+# deprecated-module
+
+This rule identifies deprecated modules in playbooks.
+You should avoid using deprecated modules because they are not maintained, which can pose a security risk.
+Additionally when a module is deprecated it is available temporarily with a plan for future removal.
+
+Refer to the [Ansible module index](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/index_module.html) for information about replacements and removal dates for deprecated modules.
+
+## Problematic Code
+
+```yaml
+---
+- name: Example playbook
+ hosts: localhost
+ tasks:
+ - name: Configure VLAN ID
+ ansible.netcommon.net_vlan: # <- Uses a deprecated module.
+ vlan_id: 20
+```
+
+## Correct Code
+
+```yaml
+---
+- name: Example playbook
+ hosts: localhost
+ tasks:
+ - name: Configure VLAN ID
+ dellemc.enterprise_sonic.sonic_vlans: # <- Uses a platform specific module.
+ config:
+ - vlan_id: 20
+```
