 ### Minor Changes
 
-* x509\_crl \- the new option <code>serial\_numbers</code> allow to configure in which format serial numbers can be provided to <code>revoked\_certificates\[\]\.serial\_number</code>\. The default is as integers \(<code>serial\_numbers\=integer</code>\) for backwards compatibility\; setting <code>serial\_numbers\=hex\-octets</code> allows to specify colon\-separated hex octet strings like <code>00\:11\:22\:FF</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/687](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/687)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/715](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/715)\)\.
+* When using cryptography \>\= 42\.0\.0\, use offset\-aware <code>datetime\.datetime</code> objects \(with timezone UTC\) instead of offset\-naive UTC timestamps \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/726](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/726)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/727](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/727)\)\.
+* openssh\_cert \- avoid UTC functions deprecated in Python 3\.12 when using Python 3 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/727](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/727)\)\.

 ### Deprecated Features
 
-* openssl\_csr\_pipe\, openssl\_privatekey\_pipe\, x509\_certificate\_pipe \- the current behavior of check mode is deprecated and will change in community\.crypto 3\.0\.0\.

 * Prepare collection for inclusion in an Execution Environment by declaring its dependencies\. Please note that system packages are used for cryptography and PyOpenSSL\, which can be rather limited\.

+v2.19.0
+=======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Bugfix and feature release.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- When using cryptography >= 42.0.0, use offset-aware ``datetime.datetime`` objects (with timezone UTC) instead of offset-naive UTC timestamps (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/726, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/727).
+- openssh_cert - avoid UTC functions deprecated in Python 3.12 when using Python 3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/727).
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- acme.backends module utils - from community.crypto on, all implementations of ``CryptoBackend`` must override ``get_ordered_csr_identifiers()``. The current default implementation, which simply sorts the result of ``get_csr_identifiers()``, will then be removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/725).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- acme_certificate - respect the order of the CNAME and SAN identifiers that are passed on when creating an ACME order (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/723, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/725).
+
+New Modules
+-----------
+
+- x509_certificate_convert - Convert X.509 certificates

+      bugfixes:
+      - acme_certificate - respect the order of the CNAME and SAN identifiers that

+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/725).
+      deprecated_features:
+      - acme.backends module utils - from community.crypto on, all implementations
+        of ``CryptoBackend`` must override ``get_ordered_csr_identifiers()``. The
+        current default implementation, which simply sorts the result of ``get_csr_identifiers()``,
+        will then be removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/725).
+      minor_changes:
+      - When using cryptography >= 42.0.0, use offset-aware ``datetime.datetime``
+        objects (with timezone UTC) instead of offset-naive UTC timestamps (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/726,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/727).
+      - openssh_cert - avoid UTC functions deprecated in Python 3.12 when using Python

Examples for registrable domain names are ``example.com`` and ``example.co.uk``, while ``www.example.com`` is not a registrable domain name.

+* The EE requirements now include PyYAML\, since the <code>docker\_compose\_v2\*</code> modules depend on it when the <code>definition</code> option is used\. This should not have a noticable effect on generated EEs since ansible\-core itself depends on PyYAML as well\, and ansible\-builder explicitly ignores this dependency \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.docker/pull/832](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.docker/pull/832)\)\.
+* docker\_compose\_v2\* \- the new option <code>check\_files\_existing</code> allows to disable the check for one of the files <code>compose\.yaml</code>\, <code>compose\.yml</code>\, <code>docker\-compose\.yaml</code>\, and <code>docker\-compose\.yml</code> in <code>project\_src</code> if <code>files</code> is not specified\.

+Bugfix and feature release.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- The EE requirements now include PyYAML, since the ``docker_compose_v2*`` modules depend on it when the ``definition`` option is used. This should not have a noticable effect on generated EEs since ansible-core itself depends on PyYAML as well, and ansible-builder explicitly ignores this dependency (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/832).
+- docker_compose_v2* - the new option ``check_files_existing`` allows to disable the check for one of the files ``compose.yaml``, ``compose.yml``, ``docker-compose.yaml``, and ``docker-compose.yml`` in ``project_src`` if ``files`` is not specified. This is necessary if a non-standard compose filename is specified through other means, like the ``COMPOSE_FILE`` environment variable (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/838, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/839).
+- docker_compose_v2* modules - allow to provide an inline definition of the compose content instead of having to provide a ``project_src`` directory with the compose file written into it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/829, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/832).
+- vendored Docker SDK for Python - remove unused code that relies on functionality deprecated in Python 3.12 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/834).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- docker_compose_v2* - allow ``project_src`` to be a relative path, by converting it to an absolute path before using it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/827, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/828).
+- docker_compose_v2* modules - abort with a nice error message instead of crash when the Docker Compose CLI plugin version is ``dev`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/825, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/826).
+- inventory plugins - add unsafe wrapper to avoid marking strings that do not contain ``{`` or ``}`` as unsafe, to work around a bug in AWX (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/835).

+    changes:
+      bugfixes:
+      - docker_compose_v2* - allow ``project_src`` to be a relative path, by converting
+        it to an absolute path before using it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/827,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/828).
+      - docker_compose_v2* modules - abort with a nice error message instead of crash
+        when the Docker Compose CLI plugin version is ``dev`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/825,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/826).
+      - inventory plugins - add unsafe wrapper to avoid marking strings that do not
+        contain ``{`` or ``}`` as unsafe, to work around a bug in AWX (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/835).
+      minor_changes:
+      - The EE requirements now include PyYAML, since the ``docker_compose_v2*`` modules
+        depend on it when the ``definition`` option is used. This should not have
+        a noticable effect on generated EEs since ansible-core itself depends on PyYAML
+        as well, and ansible-builder explicitly ignores this dependency (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/832).
+      - docker_compose_v2* - the new option ``check_files_existing`` allows to disable
+        the check for one of the files ``compose.yaml``, ``compose.yml``, ``docker-compose.yaml``,
+        and ``docker-compose.yml`` in ``project_src`` if ``files`` is not specified.
+        This is necessary if a non-standard compose filename is specified through
+        other means, like the ``COMPOSE_FILE`` environment variable (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/838,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/839).
+      - docker_compose_v2* modules - allow to provide an inline definition of the
+        compose content instead of having to provide a ``project_src`` directory with
+        the compose file written into it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/issues/829,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/832).
+      - vendored Docker SDK for Python - remove unused code that relies on functionality
+        deprecated in Python 3.12 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/pull/834).

