Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated Ansible package that fixes several bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

Ansible is a simple model-driven configuration management, multi-node deployment, and remote-task execution system. Ansible works over SSH and does not require any software or daemons to be installed on remote nodes. Extension modules can be written in any language and are transferred to managed machines automatically.

The Ansible packages have been upgraded to upstream version 2.4.1, which provides a number of bug fixes over the previous version. (BZ#1509360). In particular, it fixes a bug in the yum module (BZ#1508733).

Users of Ansible are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these bugs.
