This repo hosts the `community.kubernetes` Ansible Collection.

As this is an independent Collection, it can be released on its own release cadence.
The collection includes a variety of Ansible content to help automate the management of applications in Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters, as well as the provisioning and maintenance of clusters themselves.

## Notes

Nice touch to list there here. Once the Collections docs are build we can update these link.

## Installation and Usage

### Installing the Collection from Ansible Galaxy

Before using the Kuberentes collection, you need to install it with the Ansible Galaxy CLI:

ansible-galaxy collection install community.kubernetes

You can also include it in a `requirements.yml` file and install it via `ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml`, using the format:

```yaml
---
collections:
- name: community.kubernetes
version: 1.0.0
```

### Using modules from the Kubernetes Collection in your playbooks

You can either call modules by their Fully Qualified Collection Namespace (FQCN), like `community.kubernetes.k8s_info`, or you can call modules by their short name if you list the `community.kubernetes` collection in the playbook's `collections`, like so:

I'm working on some docs, once done we can link to FQCN.


```yaml
---
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
connection: local

collections:
- community.kubernetes

tasks:
- name: Get a list of all pods in the kube-system namespace.
k8s_info:
kind: Pod
namespace: kube-system
register: system_pods

- name: Display pod information for pods in kube-system namespace.
debug:
var: system_pods.resources | count

```

For documentation on how to use individual modules and other content included in this collection, please see the links in the 'Included content' section earlier in this README.

## Testing and Development

If you want to develop new content for this collection or improve what's already here, the easiest way to work on the collection is to clone it into one of the configured [`COLLECTIONS_PATHS`](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html#collections-paths), and work on it there.

The `tests` directory contains configuration for running sanity and integration tests using [`ansible-test`](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/testing_integration.html).

You can run the collection's test suites with the commands:

ansible-test sanity --docker -v --color
ansible-test integration --docker -v --color