+### Minor Changes
+
+* Use offset\-aware <code>datetime\.datetime</code> objects \(with timezone UTC\) instead of offset\-naive UTC timestamps\, which are deprecated in Python 3\.12 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8222](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8222)\)\.
+* apt\_rpm \- add new states <code>latest</code> and <code>present\_not\_latest</code>\. The value <code>latest</code> is equivalent to the current behavior of <code>present</code>\, which will upgrade a package if a newer version exists\. <code>present\_not\_latest</code> does what most users would expect <code>present</code> to do\: it does not upgrade if the package is already installed\. The current behavior of <code>present</code> will be deprecated in a later version\, and eventually changed to that of <code>present\_not\_latest</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8217](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8217)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8247](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8247)\)\.
+* bitwarden lookup plugin \- add support to filter by organization ID \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8188](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8188)\)\.
+* filesystem \- add bcachefs support \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8126](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8126)\)\.
+* ini\_file \- add an optional parameter <code>section\_has\_values</code>\. If the target ini file contains more than one <code>section</code>\, use <code>section\_has\_values</code> to specify which one should be updated \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7505](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/7505)\)\.
+* java\_cert \- add <code>cert\_content</code> argument \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8153](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8153)\)\.
+* keycloak\_client\, keycloak\_clientscope\, keycloak\_clienttemplate \- added <code>docker\-v2</code> protocol support\, enhancing alignment with Keycloak\'s protocol options \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8215](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8215)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8216](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8216)\)\.
+* nmcli \- adds OpenvSwitch support with new <code>type</code> values <code>ovs\-port</code>\, <code>ovs\-interface</code>\, and <code>ovs\-bridge</code>\, and new <code>slave\_type</code> value <code>ovs\-port</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8154](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8154)\)\.
+* osx\_defaults \- add option <code>check\_types</code> to enable changing the type of existing defaults on the fly \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8173](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8173)\)\.
+* passwordstore lookup \- add <code>missing\_subkey</code> parameter defining the behavior of the lookup when a passwordstore subkey is missing \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8166](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8166)\)\.
+* portage \- adds the possibility to explicitely tell portage to write packages to world file \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/6226](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/6226)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8236](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8236)\)\.
+* redfish\_command \- add command <code>ResetToDefaults</code> to reset manager to default state \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8163](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8163)\)\.
+* redfish\_info \- add boolean return value <code>MultipartHttpPush</code> to <code>GetFirmwareUpdateCapabilities</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8194](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8194)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8195](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8195)\)\.
+* ssh\_config \- allow <code>accept\-new</code> as valid value for <code>strict\_host\_key\_checking</code> \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8257](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8257)\)\.

+* apt\_rpm \- when checking whether packages were installed after running <code>apt\-get \-y install \<packages\></code>\, only the last package name was checked \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8263](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8263)\)\.
+* bitwarden\_secrets\_manager lookup plugin \- implements retry with exponential backoff to avoid lookup errors when Bitwardn\'s API rate limiting is encountered \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8230](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/issues/8230)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8238](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.general/pull/8238)\)\.

+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Regular bugfix and features release.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- Use offset-aware ``datetime.datetime`` objects (with timezone UTC) instead of offset-naive UTC timestamps, which are deprecated in Python 3.12 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8222).
+- apt_rpm - add new states ``latest`` and ``present_not_latest``. The value ``latest`` is equivalent to the current behavior of ``present``, which will upgrade a package if a newer version exists. ``present_not_latest`` does what most users would expect ``present`` to do: it does not upgrade if the package is already installed. The current behavior of ``present`` will be deprecated in a later version, and eventually changed to that of ``present_not_latest`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8217, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8247).
+- bitwarden lookup plugin - add support to filter by organization ID (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8188).
+- filesystem - add bcachefs support (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8126).
+- ini_file - add an optional parameter ``section_has_values``. If the target ini file contains more than one ``section``, use ``section_has_values`` to specify which one should be updated (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7505).
+- java_cert - add ``cert_content`` argument (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8153).
+- keycloak_client, keycloak_clientscope, keycloak_clienttemplate - added ``docker-v2`` protocol support, enhancing alignment with Keycloak's protocol options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8215, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8216).
+- nmcli - adds OpenvSwitch support with new ``type`` values ``ovs-port``, ``ovs-interface``, and ``ovs-bridge``, and new ``slave_type`` value ``ovs-port`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8154).
+- osx_defaults - add option ``check_types`` to enable changing the type of existing defaults on the fly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8173).
+- passwordstore lookup - add ``missing_subkey`` parameter defining the behavior of the lookup when a passwordstore subkey is missing (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8166).
+- portage - adds the possibility to explicitely tell portage to write packages to world file (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6226, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8236).
+- redfish_command - add command ``ResetToDefaults`` to reset manager to default state (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8163).
+- redfish_info - add boolean return value ``MultipartHttpPush`` to ``GetFirmwareUpdateCapabilities`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8194, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8195).
+- ssh_config - allow ``accept-new`` as valid value for ``strict_host_key_checking`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8257).
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- hipchat callback plugin - the hipchat service has been discontinued and the self-hosted variant has been End of Life since 2020. The callback plugin is therefore deprecated and will be removed from community.general 10.0.0 if nobody provides compelling reasons to still keep it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8184, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8189).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- aix_filesystem - fix ``_validate_vg`` not passing VG name to ``lsvg_cmd`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8151).
+- apt_rpm - when checking whether packages were installed after running ``apt-get -y install <packages>``, only the last package name was checked (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8263).
+- bitwarden_secrets_manager lookup plugin - implements retry with exponential backoff to avoid lookup errors when Bitwardn's API rate limiting is encountered (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8230, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8238).
+- from_ini filter plugin - disabling interpolation of ``ConfigParser`` to allow converting values with a ``%`` sign (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8183, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8185).
+- gitlab_issue, gitlab_label, gitlab_milestone - avoid crash during version comparison when the python-gitlab Python module is not installed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8158).
+- haproxy - fix an issue where HAProxy could get stuck in DRAIN mode when the backend was unreachable (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8092).
+- inventory plugins - add unsafe wrapper to avoid marking strings that do not contain ``{`` or ``}`` as unsafe, to work around a bug in AWX ((https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8212, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8225).
+- ipa - fix get version regex in IPA module_utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8175).
+- keycloak_client - add sorted ``defaultClientScopes`` and ``optionalClientScopes`` to normalizations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8223).
+- keycloak_realm - add normalizations for ``enabledEventTypes`` and ``supportedLocales`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8224).
+- puppet - add option ``environment_lang`` to set the environment language encoding. Defaults to lang ``C``. It is recommended to set it to ``C.UTF-8`` or ``en_US.UTF-8`` depending on what is available on your system. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8000)
+- riak - support ``riak admin`` sub-command in newer Riak KV versions beside the legacy ``riak-admin`` main command (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8211).
+- to_ini filter plugin - disabling interpolation of ``ConfigParser`` to allow converting values with a ``%`` sign (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8183, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8185).
+- xml - make module work with lxml 5.1.1, which removed some internals that the module was relying on (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8169).
+
+New Modules
+-----------
+
+- keycloak_client_rolescope - Allows administration of Keycloak client roles scope to restrict the usage of certain roles to a other specific client applications.

