+# Contributing
+
+## Getting Started
+
+General information about setting up your Python environment, testing modules,
+Ansible coding styles, and more can be found in the [Ansible Community Guide](
+https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/index.html).
+
+
+## Kubernetes Collections
+
+### kubernetes.core
+
+This collection contains modules and plugins contributed and maintained by the Ansible Kubernetes
+community.
+
+New modules and plugins developed by the community should be proposed to `kubernetes.core`.
+
+## Submitting Issues
+All software has bugs, and the `kubernetes.core` collection is no exception. When you find a bug,
+you can help tremendously by [telling us about it](https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/new/choose).
+
+If you should discover that the bug you're trying to file already exists in an issue,
+you can help by verifying the behavior of the reported bug with a comment in that
+issue, or by reporting any additional information.
+
+## Pull Requests
+
+All modules MUST have integration tests for new features.
+Bug fixes for modules that currently have integration tests SHOULD have tests added.
+New modules should be submitted to the [kubernetes.core](https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core) collection and MUST have integration tests.
+
+Expected test criteria:
+* Resource creation under check mode
+* Resource creation
+* Resource creation again (idempotency) under check mode
+* Resource creation again (idempotency)
+* Resource modification under check mode
+* Resource modification
+* Resource modification again (idempotency) under check mode
+* Resource modification again (idempotency)
+* Resource deletion under check mode
+* Resource deletion
+* Resource deletion (of a non-existent resource) under check mode
+* Resource deletion (of a non-existent resource)
+
+Where modules have multiple parameters we recommend running through the 4-step modification cycle for each parameter the module accepts, as well as a modification cycle where as most, if not all, parameters are modified at the same time.
+
+For general information on running the integration tests see the
+[Integration Tests page of the Module Development Guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/testing_integration.html#testing-integration),
+especially the section on configuration for cloud tests. For questions about writing tests the Ansible Kubernetes community can be found on Libera.Chat IRC as detailed below.
+
+### Updating documentation
+
+Modules and plugins documentation is autogenerated using ``collection_prep_add_docs`` command from [collection_prep](https://github.com/ansible-network/collection_prep) package.
+
+You can install ``collection_prep`` using
+
+    # git clone https://github.com/ansible-network/collection_prep
+    # cd collection_prep
+    # pip install .
+
+After installation, you can update documentation
+
+    # collection_prep_add_docs -p /<PATH_OF_COLLECTION>/kubernetes/core
+
+Review the changes and create a pull request using updated files.
+
+### Code of Conduct
+The `kubernetes.core` collection follows the Ansible project's
+[Code of Conduct](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/code_of_conduct.html).
+Please read and familiarize yourself with this document.
+
+### IRC
+Our IRC channels may require you to register your nickname. If you receive an error when you connect, see
+[Libera.Chat's Nickname Registration guide](https://libera.chat/guides/registration) for instructions.
+
+The `#ansible-kubernetes` channel on [libera.chat](https://libera.chat/) IRC is the main and official place to discuss use and development of the `kubernetes.core` collection.
+
+For more information about Ansible's Kubernetes integration, browse the resources in the [Kubernetes Working Group](https://github.com/ansible/community/wiki/Kubernetes) Community wiki page.

