Ansible 7 Porting Guide
Ansible 7 is based on Ansible-core 2.14.
We suggest you read this page along with the Ansible 7 Changelog to understand what updates you may need to make.
Playbook
Variables are now evaluated lazily; only when they are actually used. For example, in ansible-core 2.14 an expression
{{ defined_variable or undefined_variable }}
does not fail onundefined_variable
if the first part ofor
is evaluated toTrue
as it is not needed to evaluate the second part. One particular case of a change in behavior to note is the task below which uses theundefined
test. Prior to version 2.14 this would result in a fatal error trying to access the undefined value in the dictionary. In 2.14 the assertion passes as the dictionary is evaluated as undefined through one of its undefined values:
- assert: that: - some_defined_dict_with_undefined_values is undefined vars: dict_value: 1 some_defined_dict_with_undefined_values: key1: value1 key2: '{{ dict_value }}' key3: '{{ undefined_dict_value }}'
Command Line
Python 3.9 on the controller node is a hard requirement for this release.
At startup the filesystem encoding and locale are checked to verify they are UTF-8. If not, the process exits with an error reporting the errant encoding. If you were previously using the
C
orPOSIX
locale, you may be able to useC.UTF-8
. If you were previously using a locale such asen_US.ISO-8859-1
, you may be able to useen_US.UTF-8
. For simplicity it may be easiest to export the appropriate locale using theLC_ALL
environment variable. An alternative to modifying your system locale is to run Python in UTF-8 mode; See the Python documentation for more information.