+    changes:
+      bugfixes:
+      - aix_filesystem - fix ``_validate_vg`` not passing VG name to ``lsvg_cmd``
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8151).
+      - apt_rpm - when checking whether packages were installed after running ``apt-get
+        -y install <packages>``, only the last package name was checked (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8263).
+      - bitwarden_secrets_manager lookup plugin - implements retry with exponential
+        backoff to avoid lookup errors when Bitwardn's API rate limiting is encountered
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8230, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8238).
+      - from_ini filter plugin - disabling interpolation of ``ConfigParser`` to allow
+        converting values with a ``%`` sign (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8183,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8185).
+      - gitlab_issue, gitlab_label, gitlab_milestone - avoid crash during version
+        comparison when the python-gitlab Python module is not installed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8158).
+      - haproxy - fix an issue where HAProxy could get stuck in DRAIN mode when the
+        backend was unreachable (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8092).
+      - inventory plugins - add unsafe wrapper to avoid marking strings that do not
+        contain ``{`` or ``}`` as unsafe, to work around a bug in AWX ((https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8212,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8225).
+      - ipa - fix get version regex in IPA module_utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8175).
+      - keycloak_client - add sorted ``defaultClientScopes`` and ``optionalClientScopes``
+        to normalizations (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8223).
+      - keycloak_realm - add normalizations for ``enabledEventTypes`` and ``supportedLocales``
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8224).
+      - puppet - add option ``environment_lang`` to set the environment language encoding.
+        Defaults to lang ``C``. It is recommended to set it to ``C.UTF-8`` or ``en_US.UTF-8``
+        depending on what is available on your system. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8000)
+      - riak - support ``riak admin`` sub-command in newer Riak KV versions beside
+        the legacy ``riak-admin`` main command (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8211).
+      - to_ini filter plugin - disabling interpolation of ``ConfigParser`` to allow
+        converting values with a ``%`` sign (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8183,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8185).
+      - xml - make module work with lxml 5.1.1, which removed some internals that
+        the module was relying on (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8169).
+      deprecated_features:
+      - hipchat callback plugin - the hipchat service has been discontinued and the
+        self-hosted variant has been End of Life since 2020. The callback plugin is
+        therefore deprecated and will be removed from community.general 10.0.0 if
+        nobody provides compelling reasons to still keep it (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8184,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8189).
+      minor_changes:
+      - Use offset-aware ``datetime.datetime`` objects (with timezone UTC) instead
+        of offset-naive UTC timestamps, which are deprecated in Python 3.12 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8222).
+      - 'apt_rpm - add new states ``latest`` and ``present_not_latest``. The value
+        ``latest`` is equivalent to the current behavior of ``present``, which will
+        upgrade a package if a newer version exists. ``present_not_latest`` does what
+        most users would expect ``present`` to do: it does not upgrade if the package
+        is already installed. The current behavior of ``present`` will be deprecated
+        in a later version, and eventually changed to that of ``present_not_latest``
+        (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8217, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8247).'
+      - bitwarden lookup plugin - add support to filter by organization ID (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8188).
+      - filesystem - add bcachefs support (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8126).
+      - ini_file - add an optional parameter ``section_has_values``. If the target
+        ini file contains more than one ``section``, use ``section_has_values`` to
+        specify which one should be updated (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/7505).
+      - java_cert - add ``cert_content`` argument (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8153).
+      - keycloak_client, keycloak_clientscope, keycloak_clienttemplate - added ``docker-v2``
+        protocol support, enhancing alignment with Keycloak's protocol options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/8215,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8216).
+      - nmcli - adds OpenvSwitch support with new ``type`` values ``ovs-port``, ``ovs-interface``,
+        and ``ovs-bridge``, and new ``slave_type`` value ``ovs-port`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8154).
+      - osx_defaults - add option ``check_types`` to enable changing the type of existing
+        defaults on the fly (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8173).
+      - passwordstore lookup - add ``missing_subkey`` parameter defining the behavior
+        of the lookup when a passwordstore subkey is missing (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8166).
+      - portage - adds the possibility to explicitely tell portage to write packages
+        to world file (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6226,
+        https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/8236).

+
+version_added: 8.6.0
+
+description:
+    - This module allows you to add or remove Keycloak roles from clients scope via the Keycloak REST API.
+      It requires access to the REST API via OpenID Connect; the user connecting and the client being
+      used must have the requisite access rights. In a default Keycloak installation, admin-cli
+      and an admin user would work, as would a separate client definition with the scope tailored
+      to your needs and a user having the expected roles.
+
+    - Client O(client_id) must have O(community.general.keycloak_client#module:full_scope_allowed) set to V(false).
+
+    - Attributes are multi-valued in the Keycloak API. All attributes are lists of individual values and will
+      be returned that way by this module. You may pass single values for attributes when calling the module,
+      and this will be translated into a list suitable for the API.

+
+## Releasing, Versioning and Deprecation
+
+This collection follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/). More details on versioning can be found [in the Ansible docs](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_collections.html#collection-versions).
+
+We plan to regularly release new minor or bugfix versions once new features or bugfixes have been implemented.
+
+Releasing the major version X happens from the `stable-X` branch. The collection name depends on the major branch; the collections released from `stable-1` have a `_v1` suffix; the collections released from `stable-2` have a `_v2` suffix; and so on. The different suffix allows to install multiple major releases of the collection in parallel. This makes it possible to migrate some collections to major version 2 without forcing to upgrade all of them simultaneously.
+
+Features might be backported to earlier stable branches. Bugfixes are backported as long as these stable branches are still maintained. Generally stable branches should still be maintained as long as they are still used by maintained branches of collections. Backporting bugfixes or creating more specialized bugfixes for stable branches might need to be done by the maintainers of the collections still using these branches.
+
+Since multiple versions are maintained in parallel, there is no need to wait between deprecation and removal. Removal requires a new major release (and thus a new collection name due to a different version suffix).

+Usage Guide
+===========
+
+The `community.library_inventory_filtering_v1 collection <https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/community/library_inventory_filtering_v1/>`_ enables other collections to add common filter functionality to inventory plugins.
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 1
+
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+The ``stable-1`` branch of this collection, released as , works with all ansible-base and ansible-core versions, and with Ansible >= 2.9.10.
+
+Adding filter functionality to an inventory plugin
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+The preferred way to use this collection is to use the ``inventory_filter`` docs fragment and the ``inventory_filter`` plugin utils.
+
+To use the documentation fragment, add it to the ``extends_documentation_fragment`` list in ``DOCUMENTATION``:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    extends_documentation_fragment:
+      - community.library_inventory_filtering_v1.inventory_filter
+
+For the filtering, you need to import two functions from the plugin util, ``parse_filters()`` and ``filter_host()``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from ansible_collections.community.library_inventory_filtering_v1.plugins.plugin_utils.inventory_filter import (
+        parse_filters,
+        filter_host,
+    )
+
+You can use ``parse_filters()`` to parse the ``filters`` option's value (``self.get_option('filters')``), and ``filter_host()`` to determine whether to include a host:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class InventoryModule(BaseInventoryPlugin, ...):
+
+        def parse(self, inventory, loader, path, cache=True):
+            super(InventoryModule, self).parse(inventory, loader, path, cache)
+            self._read_config_data(path)
+
+            ...
+
+            # Parse the filters option
+            filters = parse_filters(self.get_option('filters'))
+
+            ...
+
+            for host in hosts:
+                # Compile the host vars
+                host_vars = ...
+
+                # Now we can evaluate potential filter conditions
+                # based on the host name and host vars:
+                if not filter_host(self, host, host_vars, filters):
+                    continue
+
+                # Add the host with its vars
+                self.inventory.add_host(name)
+                for key, value in host_vars.items():
+                    self.inventory.set_variable(name, key, value)
+
+            ...

 This changelog describes changes after version 3.9.0.
 