+                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+                       Version 3, 29 June 2007
+
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+                            Preamble
+
+  The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
+software and other kinds of works.
+
+  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
+to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
+the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
+share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
+software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
+GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
+any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
+want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
+these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
+certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
+you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
+freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
+or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
+know their rights.
+
+  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
+(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
+giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
+
+  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
+that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
+authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
+changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
+authors of previous versions.
+
+  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
+modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
+can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
+protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
+pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
+use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
+have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
+products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
+stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
+of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
+
+  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
+States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
+software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
+avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
+make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
+patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+  0. Definitions.
+
+  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
+works, such as semiconductor masks.
+
+  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
+License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
+"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
+
+  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
+in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
+exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
+earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
+
+  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
+on the Program.
+
+  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
+permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
+infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
+computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
+distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
+public, and in some countries other activities as well.
+
+  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
+parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
+a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
+
+  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
+to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
+feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
+tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
+extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
+work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
+the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
+menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
+
+  1. Source Code.
+
+  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
+for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
+form of a work.
+
+  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
+standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
+interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
+is widely used among developers working in that language.
+
+  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
+than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
+packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
+Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
+Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
+implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
+"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
+(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
+(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
+produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
+
+  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
+the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
+work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
+control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
+System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
+programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
+which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
+includes interface definition files associated with source files for
+the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
+linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
+such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
+subprograms and other parts of the work.
+
+  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
+can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
+Source.
+
+  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
+same work.
+
+  2. Basic Permissions.
+
+  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
+copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
+conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
+permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
+covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
+content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
+rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
+
+  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
+convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
+in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
+of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
+with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
+the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
+not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
+for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
+and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
+your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
+
+  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
+the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
+makes it unnecessary.
+
+  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
+
+  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
+measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
+11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
+similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
+measures.
+
+  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
+circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
+is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
+the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
+modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
+users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
+technological measures.
+
+  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+
+  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
+receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
+keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
+non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
+keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
+recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
+and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
+
+  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+
+  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
+produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
+terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
+    it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
+    released under this License and any conditions added under section
+    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
+    "keep intact all notices".
+
+    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
+    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
+    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
+    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
+    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
+    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
+    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
+    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
+    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
+    work need not make them do so.
+
+  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
+works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
+and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
+in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
+"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
+used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
+beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
+in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
+parts of the aggregate.
+
+  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+
+  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
+of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
+machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
+in one of these ways:
+
+    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
+    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
+    customarily used for software interchange.
+
+    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
+    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
+    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
+    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
+    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
+    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
+    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
+    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
+    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
+    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
+    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
+    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
+    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
+    with subsection 6b.
+
+    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
+    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
+    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
+    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
+    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
+    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
+    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
+    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
+    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
+    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
+    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
+    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
+    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
+    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
+    charge under subsection 6d.
+
+  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
+from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
+included in conveying the object code work.
+
+  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
+tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
+or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
+into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
+doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
+product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
+typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
+of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
+actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
+is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
+commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
+the only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
+procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
+and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
+a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
+suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
+code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
+modification has been made.
+
+  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
+specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
+part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
+User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
+fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
+Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
+by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
+if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
+modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
+been installed in ROM).
+
+  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
+requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
+for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
+the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
+network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
+adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
+protocols for communication across the network.
+
+  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
+in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
+documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
+source code form), and must require no special password or key for
+unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+  7. Additional Terms.
+
+  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
+License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
+Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
+be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
+that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
+apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
+under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
+this License without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
+remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
+it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
+removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
+additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
+for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
+add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
+that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
+    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
+    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
+    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
+    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
+    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
+
+    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
+    authors of the material; or
+
+    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
+    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
+    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
+    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
+    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
+    those licensors and authors.
+
+  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
+restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
+received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
+governed by this License along with a term that is a further
+restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
+a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
+License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
+of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
+not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
+must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
+additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
+where to find the applicable terms.
+
+  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
+form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
+the above requirements apply either way.
+
+  8. Termination.
+
+  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
+provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
+modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
+this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
+paragraph of section 11).
+
+  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
+license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
+provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
+finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
+holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
+prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
+reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
+violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
+received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
+copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
+your receipt of the notice.
+
+  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
+licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
+this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
+reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
+material under section 10.
+
+  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+
+  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
+run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
+occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
+to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
+nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
+modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
+not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
+covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+
+  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
+receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
+propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
+for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
+organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
+organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
+work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
+transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
+licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
+give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
+Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
+the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
+
+  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
+rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
+not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
+rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
+any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
+sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+  11. Patents.
+
+  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
+License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
+work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
+
+  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
+owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
+hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
+by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
+but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
+consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
+purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
+patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
+this License.
+
+  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
+patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
+make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
+propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
+agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
+(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
+sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
+party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
+patent against the party.
+
+  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
+and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
+to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
+publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
+then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
+available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
+patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
+consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
+license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
+actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
+covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
+in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
+country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
+arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
+covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
+receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
+or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
+you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
+work and works based on it.
+
+  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
+the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
+conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
+specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
+work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
+in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
+to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
+the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
+parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
+patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
+conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
+for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
+contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
+or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
+any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
+otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+
+  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
+covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
+not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
+to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
+the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
+License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+  13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
+permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
+under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
+combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
+License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
+but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
+section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
+combination as such.
+
+  14. Revised Versions of this License.
+
+  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
+the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
+Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
+Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
+option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
+version or of any later version published by the Free Software
+Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
+GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
+by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
+versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
+public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
+to choose that version for the Program.
+
+  Later license versions may give you additional or different
+permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
+author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
+later version.
+
+  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+
+  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
+APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
+HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
+OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
+THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
+IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
+ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  16. Limitation of Liability.
+
+  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
+THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
+GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
+USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
+DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
+PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
+EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
+SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
+
+  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
+above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
+reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
+an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
+Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
+copy of the Program in return for a fee.
+
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+    along with this program.  If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+  If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
+notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+    <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
+might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
+
+  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
+if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
+For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
+<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+  The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
+into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
+may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
+the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
+Public License instead of this License.  But first, please read
+<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html>.

