controller_configuration VS docsite

infra.controller_configuration 2.5.1 has been released. This Ansible collection allows for easy interaction with an AWX or Ansible Controller server via Ansible roles using the AWX/Controller collection modules.

The controller_configuration collection version 2.4.0 has been released.

The Infra config as Code collection group will have a Public Office hours meeting on May 11th at 9am EST/1pm UTC. Details here.

one thing is to play to what you know. Also know that collections can be roles, modules, or both. A few biased collections to look at to see the difference would be infra.controller_configuration - a set of roles to implement either the awx.awx collection or ansible.controller collection for doing configuration as code.

multiple collections with grouped roles, then playbooks to execute those roles as needed. You can also do role include like dispatch here to make it more flexible.

The infra collections have had recent updates: * infra.ah_configuration 1.1.0 Automation hub and galaxy_ng configuration. Majorly improved testing and as a result of fixes all modules and roles work on the last 3 versions of galaxy_ng and Automation Hub. * infra.controller_configuration 2.2.5 Various fixes and additions and improvements to collection, including methods to export configuration files from controller to be used by the collection. * infra.ee_utilities 2.0.6 Updated several bugs and add ability to use types in collection requirements for building execution environments

All of the collections in this group have recently released changes. This includes: * infra.controller_configuration 2.1.9 released to be compatible with recently added AWX changes. Changelog here. * infra.ah_configuration 0.9.2 Automation hub and galaxy_ng configuration. Fixed various major errors, including a major publishing error. Changelog here. * infra.ee_utilities 2.0.1 Updated to add several use cases to Execution Environment Creation. * infra.aap_utilities 2.2.2 Update to OCP installer to allow individual components.

For the server configuration, its on the kubernetes side, however for the AWX configuration of projects, job templates, credentials and the like is the redhat_cop.controller_configuration collection. It uses the awx.awx collection or the ansible.controller configuration to interact with the API to manage things in AWX. The collections are built to work with Ansible Automation Controller, but 99.9% of the time its going to work with AWX.

Before we add the redirect we'd like to get your feedback. Please leave a comment on the pull request or head over to the docs channel on Matrix and let us know your thoughts.

Hopefully you've noticed that the "docs.ansible.com" landing page has a different navigation. We've updated it to focus on user journeys so users can find support from Ansible docs more efficiently. There is still lots to do and we'd love to hear from you! Do you have ideas about new user journeys? Do you see any content gaps? Are there things you'd just like to change? Send a PR or open an issue in the ansible/docsite repo and help us keep building better content journeys for the community.

We've just refreshed the layout on docs.ansible.com to include quick and easy links for most visited doc pages. You can find the new "Quicklinks" section on the index, user, developer, and maintainer pages. We want to hear from you, especially if you have a killer suggestion for a quicklink, so open an issue in the ansible/docsite repo.

You might have noticed that "docs.ansible.com" has a different layout. That's because we've revamped it to focus on user journeys so that users find what they need from Ansible docs more efficiently. There is still lots to do and we'd love to hear from you! Do you have ideas about new user journeys? Do you see anything missing from the new docsite? Are there things you'd just like to change? Send a PR or open an issue in the ansible/docsite repo and help us make it even better.

Come join us and help build a new docsite! The community team has been working to update the Ansible documentation landing page based on a set of user journeys. Right now we're working on a prototype docsite to improve the navigation and user experience.

The community engineering team has put together a first set of user journeys for Ansible docsite personas and would like your feedback. You can find the user journeys in GitHub.

The ansible/docsite repo is now public, giving the Ansible community full access to all the html and navigation assets that go into docs.ansible.com. Fork the repo and start hacking.