Porting Guide for v7.4.0
Breaking Changes
Ansible-core
ansible-test - Integration tests which depend on specific file permissions when running in an ansible-test managed host environment may require changes. Tests that require permissions other than
755
or644
may need to be updated to set the necessary permissions as part of the test run.
Major Changes
community.hrobot
firewall - Hetzner added output rules support to the firewall. This change unfortunately means that using old versions of the firewall module will always set the output rule list to empty, thus disallowing the server to send out packets (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/issues/75, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hrobot/pull/76).
community.vmware
Use true/false (lowercase) for boolean values in documentation and examples (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/issues/1660).
fortinet.fortios
Add annotations of member operation for every module.
Update
fortios.py
for higher performance;supports temporary session key and pre/post login banner;
update the examples on how to use member operation in Q&A.
purestorage.fusion
Patching of resource properties was brought to parity with underlying Python SDK, meaning the collection can create/update/delete all resource properties the SDK can
fusion_volume - fixed and reorganized, arguments changed
Deprecated Features
amazon.aws
support for passing both profile and security tokens through a mix of environment variables and parameters has been deprecated and support will be removed in release 6.0.0. After release 6.0.0 it will only be possible to pass either a profile or security tokens, regardless of mechanism used to pass them. To explicitly block a parameter coming from an environment variable pass an empty string as the parameter value. Support for passing profile and security tokens together was originally deprecated in release 1.2.0, however only partially implemented in release 5.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1355).
community.aws
ecs_service - In a release after 2024-06-01, tha default value of
purge_placement_constraints
will be change fromfalse
totrue
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1716).ecs_service - In a release after 2024-06-01, tha default value of
purge_placement_strategy
will be change fromfalse
totrue
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/1716).iam_role - All top level return values other than
iam_role
andchanged
have been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2023-12-01 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/issues/551).iam_role - In a release after 2023-12-01 the contents of
assume_role_policy_document
will no longer be converted from CamelCase to snake_case. Theassume_role_policy_document_raw
return value already returns the policy document in this future format (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/issues/551).iam_role_info - In a release after 2023-12-01 the contents of
assume_role_policy_document
will no longer be converted from CamelCase to snake_case. Theassume_role_policy_document_raw
return value already returns the policy document in this future format (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/issues/551).
community.hashi_vault
hashi_vault lookup - in
v5.0.0
duplicate term string options will raise an exception instead of showing a warning (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hashi_vault/issues/356).
purestorage.fusion
fusion_hw - hardware module is being removed as changing hardware type has never been supported by Pure Storage Fusion
fusion_info - nigs subset is deprecated in favor of network_interface_groups and will be removed in the version 1.7.0 (https://github.com/Pure-Storage-Ansible/Fusion-Collection/pull/46).
fusion_info - placements subset is deprecated in favor of placement_groups and will be removed in the version 1.7.0 (https://github.com/Pure-Storage-Ansible/Fusion-Collection/pull/62).
fusion_pg - placement_engine option is deprecated because Fusion API does not longer support this parameter It will be removed in the version 2.0.0 (https://github.com/Pure-Storage-Ansible/Fusion-Collection/pull/53).
fusion_se - parameters “addresses”, “gateway” and “network_interface_groups” are deprecated in favor of “iscsi” and will be removed in version 2.0.0
fusion_tn - tenant networks are being replaced by storage endpoints
`fusion_se`
and Network Interface Groups`fusion_nig`
Porting Guide for v7.3.0
Breaking Changes
hetzner.hcloud
inventory plugin - Python v3.5+ is now required.
Major Changes
kubernetes.core
refactor K8sAnsibleMixin into module_utils/k8s/ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/481).
Deprecated Features
Since the google.cloud collection seems to be maintained again, we cancelled the removal process. So contrary to an earlier announcement, this collection is NOT deprecated and will NOT be removed from Ansible 8 (https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/105).
community.general
gitlab_runner - the option
access_level
will lose its default value in community.general 8.0.0. From that version on, you have set this option toref_protected
explicitly, if you want to have a protected runner (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5925).
Porting Guide for v7.2.0
Added Collections
dellemc.powerflex (version 1.5.0)
dellemc.unity (version 1.5.0)
Known Issues
Ansible-core
ansible-test - Additional configuration may be required for certain container host and container combinations. Further details are available in the testing documentation.
ansible-test - Custom containers with
VOLUME
instructions may be unable to start, when previously the containers started correctly. Remove theVOLUME
instructions to resolve the issue. Containers with this condition will causeansible-test
to emit a warning.ansible-test - Systems with Podman networking issues may be unable to run containers, when previously the issue went unreported. Correct the networking issues to continue using
ansible-test
with Podman.ansible-test - Using Docker on systems with SELinux may require setting SELinux to permissive mode. Podman should work with SELinux in enforcing mode.
cisco.meraki
meraki_network - Updated documentation for local_status_page_enabled and remote_status_page_enabled as these no longer work.
Breaking Changes
community.general
ModuleHelper module utils - when the module sets output variables named
msg
,exception
,output
,vars
, orchanged
, the actual output will prefix those names with_
(underscore symbol) only when they clash with output variables generated by ModuleHelper itself, which only occurs when handling exceptions. Please note that this breaking change does not require a new major release since before this release, it was not possible to add such variables to the output due to a bug (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5765).
Major Changes
Ansible-core
ansible-test - Docker Desktop on WSL2 is now supported (additional configuration required).
ansible-test - Docker and Podman are now supported on hosts with cgroup v2 unified. Previously only cgroup v1 and cgroup v2 hybrid were supported.
ansible-test - Podman now works on container hosts without systemd. Previously only some containers worked, while others required rootfull or rootless Podman, but would not work with both. Some containers did not work at all.
ansible-test - Podman on WSL2 is now supported.
ansible-test - When additional cgroup setup is required on the container host, this will be automatically detected. Instructions on how to configure the host will be provided in the error message shown.
ansible.windows
Set the minimum Ansible version supported by this collection to Ansible 2.12
chocolatey.chocolatey
win_chocolatey - Allow users to select the TLS versions used for bootstrapping Chocolatey installation.

Known Issues
community.routeros
api_modify - when limits for entries in
queue tree
are defined as human readable - for example25M
-, the configuration will be correctly set in ROS, but the module will indicate the item is changed on every run even when there was no change done. This is caused by the ROS API which returns the number in bytes - for example25000000
(which is inconsistent with the CLI behavior). In order to mitigate that, the limits have to be defined in bytes (those will still appear as human readable in the ROS CLI) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.routeros/pull/131).api_modify, api_info -
routing ospf area
,routing ospf area range
,routing ospf instance