+# Kubernetes Collection for Ansible
+
+[![CI](https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/workflows/CI/badge.svg?event=push)](https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/actions) [![Codecov](https://img.shields.io/codecov/c/github/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core)](https://codecov.io/gh/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core)
+
+This repository hosts the `kubernetes.core` (formerly known as `community.kubernetes`) Ansible Collection.
+
+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.
+
+<!--start requires_ansible-->
+## Ansible version compatibility
+
+This collection has been tested against following Ansible versions: **>=2.9.17**.
+
+For collections that support Ansible 2.9, please ensure you update your `network_os` to use the
+fully qualified collection name (for example, `cisco.ios.ios`).
+Plugins and modules within a collection may be tested with only specific Ansible versions.
+A collection may contain metadata that identifies these versions.
+PEP440 is the schema used to describe the versions of Ansible.
+<!--end requires_ansible-->
+
+## Python Support
+
+* Collection supports 3.6+
+
+Note: Python2 is deprecated from [1st January 2020](https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/). Please switch to Python3.
+
+## Kubernetes Version Support
+
+This collection supports Kubernetes versions >=1.19.

+
+## Installation and Usage
+
+### Installing the Collection from Ansible Galaxy
+
+Before using the Kubernetes collection, you need to install it with the Ansible Galaxy CLI:
+
+    ansible-galaxy collection install kubernetes.core
+
+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: kubernetes.core
+    version: 2.4.0
+```
+
+### Installing the Kubernetes Python Library
+
+Content in this collection requires the [Kubernetes Python client](https://pypi.org/project/kubernetes/) to interact with Kubernetes' APIs. You can install it with:
+
+    pip3 install kubernetes
+
+### Using modules from the Kubernetes Collection in your playbooks
+
+It's preferable to use content in this collection using their Fully Qualified Collection Namespace (FQCN), for example `kubernetes.core.k8s_info`:
+
+```yaml
+---
+- hosts: localhost
+  gather_facts: false
+  connection: local
+
+  tasks:
+    - name: Ensure the myapp Namespace exists.
+      kubernetes.core.k8s:
+        api_version: v1
+        kind: Namespace
+        name: myapp
+        state: present
+
+    - name: Ensure the myapp Service exists in the myapp Namespace.
+      kubernetes.core.k8s:
+        state: present
+        definition:
+          apiVersion: v1
+          kind: Service
+          metadata:
+            name: myapp
+            namespace: myapp
+          spec:
+            type: LoadBalancer
+            ports:
+            - port: 8080
+              targetPort: 8080
+            selector:
+              app: myapp
+
+    - name: Get a list of all Services in the myapp namespace.
+      kubernetes.core.k8s_info:
+        kind: Service
+        namespace: myapp
+      register: myapp_services
+
+    - name: Display number of Services in the myapp namespace.
+      debug:
+        var: myapp_services.resources | count
+```
+
+If upgrading older playbooks which were built prior to Ansible 2.10 and this collection's existence, you can also define `collections` in your play and refer to this collection's modules as you did in Ansible 2.9 and below, as in this example:
+
+```yaml
+---
+- hosts: localhost
+  gather_facts: false
+  connection: local
+
+  collections:
+    - kubernetes.core
+
+  tasks:
+    - name: Ensure the myapp Namespace exists.
+      k8s:
+        api_version: v1
+        kind: Namespace
+        name: myapp
+        state: present
+```
+
+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.
+
+## Ansible Turbo mode Tech Preview
+
+
+The ``kubernetes.core`` collection supports Ansible Turbo mode as a tech preview via the ``cloud.common`` collection. By default, this feature is disabled. To enable Turbo mode for modules, set the environment variable `ENABLE_TURBO_MODE=1` on the managed node. For example:
+
+```yaml
+---
+- hosts: remote
+  environment:
+    ENABLE_TURBO_MODE: 1
+  tasks:
+    ...
+```
+
+To enable Turbo mode for k8s lookup plugin, set the environment variable `ENABLE_TURBO_MODE=1` on the managed node. This is not working when
+defined in the playbook using `environment` keyword as above, you must set it using `export ENABLE_TURBO_MODE=1`.
+
+Please read more about Ansible Turbo mode - [here](https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/blob/main/docs/ansible_turbo_mode.rst).
+
+## 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.
+
+See [Contributing to kubernetes.core](CONTRIBUTING.md).
+
+### Testing with `ansible-test`
+
+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:
+
+    make test-sanity
+    make test-integration
+    make test-unit
+
+### Testing with `molecule`
+
+There are also integration tests in the `molecule` directory which are meant to be run against a local Kubernetes cluster, e.g. using [KinD](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io) or [Minikube](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io). To setup a local cluster using KinD and run Molecule:
+
+    kind create cluster
+    make test-molecule
+
+## Publishing New Versions
+
+Releases are automatically built and pushed to Ansible Galaxy for any new tag. Before tagging a release, make sure to do the following:
+
+  1. Update the version in the following places:
+     1. The `version` in `galaxy.yml`
+     2. This README's `requirements.yml` example
+     3. The `VERSION` in `Makefile`
+  2. Update the CHANGELOG:
+     1. Make sure you have [`antsibull-changelog`](https://pypi.org/project/antsibull-changelog/) installed.
+     2. Make sure there are fragments for all known changes in `changelogs/fragments`.
+     3. Run `antsibull-changelog release`.
+  3. Commit the changes and create a PR with the changes. Wait for tests to pass, then merge it once they have.
+  4. Tag the version in Git and push to GitHub.
+
+After the version is published, verify it exists on the [Kubernetes Collection Galaxy page](https://galaxy.ansible.com/kubernetes/core).
+
+The process for uploading a supported release to Automation Hub is documented separately.
+