+v4.3.0
+======
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- Document that all parameters and VMware object names are case sensitive (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/issues/2019).
+- Drop the outdated (and actually unmaintained) scenario guides (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/2022).
+- vmware_dvswitch - Add switchIpAddress/switch_ip parameter for netflow config
+- vmware_guest_tools_info - Use `toolsVersionStatus2` instead of `toolsVersionStatus` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/issues/2033).
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- vmware_guest_tools_info - `vm_tools_install_status` will be removed from next major version (5.0.0) of the collection since the API call that provides this information has been deprecated by VMware. Use `vm_tools_running_status` / `vm_tools_version_status` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/issues/2033).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Use `isinstance()` instead of `type()` for a typecheck (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/2011).
+- vmware_guest - Fix a error while updating the VM by adding a new disk. While adding a disk to an  existing VM, it leaves it in invalid state. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/2044).
+- vmware_guest - Fix a missing error message while setting a template parameter with inconsistency guest_os ID (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/2036).
+
 v4.2.0

+      - Use `isinstance()` instead of `type()` for a typecheck (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/2011).
+      - vmware_guest - Fix a error while updating the VM by adding a new disk. While
+        adding a disk to an  existing VM, it leaves it in invalid state. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/2044).
+      - vmware_guest - Fix a missing error message while setting a template parameter
+        with inconsistency guest_os ID (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/2036).
+      deprecated_features:
+      - vmware_guest_tools_info - `vm_tools_install_status` will be removed from next
+        major version (5.0.0) of the collection since the API call that provides this
+        information has been deprecated by VMware. Use `vm_tools_running_status` /
+        `vm_tools_version_status` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/issues/2033).
+      minor_changes:
+      - Document that all parameters and VMware object names are case sensitive (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/issues/2019).
+      - Drop the outdated (and actually unmaintained) scenario guides (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/pull/2022).
+      - vmware_dvswitch - Add switchIpAddress/switch_ip parameter for netflow config
+      - vmware_guest_tools_info - Use `toolsVersionStatus2` instead of `toolsVersionStatus`

-vmware_guest
-============
-
-Can I deploy a virtual machine on a standalone ESXi server ?
-------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Yes. ``vmware_guest`` can deploy a virtual machine with required settings on a standalone ESXi server.
-However, you must have a paid license to deploy virtual machines this way. If you are using the free version, the API is read-only.
-
-Is ``/vm`` required for ``vmware_guest`` module ?
--------------------------------------------------
-
-Prior to Ansible version 2.5, ``folder`` was an optional parameter with a default value of ``/vm``.
-
-The folder parameter was used to discover information about virtual machines in the given infrastructure.
-
-Starting with Ansible version 2.5, ``folder`` is still an optional parameter with no default value.
-This parameter will be now used to identify a user's virtual machine, if multiple virtual machines or virtual
-machine templates are found with same name. VMware does not restrict the system administrator from creating virtual
-machines with same name.

-Introduction
-============
-
-This guide will show you how to utilize Ansible to clone a virtual machine from already existing VMware template or existing VMware guest.
-
-Scenario requirements
-=====================
-
-* Software
-
-    * Ansible 2.5 or later must be installed
-
-    * The Python module ``Pyvmomi`` must be installed on the Ansible (or Target host if not executing against localhost)
-
-    * Installing the latest ``Pyvmomi`` via ``pip`` is recommended [as the OS provided packages are usually out of date and incompatible]
-
-* Hardware
-
-    * vCenter Server with at least one ESXi server
-
-* Access / Credentials
-
-    * Ansible (or the target server) must have network access to the either vCenter server or the ESXi server you will be deploying to
-
-    * Username and Password
-
-    * Administrator user with following privileges
-
-        - ``Datastore.AllocateSpace`` on the destination datastore or datastore folder
-        - ``Network.Assign`` on the network to which the virtual machine will be assigned
-        - ``Resource.AssignVMToPool`` on the destination host, cluster, or resource pool
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Config.AddNewDisk`` on the datacenter or virtual machine folder
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Config.AddRemoveDevice`` on the datacenter or virtual machine folder
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Interact.PowerOn`` on the datacenter or virtual machine folder
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Inventory.CreateFromExisting`` on the datacenter or virtual machine folder
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Provisioning.Clone`` on the virtual machine you are cloning
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Provisioning.Customize`` on the virtual machine or virtual machine folder if you are customizing the guest operating system
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Provisioning.DeployTemplate`` on the template you are using
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Provisioning.ReadCustSpecs`` on the root vCenter Server if you are customizing the guest operating system
-
-        Depending on your requirements, you could also need one or more of the following privileges:
-
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Config.CPUCount`` on the datacenter or virtual machine folder
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Config.Memory`` on the datacenter or virtual machine folder
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Config.DiskExtend`` on the datacenter or virtual machine folder
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Config.Annotation`` on the datacenter or virtual machine folder
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Config.AdvancedConfig`` on the datacenter or virtual machine folder
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Config.EditDevice`` on the datacenter or virtual machine folder
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Config.Resource`` on the datacenter or virtual machine folder
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Config.Settings`` on the datacenter or virtual machine folder
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Config.UpgradeVirtualHardware`` on the datacenter or virtual machine folder
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Interact.SetCDMedia`` on the datacenter or virtual machine folder
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Interact.SetFloppyMedia`` on the datacenter or virtual machine folder
-        - ``VirtualMachine.Interact.DeviceConnection`` on the datacenter or virtual machine folder
-
-Assumptions
-===========
-
-- All variable names and VMware object names are case sensitive.
-- VMware allows creation of virtual machine and templates with same name across datacenters and within datacenters.
-- You need to use Python 2.7.9 version in order to use ``validate_certs`` option, as this version is capable of changing the SSL verification behaviours.
-
-Caveats
-=======
-
-- Hosts in the ESXi cluster must have access to the datastore that the template resides on.
-- Multiple templates with the same name will cause module failures.
-- In order to utilize Guest Customization, VMware Tools must be installed on the template. For Linux, the ``open-vm-tools`` package is recommended, and it requires that ``Perl`` be installed.
-
-
-Example description
-===================
-
-In this use case / example, we will be selecting a virtual machine template and cloning it into a specific folder in our Datacenter / Cluster.  The following Ansible playbook showcases the basic parameters that are needed for this.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    ---
-    - name: Create a VM from a template
-      hosts: localhost
-      gather_facts: no
-      tasks:
-      - name: Clone the template
-        vmware_guest:
-          hostname: "{{ vcenter_ip }}"
-          username: "{{ vcenter_username }}"
-          password: "{{ vcenter_password }}"
-          validate_certs: False
-          name: testvm_2
-          template: template_el7
-          datacenter: "{{ datacenter_name }}"
-          folder: /DC1/vm
-          state: poweredon
-          cluster: "{{ cluster_name }}"
-          wait_for_ip_address: yes
-
-
-Since Ansible utilizes the VMware API to perform actions, in this use case we will be connecting directly to the API from our localhost. This means that our playbooks will not be running from the vCenter or ESXi Server. We do not necessarily need to collect facts about our localhost, so the ``gather_facts`` parameter will be disabled. You can run these modules against another server that would then connect to the API if your localhost does not have access to vCenter. If so, the required Python modules will need to be installed on that target server.
-
-To begin, there are a few bits of information we will need. First and foremost is the hostname of the ESXi server or vCenter server. After this, you will need the username and password for this server. For now, you will be entering these directly, but in a more advanced playbook this can be abstracted out and stored 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>`_. If your vCenter or ESXi server is not setup with proper CA certificates that can be verified from the Ansible server, then it is necessary to disable validation of these certificates by using the ``validate_certs`` parameter. To do this you need to set ``validate_certs=False`` in your playbook.
-
-Now you need to supply the information about the virtual machine which will be created. Give your virtual machine a name, one that conforms to all VMware requirements for naming conventions.  Next, select the display name of the template from which you want to clone new virtual machine. This must match what's displayed in VMware Web UI exactly. Then you can specify a folder to place this new virtual machine in. This path can either be a relative path or a full path to the folder including the Datacenter. You may need to specify a state for the virtual machine.  This simply tells the module which action you want to take, in this case you will be ensure that the virtual machine exists and is powered on.  An optional parameter is ``wait_for_ip_address``, this will tell Ansible to wait for the virtual machine to fully boot up and VMware Tools is running before completing this task.
-
-
-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 vCenter about the newly created VM.

