KubeVirt Collection for Ansible

THIS COLLECTION IS UNMAINTAINED AND DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY WITH THE LATEST VERSIONS OF ANSIBLE!. Take a look if a replacing collection kubevirt.core provides functionality you need. If you're interested in fixing and maintaining community.kubevirt, please respond in the issue but we highly recommend you to consider contributing to kubevirt.core instead.

This repo hosts the community.kubevirt Ansible Collection which is a part of the Ansible package.

The collection includes a variety of Ansible content to automate the management of KubeVirt container native virtualization environments.

Using this collection

Checking the Collection version

To check if the collection is installed on your system and its current version, run the following command:

ansible-galaxy collection list community.kubevirt

Installing the Collection from Ansible Galaxy

Before using the kubevirt collection, you need to install it with the Ansible Galaxy CLI:

ansible-galaxy collection install community.kubevirt

You can also include it in a requirements.yml file and install it via ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml, using the format:

---
collections:
  - name: community.kubevirt

Note that if you install the collection from Ansible Galaxy, it will not be upgraded automatically if you upgrade the Ansible package. To upgrade the collection to the latest available version, run the following command:

ansible-galaxy collection install community.kubevirt --upgrade

You can also install a specific version of the collection, for example, if you need to downgrade when something is broken in the latest version (please report an issue in this repository). Use the following syntax:

ansible-galaxy collection install community.kubevirt:==1.0.0

See Ansible Using collections for more details.

Installing the Collection with the Ansible package

Because the collection is shipped with Ansible, if you install the ansible package, the collection will be installed authomatically.

If you install the ansible-core package, you will need to intall the collection manually. Refer to the paragraph above.
