Ansible Collection: openstack.cloud
This repo hosts the openstack.cloud Ansible Collection.
The collection includes the Openstack modules and plugins supported by Openstack community to help the management of Openstack infrastructure.
Installation and Usage
Installing dependencies
For using the Openstack Cloud collection firstly you need to install ansible and openstacksdk Python modules on your Ansible controller.
For example with pip:
pip install ansible openstacksdk
OpenStackSDK has to be available to Ansible and to the Python interpreter on the host, where Ansible executes the module (target host). Please note, that under some circumstances Ansible might invoke a non-standard Python interpreter on the target host. Using Python version 3 is highly recommended for OpenstackSDK and strongly required from OpenstackSDK version 0.39.0.
NOTE
OpenstackSDK is better to be the last stable version. It should NOT be installed on Openstack nodes, but rather on operators host (aka "Ansible controller"). OpenstackSDK from last version supports operations on all Openstack cloud versions. Therefore OpenstackSDK module version doesn't have to match Openstack cloud version usually.
Installing the Collection from Ansible Galaxy
Before using the Openstack Cloud collection, you need to install the collection with the ansible-galaxy CLI:
ansible-galaxy collection install openstack.cloud
You can also include it in a requirements.yml file and install it through ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml using the format:
collections:
- name: openstack.cloud
Playbooks
To use a module from the Openstack Cloud collection, please reference the full namespace, collection name, and module name that you want to use:

Testing and Development
If you want to develop new content for this collection or improve what is already here, the easiest way to work on the collection is to clone it into one of the configured COLLECTIONS_PATHS, and work on it there.
Testing with ansible-test
We use ansible-test for sanity:
tox -e linters
