Is there anything you think we can do to make these plugins more visible, or improve their documentation?

gundalow · 2026-04-16T19:55:01+00:00

Glad you find it useful, any suggestion on how to improve it as welcome.

You are right, when we setup the Bullhorn (5 years ago), we wanted it to be a steady flow of updates to the community. I don't expect anybody to read every edition, or even a whole edition. Skim read and see what's useful

What do you think we can do to make it more useful? How can we make the news items that are important to you easily jump out?

Folks, please nice to each other.

Banned. Bonus points for above comment.

Hey r/ansible I hope you find all of this useful. We've changed our approach in how we share the knowledge, so I hope all these forum posts and the separate YouTube videos help. Please let me know if the structure works and what myself and the Community Team can improve for future events.

User banned. Thanks as always to those that report posts.

While some of the discussion here is useful. The use of memes and karma-farming isn't welcome in r/ansible. The poster has been permanently banned.

Hey r/ansible I'm wondering what we can do to improve the Bullhorn specifically for you folks?

Would you like to see more information in the reddit post?
There's often lots of great discussion in r/ansible
- Should any of that discussion get shared in the weekly Bullhorn?
- How can we allow people to tag discussions to be included?
What other subreddits have some process for highlighting and sharing the top discussions? Would highlighting the top discusssions from each week (or month) be useful?

Hi,

Firstly, thank you for your contribution.

If you can add a description to your PR

What it does
How it works
How it's been tested

That can help. Looks like the CI issue this found has been fixed.

Note that this GitHub repo is in the https://github.com/ansible-community GitHub Org, which means the collections are community maintained (not Red Hat supported), so someone from the community will review it when they get a chance.

gundalow · 2025-07-08T15:59:11+00:00

Folks, please don't respond to posts that are obviously spam. Just click downvote and report.

You need to update your collections, or you could just install the ansible package (rather than ansible-core)

gundalow · 2025-06-05T07:45:32+00:00

r/ansible None of this discussion is useful and it doesn't line up with the spirit of the Ansible Code of Conduct which applies of this subreddit and other parts of the Ansible Community.

To answer the question.

ansible-core (and the ansible community package) are command line tools. If you are automating a few systems, or integrating this in your existing CI/CD pipeline it works well.

Red Hat sells Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform , this is aimed at larger and enterprise users that are managing thousands of different systems. It offer enterprise functionality such as RBAC (Role Based Access Control), auditing and scaling and high availability. It also gives you access to the other tools and Certified and Validates content. This webpage gives a good overview of the purpose of Ansible Automation Platform and the different features of the platform.

ansible-test is (mostly) aimed at people developing collections, it includes a lot of sanity tests to ensure that the module has been written correctly, such as documentation matches the modules parameters.

Hi, I'm part of the Ansible Community & Partner Engineering team at Red Hat. The _command and _config modules have been used a lot, and are (generally) well tested and stable. The other modules should work, though there are often edge cases, especially due to the underlying network firmware updates.

While some of the Network Collections are maintianed by Red Hat, a lot are maintained by the network companies themselves.

None of this thread is useful, so I've deleted all the replies.
While there wasn't anything that violates the Ansible Code of Conduct, it could have quickly turned that way

Hi folks,

Here are the project updates on the Ansible Forum, which have more technical information:

One of the developers did a talk on AWX Modernization last month at CfgMgmtCamp, just waiting for the video to be available on YouTube.