-
-- If you utilize the ``wait_for_ip_address`` parameter, then it will also increase the clone time as it will wait until virtual machine boots into the OS and an IP Address has been assigned to the given NIC.
-
-
-
-Troubleshooting
----------------
-
-Things to inspect:
-
-- Check if the values provided for username and password are correct.
-- Check if the datacenter you provided is available.
-- Check if the template specified exists and you have permissions to access the datastore.
-- Ensure the full folder path you specified already exists. It will not create folders automatically for you.

-With the following Ansible playbook you can find the folder path of an existing virtual machine using name.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    ---
-    - name: Find folder path of an existing virtual machine
-      hosts: localhost
-      gather_facts: False
-      vars_files:

-        ]
-    }
-
-
-Troubleshooting
----------------
-
-If your playbook fails:
-
-- Check if the values provided for username and password are correct.
-- Check if the datacenter you provided is available.
-- Check if the virtual machine specified exists and you have respective permissions to access VMware object.
-- Ensure the full folder path you specified already exists.

-
-.. warning::
-
-   The removal VMware virtual machine using ``vmware_guest`` module is destructive operation and can not be reverted, so it is strongly recommended to take the backup of virtual machine and related files (vmx and vmdk files) before proceeding.

-Since Ansible utilizes the VMware API to perform actions, in this use case it will be connecting directly to the API from localhost.
-
-This means that playbooks will not be running from the vCenter or ESXi Server.
-
-Note that this play disables the ``gather_facts`` parameter, since you don't want to collect facts about localhost.
-
-You can run these modules against another server that would then connect to the API if localhost does not have access to vCenter. If so, the required Python modules will need to be installed on that target server. We recommend installing the latest version with pip: ``pip install Pyvmomi`` (as the OS packages are usually out of date and incompatible).
-
-Before you begin, make sure you have:
-
-- Hostname of the ESXi server or vCenter server
-- Username and password for the ESXi or vCenter server
-- Name of the existing Virtual Machine you want to remove
-
-For now, you will be entering these directly, but in a more advanced playbook this can be abstracted out and stored 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>`_.
-
-If your vCenter or ESXi server is not setup with proper CA certificates that can be verified from the Ansible server, then it is necessary to disable validation of these certificates by using the ``validate_certs`` parameter. To do this you need to set ``validate_certs=False`` in your playbook.
-
-The name of existing virtual machine will be used as input for ``vmware_guest`` module via ``name`` parameter.
-
-
-What to expect
---------------
-
-- You will not see any JSON output after this playbook completes as compared to other operations performed using ``vmware_guest`` module.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    {
-        "changed": true
-    }
-
-- State is changed to ``True`` which notifies that the virtual machine is removed from the VMware inventory. This can take some time depending upon your environment and network connectivity.
-
-
-Troubleshooting
----------------
-
-If your playbook fails:
-
-- Check if the values provided for username and password are correct.
-- Check if the datacenter you provided is available.
-- Check if the virtual machine specified exists and you have permissions to access the datastore.
-- Ensure the full folder path you specified already exists. It will not create folders automatically for you.

-
-This guide will show you how to utilize Ansible to rename an existing virtual machine.
-
-Scenario requirements
-=====================
-
-* Software
-
-    * Ansible 2.5 or later must be installed.
-
-    * The Python module ``Pyvmomi`` must be installed on the Ansible control node (or Target host if not executing against localhost).
-
-    * We recommend installing the latest version with pip: ``pip install Pyvmomi`` (as the OS packages are usually out of date and incompatible).
-
-* Hardware
-
-    * At least one standalone ESXi server or
-
-    * vCenter Server with at least one ESXi server
-
-* Access / Credentials
-
-    * Ansible (or the target server) must have network access to the either vCenter server or the ESXi server
-
-    * Username and Password for vCenter or ESXi server
-
-    * Hosts in the ESXi cluster must have access to the datastore that the template resides on.
-
-Caveats
-=======
-
-- All variable names and VMware object names are case sensitive.
-- You need to use Python 2.7.9 version in order to use ``validate_certs`` option, as this version is capable of changing the SSL verification behaviours.
-
-
-Example description
-===================
-
-With the following Ansible playbook you can rename an existing virtual machine by changing the UUID.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    ---
-    - name: Rename virtual machine from old name to new name using UUID
-      gather_facts: no
-      vars_files:
-        - vcenter_vars.yml
-      vars:
-        ansible_python_interpreter: "/usr/bin/env python3"
-      hosts: localhost
-      tasks:
-        - set_fact:
-            vm_name: "old_vm_name"
-            new_vm_name: "new_vm_name"
-            datacenter: "DC1"
-            cluster_name: "DC1_C1"
-
-        - name: Get VM "{{ vm_name }}" uuid
-          vmware_guest_facts:
-            hostname: "{{ vcenter_server }}"
-            username: "{{ vcenter_user }}"
-            password: "{{ vcenter_pass }}"
-            validate_certs: False
-            datacenter: "{{ datacenter }}"
-            folder: "/{{datacenter}}/vm"
-            name: "{{ vm_name }}"
-          register: vm_facts
-
-        - name: Rename "{{ vm_name }}" to "{{ new_vm_name }}"
-          vmware_guest:
-            hostname: "{{ vcenter_server }}"
-            username: "{{ vcenter_user }}"
-            password: "{{ vcenter_pass }}"
-            validate_certs: False
-            cluster: "{{ cluster_name }}"
-            uuid: "{{ vm_facts.instance.hw_product_uuid }}"
-            name: "{{ new_vm_name }}"
-

-
-Now you need to supply the information about the existing virtual machine which will be renamed. For renaming virtual machine, ``vmware_guest`` module uses VMware UUID, which is unique across vCenter environment. This value is autogenerated and can not be changed. You will use ``vmware_guest_facts`` module to find virtual machine and get information about VMware UUID of the virtual machine.
-
-This value will be used input for ``vmware_guest`` module. Specify new name to virtual machine which conforms to all VMware requirements for naming conventions as ``name`` parameter. Also, provide ``uuid`` as the value of VMware UUID.

