Chapter 5. Ansible content migration
If you are migrating from an ansible-core version to ansible-core 2.13, consider reviewing Ansible core Porting Guides to familiarize yourself with changes and updates between each version. When reviewing the Ansible core porting guides, ensure that you select the latest version of ansible-core or devel, which is located at the top left column of the guide.
For a list of fully supported and certified Ansible Content Collections, see Ansible Automation hub on console.redhat.com.
5.1. Migrating your Ansible playbooks and roles to Core 2.13
When you are migrating from non collection-based content to collection-based content, you should use the Fully Qualified Collection Names (FQCN) in playbooks and roles to avoid unexpected behavior.
Example playbook with FQCN:
- name: get some info
amazon.aws.ec2_vpc_net_info:
region: "{{ec2_region}}"
register: all_the_info
delegate_to: localhost
run_once: true
If you are using ansible-core modules and are not calling a module from a different Collection, you should use the FQCN ansible.builtin.copy.
Example module with FQCN:
- name: copy file with owner and permissions ansible.builtin.copy: src: /srv/myfiles/foo.conf dest: /etc/foo.conf owner: foo group: foo mode: '0644'