+Ansible Turbo mode
+******************
+
+Following document provides overview of Ansible Turbo mode in ``kubernetes.core`` collection.
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 1
+
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+- A brief introduction about Ansible Turbo mode in ``kuberentes.core`` collection.
+- Ansible Turbo mode is an optional performance optimization. It can be enabled by installing the cloud.common collection and setting the ``ENABLE_TURBO_MODE`` environment variable.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+The following requirement is needed on the host that executes this module.
+
+- The ``cloud.common`` collection (https://github.com/ansible-collections/cloud.common)
+
+You will also need to set the environment variable ``ENABLE_TURBO_MODE=1`` on the managed host. This can be done in the same ways you would usually do so, for example::
+
+  ---
+  - hosts: remote
+    environment:
+      ENABLE_TURBO_MODE: 1
+    tasks:
+      ...
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+You can install ``cloud.common`` collection using following command::
+
+    # ansible-galaxy collection install cloud.common
+
+
+Current situation without Ansible Turbo mode
+============================================
+
+The traditional execution flow of an Ansible module includes the following steps:
+
+- Upload of a ZIP archive with the module and its dependencies
+- Execution of the module
+- Ansible collects the results once the script is finished
+
+These steps happen for each task of a playbook, and on every host.
+
+Most of the time, the execution of a module is fast enough for
+the user. However, sometime the module requires significant amount of time,
+just to initialize itself. This is a common situation with the API based modules.
+
+A classic initialization involves the following steps:
+
+- Load a Python library to access the remote resource (via SDK)
+- Open a client
+    - Load a bunch of Python modules.
+    - Request a new TCP connection.
+    - Create a session.
+    - Authenticate the client.
+
+All these steps are time consuming and the same operations will be running again and again.
+
+For instance, here:
+
+- ``import openstack``: takes 0.569s
+- ``client = openstack.connect()``: takes 0.065s
+- ``client.authorize()``: takes 1.360s,
+
+These numbers are from test running against VexxHost public cloud.
+
+In this case, it's a 2s-ish overhead per task. If the playbook
+comes with 10 tasks, the execution time cannot go below 20s.
+
+How Ansible Turbo Module improve the situation
+==============================================
+
+``AnsibleTurboModule`` is actually a class that inherites from
+the standard ``AnsibleModule`` class that your modules probably
+already use.
+The big difference is that when a module starts, it also spawns
+a little Python daemon. If a daemon already exists, it will just
+reuse it.
+All the module logic is run inside this Python daemon. This means:
+
+- Python modules are actually loaded one time
+- Ansible module can reuse an existing authenticated session.
+
+The background service
+======================
+
+The daemon kills itself after 15s, and communication are done
+through an Unix socket.
+It runs in one single process and uses ``asyncio`` internally.
+Consequently you can use the ``async`` keyword in your Ansible module.
+This will be handy if you interact with a lot of remote systems
+at the same time.
+
+Security impact
+===============
+
+``ansible_module.turbo`` open an Unix socket to interact with the background service.
+We use this service to open the connection toward the different target systems.
+
+This is similar to what SSH does with the sockets.
+
+Keep in mind that:
+
+- All the modules can access the same cache. Soon an isolation will be done at the collection level (https://github.com/ansible-collections/cloud.common/pull/17)
+- A task can load a different version of a library and impact the next tasks.
+- If the same user runs two ``ansible-playbook`` at the same time, they will have access to the same cache.
+
+When a module stores a session in a cache, it's a good idea to use a hash of the authentication information to identify the session.
+
+Error management
+================
+
+``ansible_module.turbo`` uses exceptions to communicate a result back to the module.
+
+- ``EmbeddedModuleFailure`` is raised when ``json_fail()`` is called.
+- ``EmbeddedModuleSuccess`` is raised in case of success and returns the result to the origin module process.
+
+These exceptions are defined in ``ansible_collections.cloud.common.plugins.module_utils.turbo.exceptions``.
+You can raise ``EmbeddedModuleFailure`` exception yourself, for instance from a module in ``module_utils``.
+
+.. note:: Be careful with the ``except Exception:`` blocks.
+    Not only they are bad practice, but also may interface with this
+    mechanism.
+
+
+Troubleshooting
+===============
+
+You may want to manually start the server. This can be done with the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+  PYTHONPATH=$HOME/.ansible/collections python -m ansible_collections.cloud.common.plugins.module_utils.turbo.server --socket-path $HOME/.ansible/tmp/turbo_mode.kubernetes.core.socket
+
+You can use the ``--help`` argument to get a list of the optional parameters.