Breaking Changes
Ansible 7 requires Python 3.9 on the controller, same as ansible-core 2.14.
Ansible-core
Allow for lazy evaluation of Jinja2 expressions (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/56017)
The default ansible-galaxy role skeletons no longer contain .travis.yml files. You can configure ansible-galaxy to use a custom role skeleton that contains a .travis.yml file to continue using Galaxy’s integration with Travis CI.
ansible - At startup the filesystem encoding and locale are checked to verify they are UTF-8. If not, the process exits with an error reporting the errant encoding.
ansible - Increase minimum Python requirement to Python 3.9 for CLI utilities and controller code
ansible-test - At startup the filesystem encoding is checked to verify it is UTF-8. If not, the process exits with an error reporting the errant encoding.
ansible-test - At startup the locale is configured as
en_US.UTF-8
, with a fallback toC.UTF-8
. If neither encoding is available the process exits with an error. If the fallback is used, a warning is displayed. In previous versions theen_US.UTF-8
locale was always requested. However, no startup checking was performed to verify the locale was successfully configured.ansible-test validate-modules - Removed the
missing-python-doc
error code in validate modules,missing-documentation
is used instead for missing PowerShell module documentation.strategy plugins - Make
ignore_unreachable
to increaseignored
andok
and counter, notskipped
andunreachable
. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77690)
amazon.aws
Tags beginning with
aws:
will not be removed when purging tags, these tags are reserved by Amazon and may not be updated or deleted (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/817).amazon.aws collection - Support for ansible-core < 2.11 has been dropped (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/1087).
amazon.aws collection - The amazon.aws collection has dropped support for
botocore<1.21.0
andboto3<1.18.0
. Most modules will continue to work with older versions of the AWS SDK, however compatibility with older versions of the SDK is not guaranteed and will not be tested. When using older versions of the SDK a warning will be emitted by Ansible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/934).amazon.aws collection - the
profile
parameter is now mutually exclusive with theaws_access_key
,aws_secret_key
andsecurity_token
parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/834).aws_az_info - the module alias
aws_az_facts
was deprecated in Ansible 2.9 and has now been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/832).aws_s3 - the default value for
ensure overwrite
has been changed todifferent
instead ofalways
so that the module is idempotent by default (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/811).aws_ssm - on_denied and on_missing now both default to error, for consistency with both aws_secret and the base Lookup class (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/issues/617).
doc_fragments - remove minimum collection requirements from doc_fragments/aws.py and allow pulling those from doc_fragments/aws_boto3.py instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/985).
ec2 - The
ec2
module has been removed in release 4.0.0 and replaced by theec2_instance
module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/630).ec2_ami - the default value for

eni_id
andfilters
parameters is now enforced, previouslyfilters
would be ignored ifeni_id
was set (https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/pull/954).ec2_instance - the default value for

there, and setting it tostrict
had no effect (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/422).modules and plugins communicating directly with the Docker daemon - when connecting by SSH and not using
use_ssh_client=true
, reject unknown host keys instead of accepting them. This is only a breaking change relative to older community.docker 3.0.0 pre-releases or with respect to Docker SDK for Python < 6.0.0. Docker SDK for Python 6.0.0 will also include this change (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/434).

(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hashi_vault/issues/279).
community.vmware
Removed support for ansible-core version < 2.13.0.
vmware_dvs_portgroup - Add a new sub-option inherited to the in_traffic_shaping parameter. This means you can keep the setting as-is by not defining the parameter, but also that you have to define the setting as not inherited if you want to override it at the PG level (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/1483).
vmware_dvs_portgroup - Add a new sub-option inherited to the out_traffic_shaping parameter. This means you can keep the setting as-is by not defining the parameter, but also that you have to define the setting as not inherited if you want to override it at the PG level (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/1483).
vmware_dvs_portgroup - Change the type of net_flow to string to allow setting it implicitly to inherited or to keep the value as-is. This means you can keep the setting as-is by not defining the parameter, but also that while true or no still work, True or Off (uppercase) won’t (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/1483).
vmware_dvs_portgroup - Remove support for vSphere API less than 6.7.
vmware_dvs_portgroup - Remove the default for network_policy and add a new sub-option inherited. This means you can keep the setting as-is by not defining the parameter, but also that you have to define the setting as not inherited if you want to override it at the PG level (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/1483).

