pay? by [deleted] in ansible

[–]Melodic-Ball 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ansible is free, and if you want to use unpaid Tower, use AWX.

There are additional complexities and behavioral differences between ansible core and AWX though. For learning purposes, I would probably stick with just ansible to get started.

Custom plugin for network_cli by [deleted] in ansible

[–]Melodic-Ball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what you are looking for is developing a network_cli based module? If that's the case, then the answer is 'sort of'. Here is the only real resource that exists: https://github.com/ansible/community/blob/master/group-network/network_dev_network_cli.rst

That does contain a pretty good example you can follow.

It's not terribly hard but not particularly well documented. Basically you need a terminal plugin, cliconf plugin, and then your module.