-          loop: "{{ vchosts.json.value }}"

-
-
-Since Ansible utilizes the VMware HTTP API using the ``uri`` module to perform actions, in this use case it will be connecting directly to the VMware HTTP API from localhost.
-
-This means that playbooks will not be running from the vCenter or ESXi Server.
-
-Note that this play disables the ``gather_facts`` parameter, since you don't want to collect facts about localhost.
-
-Before you begin, make sure you have:
-
-- Hostname of the vCenter server
-- Username and password for the vCenter server
-- Version of vCenter is at least 6.5
-
-For now, you will be entering these directly, but in a more advanced playbook this can be abstracted out and stored 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>`_.
-
-If your vCenter server is not setup with proper CA certificates that can be verified from the Ansible server, then it is necessary to disable validation of these certificates by using the ``validate_certs`` parameter. To do this you need to set ``validate_certs=False`` in your playbook.
-
-As you can see, we are using the ``uri`` module in first task to login into the vCenter server and storing result in the ``login`` variable using register. In the second task, using cookies from the first task we are gathering information about the ESXi host system.
-
-Using this information, we are changing the ESXi host system's advance configuration.
-
-What to expect

-Caveats

-- All variable names and VMware object names are case sensitive.
-- You need to use Python 2.7.9 version in order to use ``validate_certs`` option, as this version is capable of changing the SSL verification behaviors.
-
-
-Example description
-===================
-
-User can run playbooks against VMware virtual machines using ``vmware_tools`` connection plugin.
-
-In order work with ``vmware_tools`` connection plugin, you will need to specify hostvars for the given virtual machine.
-
-For example, if you want to run a playbook on a virtual machine called ``centos_7`` located at ``/Asia-Datacenter1/prod/centos_7`` in the given vCenter, you will need to specify hostvars as follows:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
-    [centos7]
-    host1
-
-    [centos7:vars]
-    # vmware_tools related variables
-    ansible_connection=vmware_tools
-    ansible_vmware_host=10.65.201.128
-    ansible_vmware_user=administrator@vsphere.local
-    ansible_vmware_password=Esxi@123$%
-    ansible_vmware_validate_certs=no
-
-    # Location of the virtual machine
-    ansible_vmware_guest_path=Asia-Datacenter1/vm/prod/centos_7
-
-    # Credentials
-    ansible_vmware_tools_user=root
-    ansible_vmware_tools_password=Secret123
-
-Here, we are providing vCenter details and credentials for the given virtual machine to run the playbook on.
-If your virtual machine path is ``Asia-Datacenter1/prod/centos_7``, you specify ``ansible_vmware_guest_path`` as ``Asia-Datacenter1/vm/prod/centos_7``. Please take a note that ``/vm`` is added in the virtual machine path, since this is a logical folder structure in the VMware inventory.
-
-Let us now run following playbook,
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    ---
-    - name: Example showing VMware Connection plugin
-      hosts: centos7
-      tasks:
-        - name: Gather information about temporary directory inside VM
-          shell: ls /tmp
-
-
-Since Ansible utilizes the ``vmware-tools`` or ``openvm-tools`` service capabilities running in the virtual machine to perform actions, in this use case it will be connecting directly to the guest machine.
-
-
-For now, you will be entering credentials in plain text, but in a more advanced playbook this can be abstracted out and stored 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>`_.
-
-
-What to expect
---------------
-
-Running this playbook can take some time, depending on your environment and network connectivity. When the run is complete you will see:

-***************************
-Ansible for VMware Concepts
-***************************
-
-Some of these concepts are common to all uses of Ansible, including VMware automation; some are specific to VMware. You need to understand them to use Ansible for VMware automation. This introduction provides the background you need to follow the :ref:`scenarios<vmware_scenarios>` in this guide.
-
-.. contents::
-   :local:
-
-Control Node
-============
-
-Any machine with Ansible installed. You can run commands and playbooks, invoking ``/usr/bin/ansible`` or ``/usr/bin/ansible-playbook``, from any control node. You can use any computer that has Python installed on it as a control node - laptops, shared desktops, and servers can all run Ansible. However, you cannot use a Windows machine as a control node. You can have multiple control nodes.
-
-Delegation
-==========
-
-Delegation allows you to select the system that executes a given task. If you do not have ``pyVmomi`` installed on your control node, use the ``delegate_to`` keyword on VMware-specific tasks to execute them on any host where you have ``pyVmomi`` installed.
-
-Modules
-=======
-
-The units of code Ansible executes. Each module has a particular use, from creating virtual machines on vCenter to managing distributed virtual switches in the vCenter environment. You can invoke a single module with a task, or invoke several different modules in a playbook.
-
-Playbooks
-=========
-
-Ordered lists of tasks, saved so you can run those tasks in that order repeatedly. Playbooks can include variables as well as tasks. Playbooks are written in YAML and are easy to read, write, share and understand.
-
-pyVmomi
-=======
-
-Ansible VMware modules are written on top of `pyVmomi <https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi>`_. ``pyVmomi`` is the official Python SDK for the VMware vSphere API that allows user to manage ESX, ESXi, and vCenter infrastructure.
-
-You need to install this Python SDK on host from where you want to invoke VMware automation. For example, if you are using control node then ``pyVmomi`` must be installed on control node.
-
-If you are using any ``delegate_to`` host which is different from your control node then you need to install ``pyVmomi`` on that ``delegate_to`` node.
-
-You can install pyVmomi using pip:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    $ pip install pyvmomi

-Introduction
-============
-
-Ansible provides various modules to manage VMware infrastructure, which includes datacenter, cluster,
-host system and virtual machine.
-
-Requirements
-============
-
-Ansible VMware modules are written on top of `pyVmomi <https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi>`_.
-pyVmomi is the Python SDK for the VMware vSphere API that allows user to manage ESX, ESXi,
-and vCenter infrastructure. You can install pyVmomi using pip (you may need to use pip3, depending on your OS/distro):
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    $ pip install pyvmomi
-
-Ansible VMware modules leveraging latest vSphere(6.0+) features are using `vSphere Automation Python SDK <https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python>`_. The vSphere Automation Python SDK also has client libraries, documentation, and sample code for VMware Cloud on AWS Console APIs, NSX VMware Cloud on AWS integration APIs, VMware Cloud on AWS site recovery APIs, NSX-T APIs.
-
-You can install vSphere Automation Python SDK using pip:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-     $ pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python.git
-
-Note:
-   Installing vSphere Automation Python SDK also installs ``pyvmomi``. A separate installation of ``pyvmomi`` is not required.
-
-vmware_guest module
-===================
-
-The :ref:`vmware_guest<ansible_collections.community.vmware.vmware_guest_module>` module manages various operations related to virtual machines in the given ESXi or vCenter server.