dellemc.enterprise_sonic
bgp_af - Add the route_advertise_list dictionary to the argspec to replace the deleted, obsolete advertise_prefix attribute used for SONiC 3.x images on the 1.x branch of this collection. This change corresponds to a SONiC 4.0 OC YANG REST compliance change for the BGP AF REST API. It enables specification of a route map in conjunction with each route advertisement prefix (https://github.com/ansible-collections/dellemc.enterprise_sonic/pull/63).
bgp_af - remove the obsolete ‘advertise_prefix’ attribute from argspec and config code. This and subsequent co-req replacement with the new route advertise list argument structure require corresponding changes in playbooks previoulsly used for configuring route advertise prefixes for SONiC 3.x images. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/dellemc.enterprise_sonic/pull/60)
bgp_neighbors - Replace the previously defined standalone “bfd” attribute with a bfd dictionary containing multiple attributes. This change corresponds to the revised SONiC 4.x implementation of OC YANG compatible REST APIs. Playbooks previously using the bfd attributes for SONiC 3.x images must be modified for useon SONiC 4.0 images to use the new definition for the bfd attribute argspec structure (https://github.com/ansible-collections/dellemc.enterprise_sonic/pull/72).
bgp_neighbors - Replace, for BGP peer groups, the previously defined standalone “bfd” attribute with a bfd dictionary containing multiple attributes. This change corresponds to the revised SONiC 4.x implementation of OC YANG compatible REST APIs. Playbooks previously using the bfd attributes for SONiC 3.x images must be modified for useon SONiC 4.0 images to use the new definition for the bfd attribute argspec structure (https://github.com/ansible-collections/dellemc.enterprise_sonic/pull/81).
Major Changes
Ansible-core
Move handler processing into new
PlayIterator
phase to use the configured strategy (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/65067)ansible - At startup the filesystem encoding and locale are checked to verify they are UTF-8. If not, the process exits with an error reporting the errant encoding.
ansible - Increase minimum Python requirement to Python 3.9 for CLI utilities and controller code
ansible-test - At startup the filesystem encoding is checked to verify it is UTF-8. If not, the process exits with an error reporting the errant encoding.
ansible-test - At startup the locale is configured as
en_US.UTF-8
, with a fallback toC.UTF-8

community.aws
community.aws collection - The amazon.aws collection has dropped support for
botocore<1.20.0
andboto3<1.17.0
. Most modules will continue to work with older versions of the AWS SDK, however compatibility with older versions of the SDK is not guaranteed and will not be tested. When using older versions of the SDK a warning will be emitted by Ansible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/956).
community.docker
The collection now contains vendored code from the Docker SDK for Python to talk to the Docker daemon. Modules and plugins using this code no longer need the Docker SDK for Python installed on the machine the module or plugin is running on (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/398).
docker_api connection plugin - no longer uses the Docker SDK for Python. It requires
requests
to be installed, and depending on the features used has some more requirements. If the Docker SDK for Python is installed, these requirements are likely met (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/414).docker_container - no longer uses the Docker SDK for Python. It requires
requests
to be installed, and depending on the features used has some more requirements. If the Docker SDK for Python is installed, these requirements are likely met (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/422).docker_container - the module was completely rewritten from scratch (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/422).
docker_container_exec - no longer uses the Docker SDK for Python. It requires

If the Docker SDK for Python is installed, these requirements are likely met (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/401).docker_container_info - no longer uses the Docker SDK for Python. It requires
requests
to be installed, and depending on the features used has some more requirements.

It requires
requests
to be installed, and depending on the features used has some more requirements. If the Docker SDK for Python is installed, these requirements are likely met (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/413).docker_host_info - no longer uses the Docker SDK for Python. It requires

requests
to be installed, and depending on the features used has some more requirements. If the Docker SDK for Python is installed, these requirements are likely met (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/406).docker_login - no longer uses the Docker SDK for Python. It requires

community.general
The internal structure of the collection was changed for modules and action plugins. These no longer live in a directory hierarchy ordered by topic, but instead are now all in a single (flat) directory. This has no impact on users assuming they did not use internal FQCNs. These will still work, but result in deprecation warnings. They were never officially supported and thus the redirects are kept as a courtsey, and this is not labelled as a breaking change. Note that for example the Ansible VScode plugin started recommending these internal names. If you followed its recommendation, you will now have to change back to the short names to avoid deprecation warnings, and potential errors in the future as these redirects will be removed in community.general 9.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5461).
newrelic_deployment - removed New Relic v1 API, added support for v2 API (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5341).
community.mysql
mysql_db - the
pipefail
argument’s default value will be changed totrue
in community.mysql 4.0.0. If your target machines do not usebash
as a default interpreter, setpipefail
tofalse
explicitly. However, we strongly recommend setting upbash
as a default andpipefail=true
as it will protect you from getting broken dumps you don’t know about (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/407).
community.network
The community.network collection no longer supports Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base 2.10. While we take no active measures to prevent usage, we will remove compatibility code and other compatility measures that will effectively prevent using most content from this collection with Ansible 2.9, and some content of this collection with ansible-base 2.10. Both Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base 2.10 will very soon be End of Life and if you are still using them, you should consider upgrading to ansible-core 2.11 or later as soon as possible (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.network/pull/426).

community.postgresql
postgresql_user - the
groups
argument has been deprecated and will be removed incommunity.postgresql 3.0.0
. Please use thepostgresql_membership
module to specify group/role memberships instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.postgresql/issues/277).
