The Bullhorn #84 (Ansible Newsletter)
As mentioned in last week's Bullhorn issue, cyberark.pas is subject to removal from version 9 of the Ansible community package due to unresolved Collection Requirements violations. A week has passed since the community-topics issue was filed and other SC members confirmed the violation, so a vote has been started (vote ends on 2022-12-16).

The Bullhorn #83 (Ansible Newsletter)
cyberark.pas is subject to removal from version 9 of the Ansible community package due to unresolved Collection Requirements violations. Please see community-topics#168 for more information.
-
The Bullhorn #80 (Ansible Newsletter)
The community steering committee has started a vote on whether we should amend the Ansible community package removal process to consider collections with unresolved Collection Requirements violations unmaintained and thus subject to removal. Please see the PR that amends the policy and the community-topics ticket for more information.
-
The Bullhorn #79 (Ansible Newsletter)
The Ansible Community Steering Committee has approved a change to the Collection Requirements re. SCM and release requirements. Collections were always required to tag releases, but we have clarified what tagging actually means. We have also explicitly stated that "collection artifacts released to Galaxy MUST be built from the sources that are tagged in the collection's git repository as that release." Please see the full change for more information.

The Bullhorn #69 (Ansible Newsletter)
We are happy to announce that the ibm.spectrum_virtualize collection has been included in the ansible community package. Thanks to everyone who helped review the collection and thanks to the maintainers for submitting the collection and making it satisfy the Collection requirements!

The Bullhorn #56 (Ansible Newsletter)
We've recently signed off on that process, which you can review here.
-
The Bullhorn #55 (Ansible Newsletter)
Your votes needed! Proposal: merge and adopt the procedures defined in Describe how collections can be removed from the Ansible package. Please vote in this issue (and not in the PR). The vote will close on 2022-04-27.
-
Future of Ansible package
Pros: - Motivation for developers to create new collections which can become a part of Ansible package ("so popular and important in IT world", etc). - Motivation to create content satisfying the collection requirements. - Motivation to maintain included collections to avoid kicking them out from the package "I can't show off with my collection any more..:(" - ...(suggest yours)
-
The Bullhorn #49 (Ansible Newsletter)
We have docs in three places today for contributors: * ansible/ansible in the community folder * ansible/community-docs - more collection focused * ansible-collections/overview - has deeper collection contribution details

With what should I use ansbile?
Look into AWX as an alternative to Tower. If you just want better reporting on runs, check out ARA or callback plugins.
- Show HN: ARA Records Ansible and makes it easier to understand and troubleshoot
-
Ansible-Semaphore vs Ansible AWX
Also worth considering is ARA for playbook reporting, and then whatever you want for orchestration (Jenkins, Azure Devops, Rundeck, etc).
-
Zabbix to monitor ansible
Why not use ara?
-
How would I get a list of IP addresses of failed hosts and details?
For general recording of playbook activity with a web dashboard, ARA works really well.
- Planning on writing a callback plugin - is there a unique variable to identify a particular play being run?
-
A way to log which user excuted a playbook
If you don’t want any UI / access control then you can also look at ARA - https://ara.recordsansible.org This works as a callback plugin to capture the job run data.

Benchmarking ansible-core 2.11 vs 2.14 and python 3.9 vs 3.11 along with ara's database backends
I'm not sure how to interpret running 100 debug messages (https://github.com/ansible-community/ara/blob/master/tests/integration/benchmark_tasks.yaml) into real life performance. Mitogen's Benchmark used either 100 times a "hostname" command on the target machine (https://github.com/mitogen-hq/mitogen/blob/master/tests/ansible/bench/loop-100-items.yml) or running the DebOps project (https://github.com/debops/debops-playbooks/blob/master/playbooks/common.yml) for some sorta real-world module usage.

Best options for monitoring Ansible deployment times
There has been discussions about a prometheus exporter for monitoring, metrics and eventually fancy graphs in grafana but work on this has not started yet: https://github.com/ansible-community/ara/issues/177
