Project updates :hammer_and_wrench:

docs.ansible.com

Oranod contributed

We’re (still) moving to Read The Docs!

Before the summer holidays, the Ansible community team at Red Hat is announced our plans to migrate the docs.ansible.com subdomain to Read The Docs (RTD) hosting in a forum post. These changes should be transparent to you and will not require you to update any bookmarks or do anything differently. It’s still the same great community documentation but better! This move will give us some new features and allow us to improve the documentation experience for you.

We’ve got the legacy-controller-docs.ansible.com domain set up so that the Automation Controller documentation has a new home and remains available after the migration to RTD. And we’re getting close to having all the other pieces in place before we switch things over and point the docs.ansible.com to RTD hosting. So stay tuned for more details coming soon.

In the meantime, head over to the forum, read through our post, and let us know in the comments if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!

community.vmware

mariolenz shared

The community.vmware collection currently doesn’t have any integration tests. We’re looking for help to get them back again since they’ve been extremely valuable. If you’re interested in this collection and / or know about implementing CI pipelines, especially for either Ansible community collections or vSphere, we would appreciate your assistance very much!

Ansible Release Management Mentorship Program

Hello community,

We are thrilled to announce the successful launch of the inaugural Ansible Release Management Mentorship Program, 2025!

The community’s response was truly overwhelming. Just six days after announcing the program, we kicked off with 8 contributors/mentees from around the globe.

This first cohort is incredibly diverse:

  • They come from various professional and educational backgrounds, from sysadmins to programmers and experienced professionals to students.
  • The members belong to different time zones and collectively speak 5 different languages.

Participants of the Ansible Release Management Mentorship Program, 2025:

We are incredibly humbled to have all of you.
