Ansible Getting Started Course

Noteworthy Ansible Updates

Here are Ansible Updates since the course (grouped by Ansible release) and including some of the roadmap for what is coming. My notes here are the fastest way for me to get you updates and then I can modify the course as needed.

Distilled since course updated last:

2.10

Python 2 is sunset

It will take time to move beyond distros and apps that still support 2.X but the 2.X build is EOL'd so that should wrap up quickly, especially given that this EOLing has been a decade or more in the works.

The nice thing is you can forget about 2.X/3.X issues and just move on to using ANsible whereas before the 2.X/3.X could trip you up. This said you can have parallel installs of 3.X versions that can cause trouble but less so than 2.X with the breaking language changes.
