Hi all, we're very happy to announce that Ansible 2.3.0 has been released! This release includes many new features and improvements:
* Shared code for modules can now be placed in "module_utils" directories local to your playbook and/or roles to make it easier to share code across locally developed modules. * Allow async tasks to work when an action plugin is used. * Added a new "dense" callback to produce a more condensed output. * ~140 new modules, including: - A new group of modules to aid in automating your Ansible Tower instances. - A new group of modules for managing oVirt. - A few new modules for AWS, including support for KMS and ECS/ECR. In the network space: * We’ve introduced new performance upgrades and additional vendor support. For more information about what’s new with Ansible Networking, take a look at our blog post ( https://www.ansible.com/blog/networking-features-in-ansible-2-3), and check out the expanded list of Network Modules now available here: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/list_of_network_modules.html. * This release brings the total number of networking modules up to 267. For Windows: * Pipelining support for faster module execution (~20-50% performance boost for many modules). * Support for the "runas" become method to execute as a different user and allow for transparent second-hop authentication in many cases. * Many other improvements for existing WIndows modules such as check mode, and other fixes for the winrm connection type. * Fourteen new modules, including: - win_domain - win_domain_controller - win_domain_membership - win_path - win_region - win_shortcut Here is the official announcement on our website: https://www.ansible.com/press/advanced-network-automation-with-2-3 As always, this update is available via PyPi and releases.ansible.com now, and packages for distros will be available as soon as possible.
