If you have any questions or content you’d like to share, you’re welcome to chat with us in the [Ansible Social room on Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#social:ansible.com), and mention [`newsbot`](https://matrix.to/#/@newsbot:ansible.im) to have your news item tagged for review for the next weekly issue! ## Red Hat Summit 2026 Join us for [Red Hat Summit](https://www.redhat.com/en/summit?sc_id=RHCTE0250000464460) in Atlanta, GA | May 11-14, 2026. ## General news updates 🔈 ### Signed Commits Required for Ansible GitHub [gundalow](https://matrix.to/#/@gundalow:ansible.im) said > ⚠ Git signed commits required for [Ansible · GitHub](http://github.com/ansible) > From Monday 16th March required signed commits before PRs can be merged into any repo in the Ansible GitHub Org. > > See the [Requiring signed commits](https://forum.ansible.com/t/important-github-com-ansible-now-requires-signed-commits/45520) forum post for step-by-step guide ## Major new releases 🏆 ### Ansible Community Package [↗](https://github.com/ansible-collections) The `Ansible` package includes `ansible-core` and is a batteries-included package that provides a curated set of Ansible collections. See the [Ansible roadmaps](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible-core/devel/roadmap/ansible_core_roadmap_index.html) for future release plans. ### Chocolatey Collection Possibly Unmaintained [mariolenz](https://matrix.to/#/@mariolenz:matrix.org) said > It looks like the [chocolatey.chocolatey](https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey-ansible) collection is effectively unmaintained. According to the current [Ansible Community Package Collections Removal Process](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_package_removal.html#identifying-and-removing-an-unmaintained-collection-that-has-not-been-deprecated-by-its-maintainers), we consider removing it in a future version of the Ansible Community Package. Please see [Unmaintained collection: chocolatey.chocolatey](https://forum.ansible.com/t/45556) for more information or to announce that you’re interested in taking over the maintenance of (a fork of) `chocolatey.chocolatey`. > > At least one month after this announcement appears here and in the [collection’s issue tracker](https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey-ansible/issues/194), the Ansible Community Steering Committee will vote on whether this collection is considered unmaintained and will be removed, or whether it will be kept. If it will be removed, this will happen earliest in Ansible Community Package 15. Please note that you can still manually install the collection with `ansible-galaxy collection install chocolatey.chocolatey` even when it has been removed from Ansible Community Package. ## Collection updates 🪄 ### New infra.controller\_configuration Release [Sean Sullivan](https://matrix.to/#/@ssulliva:matrix.org) said > infra.controller\_configuration 3.2.5 has been released. > This Ansible collection allows for easy interaction with an AWX or Ansible Controller server via Ansible roles using the AWX/Controller collection modules. > Visit [GitHub - redhat-cop/infra.controller\_configuration: ansible collection for standardizing configuring AAP 2.4 and earlier · GitHub](https://github.com/redhat-cop/infra.controller_configuration/) for more information and updates. ### New community.mysql Release [andersson007\_](https://matrix.to/#/@andersson007_:matrix.org) said > The [community.mysql](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/community/mysql/) collection version [4.2.0](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/blob/main/CHANGELOG.rst#v4-2-0) has been released! ### New infra.aap\_configuration Release [Sean Sullivan](https://matrix.to/#/@ssulliva:matrix.org) said > infra.aap\_configuration 4.3.0 has been released. > This Ansible collection allows for easy interaction with Ansible Automation Platform via Ansible roles using the supported collections modules. > Visit [GitHub - redhat-cop/infra.aap\_configuration: A collection of roles to manage Ansible Automation Platform 2.5+ with code · GitHub](https://github.com/redhat-cop/aap_configuration/) for more information and updates. ### New infra.controller\_configuration Release [Sean Sullivan](https://matrix.to/#/@ssulliva:matrix.org) said > infra.controller\_configuration 3.2.4 has been released. > This Ansible collection allows for easy interaction with an AWX or Ansible Controller server via Ansible roles using the AWX/Controller collection modules. > Visit [GitHub - redhat-cop/infra.controller\_configuration: ansible collection for standardizing configuring AAP 2.4 and earlier · GitHub](https://github.com/redhat-cop/infra.controller_configuration/) for more information and updates. ### Certified Collections Weekly Update [dbrennand](https://matrix.to/#/@dbrenuk:matrix.org) shared > Certified collections updated this week: > > - [amazon.aws:11.2.0](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/amazon/aws?sc_cid=RHCTE0250000461626) > - [ansible.windows:3.5.0](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/ansible/windows?sc_cid=RHCTE0250000461626) > - [arista.avd:6.1.0](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/arista/avd?sc_cid=RHCTE0250000461626) > - [check\_point.mgmt:6.9.0](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/check_point/mgmt?sc_cid=RHCTE0250000461626) > - [cisco.mso:2.13.0](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/cisco/mso?sc_cid=RHCTE0250000461626) > - [cisco.nd:1.5.0](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/cisco/nd?sc_cid=RHCTE0250000461626) > - [dellemc.powermax:4.0.2](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/dellemc/powermax?sc_cid=RHCTE0250000461626) > - [dellemc.powerscale:3.9.1](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/dellemc/powerscale?sc_cid=RHCTE0250000461626) > - [dellemc.powerstore:3.8.1](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/dellemc/powerstore?sc_cid=RHCTE0250000461626) > - [hashicorp.vault:1.1.1](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/hashicorp/vault?sc_cid=RHCTE0250000461626) > - [redhat.satellite:5.10.0](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/collection/redhat/satellite?sc_cid=RHCTE0250000461626) ## Community events and meetups 📅 ### Ansible London Meetup Recap [dbrennand](https://matrix.to/#/@dbrenuk:matrix.org) contributed > The Ansible London meetup took place on March 12 2026 and it was a great evening of talks, discussions and pizza! 🍕 Thank you to everyone who attended!