+
+Introduction
+============
+
+The `kubernetes.core collection <https://galaxy.ansible.com/kubernetes/core>`_ offers several modules and plugins for orchestrating Kubernetes.
+
+Requirements
+============
+
+To use the modules, you'll need the following:
+
+- Ansible 2.9.17 or latest installed
+- `Kubernetes Python client <https://pypi.org/project/kubernetes/>`_  installed on the host that will execute the modules.
+
+
+Installation
+============
+
+The Kubernetes modules are part of the Ansible Kubernetes collection.
+
+To install the collection, run the following:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ ansible-galaxy collection install kubernetes.core
+
+
+Authenticating with the API
+===========================
+
+By default the Kubernetes Rest Client will look for ``~/.kube/config``, and if found, connect using the active context. You can override the location of the file using the ``kubeconfig`` parameter, and the context, using the ``context`` parameter.
+
+Basic authentication is also supported using the ``username`` and ``password`` options. You can override the URL using the ``host`` parameter. Certificate authentication works through the ``ssl_ca_cert``, ``cert_file``, and ``key_file`` parameters, and for token authentication, use the ``api_key`` parameter.
+
+To disable SSL certificate verification, set ``verify_ssl`` to false.
+
+Reporting an issue
+==================
+
+- If you find a bug or have a suggestion regarding modules or plugins, please file issues at `Ansible Kubernetes collection <https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues>`_.
+- If you find a bug regarding Kubernetes Python client, please file issues at `Kubernetes Client issues <https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python/issues>`_.
+- If you find a bug regarding Kubectl binary, please file issues at `Kubectl issue tracker <https://github.com/kubernetes/kubectl/issues>`_
+- If you find a bug regarding Helm binary, please file issues at `Helm issue tracker <https://github.com/helm/helm/issues>`_.

+
+Kubernetes dynamic inventory plugin
+===================================
+
+
+The best way to interact with your Pods is to use the Kubernetes dynamic inventory plugin, which queries Kubernetes APIs using ``kubectl`` command line available on controller node and tells Ansible what Pods can be managed.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+To use the Kubernetes dynamic inventory plugins, you must install `Kubernetes Python client <https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python>`_, `kubectl <https://github.com/kubernetes/kubectl>`_ on your control node (the host running Ansible).
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ pip install kubernetes
+
+Please refer to Kubernetes official documentation for `installing kubectl <https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/>`_ on the given operating systems.
+
+To use this Kubernetes dynamic inventory plugin, you need to enable it first by specifying the following in the ``ansible.cfg`` file:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+  [inventory]
+  enable_plugins = kubernetes.core.k8s
+
+Then, create a file that ends in ``.k8s.yml`` or ``.k8s.yaml`` in your working directory.
+
+The ``kubernetes.core.k8s`` inventory plugin takes in the same authentication information as any other Kubernetes modules.
+
+Here's an example of a valid inventory file:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    plugin: kubernetes.core.k8s
+
+Executing ``ansible-inventory --list -i <filename>.k8s.yml`` will create a list of Pods that are ready to be configured using Ansible.
+
+You can also provide the namespace to gather information about specific pods from the given namespace. For example, to gather information about Pods under the ``test`` namespace you will specify the ``namespaces`` parameter:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    plugin: kubernetes.core.k8s
+    connections:
+    - namespaces:
+        - test
+
+Using vaulted configuration files
+=================================
+
+Since the inventory configuration file contains Kubernetes related sensitive information in plain text, a security risk, you may want to
+encrypt your entire inventory configuration file.
+
+You can encrypt a valid inventory configuration file as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ ansible-vault encrypt <filename>.k8s.yml
+      New Vault password:
+      Confirm New Vault password:
+      Encryption successful
+
+    $ echo "MySuperSecretPassw0rd!" > /path/to/vault_password_file
+
+And you can use this vaulted inventory configuration file using:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ ansible-inventory -i <filename>.k8s.yml --list --vault-password-file=/path/to/vault_password_file

