VyOS Ansible Collection 6.0.0 release

We are happy to announce the next major 6.0.0 release of the VyOS Ansible Collection. It is now available from Ansible Galaxy and is also a certified collection for the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.

If you are an active Ansible user, you surely noticed that the Ansible collection for VyOS lost its momentum at some point and remained stagnant for quite some time. Earlier this year, we had the repositories transferred to our organization on GitHub, took over the development, and formed a small team of dedicated maintainers — thanks to Gaige Paulsen and Evgeny Molotkov who joined us and took up the hard work!

Now, after over two years of community work and our own improvements and fixes, a new release of the vyos.vyos Ansible collection is finally available to all users!

This release brings proper support for the current 1.4 LTS release and the upcoming VyOS 1.5.

It also still fully supports VyOS 1.3.x but will be the last release to officially support it since VyOS 1.3.x reached its end of life this year. This release may still work for VyOS 1.2.x and older, but if you run into problems, you should switch to version 5.0.0, since it was the last version to officially support those legacy versions.