-VMware Dynamic Inventory Plugin
-===============================
-
-
-The best way to interact with your hosts is to use the VMware dynamic inventory plugin, which dynamically queries VMware APIs and
-tells Ansible what nodes can be managed.
-
-Requirements
-------------
-
-To use the VMware dynamic inventory plugins, you must install `pyVmomi <https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi>`_
-on your control node (the host running Ansible).
-
-To include tag-related information for the virtual machines in your dynamic inventory, you also need the `vSphere Automation SDK <https://code.vmware.com/web/sdk/65/vsphere-automation-python>`_, which supports REST API features like tagging and content libraries, on your control node.
-You can install the ``vSphere Automation SDK`` following `these instructions <https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python#installing-required-python-packages>`_.
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    $ pip install pyvmomi
-
-To use this VMware dynamic inventory plugin, you need to enable it first by specifying the following in the ``ansible.cfg`` file:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
-  [inventory]
-  enable_plugins = vmware_vm_inventory
-
-Then, create a file that ends in ``.vmware.yml`` or ``.vmware.yaml`` in your working directory.
-
-The ``vmware_vm_inventory`` script takes in the same authentication information as any VMware module.
-
-Here's an example of a valid inventory file:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    plugin: vmware_vm_inventory
-    strict: False
-    hostname: 10.65.223.31
-    username: administrator@vsphere.local
-    password: Esxi@123$%
-    validate_certs: False
-    with_tags: True
-
-
-Executing ``ansible-inventory --list -i <filename>.vmware.yml`` will create a list of VMware instances that are ready to be configured using Ansible.
-
-Using vaulted configuration files
-=================================
-
-Since the inventory configuration file contains vCenter password 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>.vmware.yml
-      New Vault password:
-      Confirm New Vault password:
-      Encryption successful
-
-And you can use this vaulted inventory configuration file using:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    $ ansible-inventory -i filename.vmware.yml --list --vault-password-file=/path/to/vault_password_file

-VMware dynamic inventory plugin - filtering VMware guests
-=========================================================
-
-
-VMware inventory plugin allows you to filter VMware guests using the ``filters`` configuration parameter.
-
-This section shows how you configure ``filters`` for the given VMware guest in the inventory.
-
-Requirements
-------------
-
-To use the VMware dynamic inventory plugins, you must install `pyVmomi <https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi>`_
-on your control node (the host running Ansible).
-
-To include tag-related information for the virtual machines in your dynamic inventory, you also need the `vSphere Automation SDK <https://code.vmware.com/web/sdk/65/vsphere-automation-python>`_, which supports REST API features such as tagging and content libraries, on your control node.
-You can install the ``vSphere Automation SDK`` following `these instructions <https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python#installing-required-python-packages>`_.
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    $ pip install pyvmomi
-
-Starting in Ansible 2.10, the VMware dynamic inventory plugin is available in the ``community.vmware`` collection included Ansible.
-Alternately, to install the latest ``community.vmware`` collection:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    $ ansible-galaxy collection install community.vmware
-
-To use this VMware dynamic inventory plugin:
-
-1. Enable it first by specifying the following in the ``ansible.cfg`` file:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
-  [inventory]
-  enable_plugins = community.vmware.vmware_vm_inventory
-
-2. Create a file that ends in ``vmware.yml`` or ``vmware.yaml`` in your working directory.
-
-The ``vmware_vm_inventory`` inventory plugin takes in the same authentication information as any other VMware modules does.
-
-Let us assume we want to list all RHEL7 VMs with the power state as "poweredOn". A valid inventory file with filters for the given VMware guest looks as follows:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    plugin: community.vmware.vmware_vm_inventory
-    strict: False
-    hostname: 10.65.223.31
-    username: administrator@vsphere.local
-    password: Esxi@123$%
-    validate_certs: False
-    with_tags: False
-    hostnames:
-    - config.name
-    filters:
-    - config.guestId == "rhel7_64Guest"
-    - summary.runtime.powerState == "poweredOn"
-
-
-Here, we have configured two filters -
-
-* ``config.guestId`` is equal to ``rhel7_64Guest``
-* ``summary.runtime.powerState`` is equal to ``poweredOn``
-
-This retrieves all the VMs which satisfy these two conditions and populates them in the inventory.
-Notice that the conditions are combined using an ``and`` operation.
-
-Using ``or`` conditions in filters
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Let us assume you want filter RHEL7 and Ubuntu VMs. You can use multiple filters using ``or`` condition in your inventory file.
-
-A valid filter in the VMware inventory file for this example is:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    plugin: community.vmware.vmware_vm_inventory
-    strict: False
-    hostname: 10.65.223.31
-    username: administrator@vsphere.local
-    password: Esxi@123$%
-    validate_certs: False
-    with_tags: False
-    hostnames:
-    - config.name
-    filters:
-    - config.guestId == "rhel7_64Guest" or config.guestId == "ubuntu64Guest"
-
-
-You can check all allowed properties for filters for the given virtual machine at :ref:`ansible_collections.community.vmware.docsite.vmware_inventory_vm_attributes`.
-
-If you are using the ``properties`` parameter with custom VM properties, make sure that you include all the properties used by filters as well in your VM property list.
-
-For example, if we want all RHEL7 and Ubuntu VMs that are poweredOn, you can use inventory file:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    plugin: community.vmware.vmware_vm_inventory
-    strict: False
-    hostname: 10.65.223.31
-    username: administrator@vsphere.local
-    password: Esxi@123$%
-    validate_certs: False
-    with_tags: False
-    hostnames:
-    - 'config.name'
-    properties:
-    - 'config.name'
-    - 'config.guestId'
-    - 'guest.ipAddress'
-    - 'summary.runtime.powerState'
-    filters:
-    - config.guestId == "rhel7_64Guest" or config.guestId == "ubuntu64Guest"
-    - summary.runtime.powerState == "poweredOn"
-
-Here, we are using minimum VM properties, that is ``config.name``, ``config.guestId``, ``summary.runtime.powerState``, and ``guest.ipAddress``.
-
-* ``config.name`` is used by the ``hostnames`` parameter.
-* ``config.guestId`` and ``summary.runtime.powerState`` are used by the ``filters`` parameter.
-* ``guest.guestId`` is used by ``ansible_host`` internally by the inventory plugin.
-
-Using regular expression in filters
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Let us assume you want filter VMs with specific IP range. You can use regular expression in ``filters`` in your inventory file.
-
-For example, if we want all RHEL7 and Ubuntu VMs that are poweredOn, you can use inventory file:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    plugin: community.vmware.vmware_vm_inventory
-    strict: False
-    hostname: 10.65.223.31
-    username: administrator@vsphere.local
-    password: Esxi@123$%
-    validate_certs: False
-    with_tags: False
-    hostnames:
-    - 'config.name'
-    properties:
-    - 'config.name'
-    - 'config.guestId'
-    - 'guest.ipAddress'
-    - 'summary.runtime.powerState'
-    filters:
-    - guest.ipAddress is defined and guest.ipAddress is match('192.168.*')
-
-Here, we are using ``guest.ipAddress`` VM property. This property is optional and depended upon VMware tools installed on VMs.
-We are using ``match`` to validate the regular expression for the given IP range.
-
-Executing ``ansible-inventory --list -i <filename>.vmware.yml`` creates a list of the virtual machines that are ready to be configured using Ansible.
-
-What to expect
---------------
-
-You will notice that the inventory hosts are filtered depending on your ``filters`` section.
-
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    {
-      "_meta": {
-        "hostvars": {
-            "template_001": {
-                "config.name": "template_001",
-                "config.guestId": "ubuntu64Guest",
-                ...
-                "guest.toolsStatus": "toolsNotInstalled",
-                "summary.runtime.powerState": "poweredOn",
-            },
-            "vm_8046": {
-                "config.name": "vm_8046",
-                "config.guestId": "rhel7_64Guest",
-                ...
-                "guest.toolsStatus": "toolsNotInstalled",
-                "summary.runtime.powerState": "poweredOn",
-            },
-        ...
-    }
-
-Troubleshooting filters
------------------------
-
-If the custom property specified in ``filters`` fails:
-
-- Check if the values provided for username and password are correct.
-- Make sure it is a valid property, see :ref:`ansible_collections.community.vmware.docsite.vmware_inventory_vm_attributes`.
-- Use ``strict: True`` to get more information about the error.
-- Please make sure that you are using latest version of the VMware collection.

