Hello Community,
I’m running Ansible version 2.3.2, and I have a limited number of Azure modules installed on my Ansible host.
Can someone let me know if there is a way to update / load all the available modules on my Ansible host without upgrading to version 2.5.2
I appreciate the easiest option would be to upgrade, but at this moment in time, I’m not able to upgrade.
Thanks
Carlton
You could try putting all the azure modules in your /etc/ansible/library (or define a different location for the ‘library’ setting in your ansible.cfg).
However you’d be running in a totally unknown configuration so the moment you hit issues you’ll have to debug them yourself as its unlikely you’ll find anyone else who has the same set up as you.
FWIW our 2.3.2 to 2.5 migration was the most straightforward one I have done (I started on 1.7.2). The biggest amount of changes I had were actually handled by the script mentioned here: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.5/porting_guides/porting_guide_2.5.html#jinja-tests-used-as-filters
Maybe its worth having a 2.5 installation side by side with your 2.3.2 installation, getting your azure playbooks working in 2.5 and then porting over your existing playbooks.
Hope this helps,
Jon
