Using this collection

You can call modules by their Fully Qualified Collection Namespace (FQCN), such as grafana.grafana.cloud_stack:

- name: Using grafana collection
  hosts: localhost
  tasks:
    - name: Create a Grafana Cloud stack
      grafana.grafana.cloud_stack:
        name: mystack
        stack_slug: mystack
        org_slug: myorg
        cloud_api_key: "{{ cloud_api_key }}"
        region: eu
        state: present

or you can add full namespace and collection name in the collections element in your playbook

- name: Using grafana collection
  hosts: localhost
  collection:
    - grafana.grafana
  tasks:
    - name: Create a Grafana Cloud stack
      cloud_stack:
        name: mystack
        stack_slug: mystack
        org_slug: myorg
        cloud_api_key: "{{ cloud_api_key }}"

Testing and Development

If you want to develop new content for this collection or improve what is already here, the easiest way to work on the collection is to clone it into one of the configured COLLECTIONS_PATHS, and work on it there.

Testing with `ansible-test`

We use ansible-test for sanity.

Releasing, Versioning and Deprecation

This collection follows Semantic Versioning. More details on versioning can be found in the Ansible docs.

We plan to regularly release new minor or bugfix versions once new features or bugfixes have been implemented.

Releasing the current major version on GitHub happens from the main branch by the GitHub Release Workflow Before the GitHub Release Workflow is run, Contributors should push the new version on Ansible Galaxy Manually.

We currently are not planning any deprecations or new major releases. The current landscape includes minor version updates for Module's documentation in 1.0.5.
