Overview

Beginning with Ansible 2.9, the Ansible Content Collection subsystem was included as fully supported by Red Hat, and the following certified content should be using this packaging format and distributed via Ansible Automation Hub.

Certified content may be downloaded and installed from two different delivery locations:

Ansible Automation Hub
- Ansible 2.9 and newer, contains Collections
The legacy Ansible distribution
- Ansible 2.9 and older, contains Modules only

NOTES:

Ansible Automation Hub requires a valid Red Hat Ansible subscription for access.
A subset of the certified collections below are developed, tested, built, delivered, and supported by Red Hat. Additional supportability claims for these collections may be provided under the "Maintained and Supported By" column below for more information.
For issues that involve both Red Hat and a third party (see the "Maintained and Supported By" column below), when opening a case with Red Hat, a customer may be asked to open a ticket with the third party as well for additional support/collaboration through TSANet. For more information consult the "Collaboration between partners" section of Best practices for engaging with Red Hat Support.
For information on supported versions of Ansible, see the AAP Life Cycle.

Certified Content in Ansible Automation Hub

All certified content can be viewed in the Red Hat Catalog. Each collection entry contains information on the latest available version, collection documentation, and which version of AAP it has been certified for.

Validated Content in Ansible Automation Hub

During AnsibleFest 2022, we announced the launch of Ansible validated content. This new initiative is focused on delivering an expert-led approach for automating your platform portfolio across infrastructure, networking, cloud, security, and edge use cases.

Ansible validated content is a new set of collections containing pre-built YAML content (such as playbooks or roles) to address the most common automation use cases. You can use Ansible validated content out-of-the-box or as a learning opportunity to develop your skills. It's a trusted starting point to bootstrap your automation: use it, customize it, and learn from it.

Due to the focus on customization and the intent for this content to be modified, it is not subject to the same support requirements as our certified collections. To this end, any issues with this content should be filed directly at the source repository for that collection.

Event Driven Ansible Content in Ansible Automation Hub

Many of these integrations are in the area of event-source plugins that make it possible for Event-Driven Ansible’s decisioning capability to receive intelligence about a condition in the IT environment that needs a response.