+Introduction
+============
+
+This guide will show you how to utilize Ansible to create Kubernetes objects such as Pods, Deployments, and Secrets.
+
+Scenario Requirements
+=====================
+
+* Software
+
+    * Ansible 2.9.17 or later must be installed
+
+    * The Python module ``kubernetes`` must be installed on the Ansible controller (or Target host if not executing against localhost)
+
+    * Kubernetes Cluster
+
+    * Kubectl binary installed on the Ansible controller
+
+
+* Access / Credentials
+
+    * Kubeconfig configured with the given Kubernetes cluster
+
+
+Assumptions
+===========
+
+- User has required level of authorization to create, delete and update resources on the given Kubernetes cluster.
+
+Caveats
+=======
+
+- community.kubernetes 2.0.0 has been renamed to `kubernetes.core <https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core>`_
+
+Example Description
+===================
+
+In this use case / example, we will create a Pod in the given Kubernetes Cluster.  The following Ansible playbook showcases the basic parameters that are needed for this.
+
+.. code:: yaml
+
+    ---
+    - hosts: localhost
+      collections:
+        - kubernetes.core
+      tasks:
+        - name: Create a pod
+          kubernetes.core.k8s:
+            state: present
+            definition:
+              apiVersion: v1
+              kind: Pod
+              metadata:
+                name: "utilitypod-1"
+                namespace: default
+                labels:
+                  app: galaxy
+              spec:
+                containers:
+                  - name: utilitypod
+                    image: busybox
+
+Since Ansible utilizes the Kubernetes API to perform actions, in this use case we will be connecting directly to the Kubernetes cluster.
+
+To begin, there are a few bits of information we will need. Here you are using Kubeconfig which is pre-configured in your machine. The Kubeconfig is generally located at ``~/.kube/config``. It is highly recommended to store sensitive information such as password, user certificates in a more secure fashion using :ref:`ansible-vault` or using `Ansible Tower credentials <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/userguide/credentials.html>`_.
+
+Now you need to supply the information about the Pod which will be created. Using ``definition`` parameter of the ``kubernetes.core.k8s`` module, you specify `PodTemplate <https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/#pod-templates>`_. This PodTemplate is identical to what you provide to the ``kubectl`` command.
+
+What to expect
+--------------
+
+- You will see a bit of JSON output after this playbook completes. This output shows various parameters that are returned from the module and from cluster about the newly created Pod.
+
+.. code:: json
+
+    {
+        "changed": true,
+        "method": "create",
+        "result": {

+Notes
+-----
+
+.. note::
+   - To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when ``validate_certs`` is *True*, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via ``ca_cert`` or in the kubeconfig file.
+
+
+

+
+Notes
+-----
+
+.. note::
+   - the tar binary is required on the container when copying from local filesystem to pod.
+   - To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when ``validate_certs`` is *True*, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via ``ca_cert`` or in the kubeconfig file.
+
+

+*************************
+kubernetes.core.k8s_drain
+*************************
+
+**Drain, Cordon, or Uncordon node in k8s cluster**
+
+
+Version added: 2.2.0
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 1
+
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+- Drain node in preparation for maintenance same as kubectl drain.
+- Cordon will mark the node as unschedulable.
+- Uncordon will mark the node as schedulable.
+- The given node will be marked unschedulable to prevent new pods from arriving.
+- Then drain deletes all pods except mirror pods (which cannot be deleted through the API server).
+
+
+
+Requirements
+------------
+The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
+
+- python >= 3.6
+- kubernetes >= 12.0.0

+
+Notes
+-----
+
+.. note::
+   - To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when ``validate_certs`` is *True*, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via ``ca_cert`` or in the kubeconfig file.
+
+
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    - name: Drain node "foo", even if there are pods not managed by a ReplicationController, Job, or DaemonSet on it.
+      kubernetes.core.k8s_drain:
+        state: drain
+        name: foo
+        force: yes
+
+    - name: Drain node "foo", but abort if there are pods not managed by a ReplicationController, Job, or DaemonSet, and use a grace period of 15 minutes.
+      kubernetes.core.k8s_drain:
+        state: drain
+        name: foo
+        delete_options:
+            terminate_grace_period: 900
+
+    - name: Mark node "foo" as schedulable.
+      kubernetes.core.k8s_drain:
+        state: uncordon
+        name: foo
+
+    - name: Mark node "foo" as unschedulable.
+      kubernetes.core.k8s_drain:
+        state: cordon
+        name: foo