-
-ESXi License
-============
-
-Access to the vSphere API is governed by the various vSphere Editions which provides both read and write access to the API.
-If you are using vSphere Hypervisor (free edition of ESXi), the vSphere API will only be available as read-only.
-All modules requires API write access to perform various actions. Hence, a free ESXi license will not be supported.
-Please check `this blog post <https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2012/02/introduction-to-the-vsphere-api-part-1.html>`_ for more details.
-
-
-Installing SSL Certificates
-===========================
-
-All vCenter and ESXi servers require SSL encryption on all connections to enforce secure communication. You must enable SSL encryption for Ansible by installing the server's SSL certificates on your Ansible control node or delegate node.
-
-If the SSL certificate of your vCenter or ESXi server is not correctly installed on your Ansible control node, you will see the following warning when using Ansible VMware modules:
-
-``Unable to connect to vCenter or ESXi API at xx.xx.xx.xx on TCP/443: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:777)``
-
-To install the SSL certificate for your VMware server,  and run your Ansible VMware modules in encrypted mode, please follow the instructions for the server you are running with VMware.
-
-Installing vCenter SSL certificates for Ansible
------------------------------------------------
-
-* From any web browser, go to the base URL of the vCenter Server without port number like ``https://vcenter-domain.example.com``
-
-* Click the "Download trusted root CA certificates" link at the bottom of the grey box on the right and download the file.
-
-* Change the extension of the file to .zip. The file is a ZIP file of all root certificates and all CRLs.
-
-* Extract the contents of the zip file. The extracted directory contains a ``.certs`` directory that contains two types of files. Files with a number as the extension (.0, .1, and so on) are root certificates.
-
-* Install the certificate files are trusted certificates by the process that is appropriate for your operating system.
-
-
-Installing ESXi SSL certificates for Ansible
---------------------------------------------
-
-* Enable SSH Service on ESXi either by using Ansible VMware module `vmware_host_service_manager <https://github.com/ansible-collections/vmware/blob/main/plugins/modules/vmware_host_config_manager.py>`_ or manually using vSphere Web interface.
-
-* SSH to ESXi server using administrative credentials, and navigate to directory ``/etc/vmware/ssl``
-
-* Secure copy (SCP) ``rui.crt`` located in ``/etc/vmware/ssl`` directory to Ansible control node.
-
-* Install the certificate file by the process that is appropriate for your operating system.
-
-Using custom path for SSL certificates
---------------------------------------
-
-If you need to use a custom path for SSL certificates, you can set the ``REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE`` environment variable in your playbook.
-
-For example, if ``/var/vmware/certs/vcenter1.crt`` is the SSL certificate for your vCenter Server, you can use the :ref:`environment <playbooks_environment>` keyword to pass it to the modules:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   - name: Gather all tags from vCenter
-     community.vmware.vmware_tag_info:
-       validate_certs: True
-       hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'
-       username: '{{ vcenter_username }}'
-       password: '{{ vcenter_password }}'
-     environment:
-       REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE: /var/vmware/certs/vcenter1.crt
-
-There is a `known issue <https://github.com/psf/requests/issues/3829>`_ in ``requests`` library (version 2) which you may want to consider when using this environment variable. Basically, setting ``REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE`` environment variable on managed nodes overrides the ``validate_certs`` value. This may result in unexpected behavior while running the playbook. Please see `community.vmware issue 601 <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/issues/601>`_ and `vmware issue 254 <https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python/issues/254>`_ for more information.

-Debugging Ansible for VMware
-============================
-
-When debugging or creating a new issue, you will need information about your VMware infrastructure. You can get this information using
-`govc <https://github.com/vmware/govmomi/tree/master/govc>`_, For example:
-
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    $ export GOVC_USERNAME=ESXI_OR_VCENTER_USERNAME
-    $ export GOVC_PASSWORD=ESXI_OR_VCENTER_PASSWORD
-    $ export GOVC_URL=https://ESXI_OR_VCENTER_HOSTNAME:443
-    $ govc find /
-
-Known issues with Ansible for VMware
-====================================
-
-
-Network settings with vmware_guest in Ubuntu 18.04
---------------------------------------------------
-
-Setting the network with ``vmware_guest`` in Ubuntu 18.04 is known to be broken, due to missing support for ``netplan`` in the ``open-vm-tools``.
-This issue is tracked via:
-
-* https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/issues/240
-* https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/41133
-
-Potential Workarounds
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-There are several workarounds for this issue.
-
-1) Modify the Ubuntu 18.04 images and installing ``ifupdown`` in them via ``sudo apt install ifupdown``.
-   If so you need to remove ``netplan`` via ``sudo apt remove netplan.io`` and you need stop ``systemd-networkd`` via ``sudo systemctl disable systemctl-networkd``.
-
-2) Generate the ``systemd-networkd`` files with a task in your VMware Ansible role:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   - name: make sure cache directory exists
-     file: path="{{ inventory_dir }}/cache" state=directory
-     delegate_to: localhost
-
-   - name: generate network templates
-     template: src=network.j2 dest="{{ inventory_dir }}/cache/{{ inventory_hostname }}.network"
-     delegate_to: localhost
-
-   - name: copy generated files to vm
-     vmware_guest_file_operation:
-       hostname: "{{ vmware_general.hostname }}"
-       username: "{{ vmware_username }}"
-       password: "{{ vmware_password }}"
-       datacenter: "{{ vmware_general.datacenter }}"
-       validate_certs: "{{ vmware_general.validate_certs }}"
-       vm_id: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
-       vm_username: root
-       vm_password: "{{ template_password }}"
-       copy:
-           src: "{{ inventory_dir }}/cache/{{ inventory_hostname }}.network"
-           dest: "/etc/systemd/network/ens160.network"
-           overwrite: False
-     delegate_to: localhost
-
-   - name: restart systemd-networkd
-     vmware_vm_shell:
-       hostname: "{{ vmware_general.hostname }}"
-       username: "{{ vmware_username }}"
-       password: "{{ vmware_password }}"
-       datacenter: "{{ vmware_general.datacenter }}"
-       folder: /vm
-       vm_id: "{{ inventory_hostname}}"
-       vm_username: root
-       vm_password: "{{ template_password }}"
-       vm_shell: /bin/systemctl
-       vm_shell_args: " restart systemd-networkd"
-     delegate_to: localhost
-
-   - name: restart systemd-resolved
-     vmware_vm_shell:
-       hostname: "{{ vmware_general.hostname }}"
-       username: "{{ vmware_username }}"
-       password: "{{ vmware_password }}"
-       datacenter: "{{ vmware_general.datacenter }}"
-       folder: /vm
-       vm_id: "{{ inventory_hostname}}"
-       vm_username: root
-       vm_password: "{{ template_password }}"
-       vm_shell: /bin/systemctl
-       vm_shell_args: " restart systemd-resolved"
-     delegate_to: localhost
-
-3) Wait for ``netplan`` support in ``open-vm-tools``