+
+Notes
+-----
+
+.. note::
+   - Return code ``rc`` for the command executed is added in output in version 2.2.0, and deprecates return code ``return_code``.
+   - Return code ``return_code`` for the command executed is added in output in version 1.0.0.
+   - The authenticated user must have at least read access to the pods resource and write access to the pods/exec resource.
+   - To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when ``validate_certs`` is *True*, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via ``ca_cert`` or in the kubeconfig file.
+
+

+
+Notes
+-----
+
+.. note::
+   - To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when ``validate_certs`` is *True*, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via ``ca_cert`` or in the kubeconfig file.
+
+
+
+Examples

+Notes
+-----
+
+.. note::
+   - To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when ``validate_certs`` is *True*, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via ``ca_cert`` or in the kubeconfig file.

+-----
+

+    Implements the standard interface for version number classes as
+    described above.  A version number consists of two or three
+    dot-separated numeric components, with an optional "pre-release" tag
+    on the end.  The pre-release tag consists of the letter 'a' or 'b'
+    followed by a number.  If the numeric components of two version
+    numbers are equal, then one with a pre-release tag will always
+    be deemed earlier (lesser) than one without.

+
+# The rules according to Greg Stein:
+# 1) a version number has 1 or more numbers separated by a period or by
+#    sequences of letters. If only periods, then these are compared
+#    left-to-right to determine an ordering.
+# 2) sequences of letters are part of the tuple for comparison and are
+#    compared lexicographically
+# 3) recognize the numeric components may have leading zeroes
+#
+# The LooseVersion class below implements these rules: a version number
+# string is split up into a tuple of integer and string components, and
+# comparison is a simple tuple comparison.  This means that version
+# numbers behave in a predictable and obvious way, but a way that might
+# not necessarily be how people *want* version numbers to behave.  There
+# wouldn't be a problem if people could stick to purely numeric version
+# numbers: just split on period and compare the numbers as tuples.
+# However, people insist on putting letters into their version numbers;
+# the most common purpose seems to be:
+#   - indicating a "pre-release" version
+#     ('alpha', 'beta', 'a', 'b', 'pre', 'p')
+#   - indicating a post-release patch ('p', 'pl', 'patch')
+# but of course this can't cover all version number schemes, and there's
+# no way to know what a programmer means without asking him.
+#
+# The problem is what to do with letters (and other non-numeric
+# characters) in a version number.  The current implementation does the
+# obvious and predictable thing: keep them as strings and compare
+# lexically within a tuple comparison.  This has the desired effect if
+# an appended letter sequence implies something "post-release":
+# eg. "0.99" < "0.99pl14" < "1.0", and "5.001" < "5.001m" < "5.002".
+#
+# However, if letters in a version number imply a pre-release version,
+# the "obvious" thing isn't correct.  Eg. you would expect that
+# "1.5.1" < "1.5.2a2" < "1.5.2", but under the tuple/lexical comparison
+# implemented here, this just isn't so.
+#
+# Two possible solutions come to mind.  The first is to tie the
+# comparison algorithm to a particular set of semantic rules, as has
+# been done in the StrictVersion class above.  This works great as long
+# as everyone can go along with bondage and discipline.  Hopefully a
+# (large) subset of Python module programmers will agree that the
+# particular flavour of bondage and discipline provided by StrictVersion
+# provides enough benefit to be worth using, and will submit their
+# version numbering scheme to its domination.  The free-thinking
+# anarchists in the lot will never give in, though, and something needs
+# to be done to accommodate them.
+#
+# Perhaps a "moderately strict" version class could be implemented that
+# lets almost anything slide (syntactically), and makes some heuristic
+# assumptions about non-digits in version number strings.  This could
+# sink into special-case-hell, though; if I was as talented and
+# idiosyncratic as Larry Wall, I'd go ahead and implement a class that
+# somehow knows that "1.2.1" < "1.2.2a2" < "1.2.2" < "1.2.2pl3", and is
+# just as happy dealing with things like "2g6" and "1.13++".  I don't
+# think I'm smart enough to do it right though.
+#
+# In any case, I've coded the test suite for this module (see
+# ../test/test_version.py) specifically to fail on things like comparing
+# "1.2a2" and "1.2".  That's not because the *code* is doing anything
+# wrong, it's because the simple, obvious design doesn't match my
+# complicated, hairy expectations for real-world version numbers.  It
+# would be a snap to fix the test suite to say, "Yep, LooseVersion does
+# the Right Thing" (ie. the code matches the conception).  But I'd rather
+# have a conception that matches common notions about version numbers.

+class LooseVersion(Version):

+    Implements the standard interface for version number classes as

+author:
+  - Lucas Boisserie (@LucasBoisserie)
+  - Matthieu Diehr (@d-matt)
+
+requirements:
+  - "helm (https://github.com/helm/helm/releases)"
+  - "yaml (https://pypi.org/project/PyYAML/)"
+
+description:
+  - Install, upgrade, delete packages with the Helm package manager.
+
+notes:
+  - The default idempotency check can fail to report changes when C(release_state) is set to C(present)
+    and C(chart_repo_url) is defined. Install helm diff >= 3.4.1 for better results.
+
+options:
+  chart_ref:
+    description:
+      - chart_reference on chart repository.
+      - path to a packaged chart.
+      - path to an unpacked chart directory.
+      - absolute URL.

+      - Run inline C(--dependency-update) with C(helm install) command. This feature is not supported yet with the C(helm upgrade) command.
+      - So we should consider to use I(dependency_update) options with I(replace) option enabled when specifying I(chart_repo_url).
+      - The I(dependency_update) option require the add of C(dependencies) block in C(Chart.yaml/requirements.yaml) file.

+
+author:

+    - "Fabian von Feilitzsch (@fabianvf)"
+
+description:
+  - Use the Kubernetes Python client to perform CRUD operations on K8s objects.
+  - Pass the object definition from a source file or inline. See examples for reading
+    files and using Jinja templates or vault-encrypted files.
+  - Access to the full range of K8s APIs.
+  - Use the M(kubernetes.core.k8s_info) module to obtain a list of items about an object of type C(kind)
+  - Authenticate using either a config file, certificates, password or token.
+  - Supports check mode.
+
+extends_documentation_fragment:

+  - kubernetes.core.k8s_resource_options

+  - kubernetes.core.k8s_delete_options
+
+options:
+  state:
+    description:
+    - Determines if an object should be created, patched, or deleted. When set to C(present), an object will be
+      created, if it does not already exist. If set to C(absent), an existing object will be deleted. If set to
+      C(present), an existing object will be patched, if its attributes differ from those specified using
+      I(resource_definition) or I(src).
+    - C(patched) state is an existing resource that has a given patch applied. If the resource doesn't exist, silently skip it (do not raise an error).
+    type: str
+    default: present
+    choices: [ absent, present, patched ]
+  force:
+    description:
+    - If set to C(yes), and I(state) is C(present), an existing object will be replaced.
+    type: bool
+    default: no
+  merge_type:
+    description:
+    - Whether to override the default patch merge approach with a specific type. By default, the strategic
+      merge will typically be used.
+    - For example, Custom Resource Definitions typically aren't updatable by the usual strategic merge. You may
+      want to use C(merge) if you see "strategic merge patch format is not supported"
+    - See U(https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/run-application/update-api-object-kubectl-patch/#use-a-json-merge-patch-to-update-a-deployment)
+    - If more than one C(merge_type) is given, the merge_types will be tried in order. This defaults to
+      C(['strategic-merge', 'merge']), which is ideal for using the same parameters on resource kinds that
+      combine Custom Resources and built-in resources.
+    - mutually exclusive with C(apply)
+    - I(merge_type=json) is deprecated and will be removed in version 3.0.0. Please use M(kubernetes.core.k8s_json_patch) instead.

+    - The parameter will be silently ignored for other resource kinds
+    - The full definition of an object is needed to generate the hash - this means that deleting an object created with append_hash

+    - Value can be provided as string or dictionary.
+    - The parameter accepts multiple template files. Added in version 2.0.0.
+    - Mutually exclusive with C(src) and C(resource_definition).
+    - Template files needs to be present on the Ansible Controller's file system.
+    - Additional parameters can be specified using dictionary.

+    - 'C(trim_blocks) (bool): Determine when newlines should be removed from blocks. When set to C(yes) the first newline
+       after a block is removed (block, not variable tag!). Default value is true.'
+    - 'C(lstrip_blocks) (bool): Determine when leading spaces and tabs should be stripped.
+      When set to C(yes) leading spaces and tabs are stripped from the start of a line to a block.
+      This functionality requires Jinja 2.7 or newer. Default value is false.'

+description:
+  - Drain node in preparation for maintenance same as kubectl drain.
+  - Cordon will mark the node as unschedulable.
+  - Uncordon will mark the node as schedulable.
+  - The given node will be marked unschedulable to prevent new pods from arriving.
+  - Then drain deletes all pods except mirror pods (which cannot be deleted through the API server).
