* Fix credentials for Tower API V2 (cherry picked from commit640749d54f) * tower cred: implement credential /api/v1/ kind compatability (cherry picked from commit9cb4b70e27) * tower cred: filter user name lookup by the proper key (cherry picked from commitcd6855275e) * tower cred: update kind options in documentation (cherry picked from commit8a41233202) * tower cred: support credential kind/type for /api/v1/ and /api/v2/ (#36662) older versions of Tower (3.1) don't have a concept of CredentialTypes (this was introduced in Tower 3.2). This change detects older versions of pre-3.2 tower-cli that *only* support the deprecated `kind` attribute. (cherry picked from commit641f8b4ef6) * Add CHANGELOG entry for Ansible Tower module credential fix * properly detect the absence of credential_type in older tower-cli (#36908) (cherry picked from commita82043939b) * Do not import HAS_TOWER_CLI since it does not exist in stable-2.4 * properly pass /api/v1/ credential fields for older Towers (#36917) (cherry picked from commit0e7106b106)
Ansible
Ansible is a radically simple IT automation system. It handles configuration-management, application deployment, cloud provisioning, ad-hoc task-execution, and multinode orchestration - including trivializing things like zero downtime rolling updates with load balancers.

Many users run straight from the development branch (it's generally fine to do so), but you might also wish to consume a release.
You can find instructions here for a variety of platforms.
Design Principles
- Have a dead simple setup process and a minimal learning curve
- Manage machines very quickly and in parallel
- Avoid custom-agents and additional open ports, be agentless by leveraging the existing SSH daemon
- Describe infrastructure in a language that is both machine and human friendly
- Focus on security and easy auditability/review/rewriting of content
- Manage new remote machines instantly, without bootstrapping any software
- Allow module development in any dynamic language, not just Python
- Be usable as non-root
- Be the easiest IT automation system to use, ever.
Get Involved
- Read Community Information for all kinds of ways to contribute to and interact with the project, including mailing list information and how to submit bug reports and code to Ansible.
- All code submissions are done through pull requests. Take care to make sure no merge commits are in the submission, and use
git rebasevsgit mergefor this reason. If submitting a large code change (other than modules), it's probably a good idea to join ansible-devel and talk about what you would like to do or add first and to avoid duplicate efforts. This not only helps everyone know what's going on, it also helps save time and effort if we decide some changes are needed. - Users list: ansible-project
- Development list: ansible-devel
- Announcement list: ansible-announce - read only

Branch Info
- Releases are named after Led Zeppelin songs. (Releases prior to 2.0 were named after Van Halen songs.)
- The devel branch corresponds to the release actively under development.
- For releases 1.8 - 2.2, modules are kept in different repos, you'll want to follow core and extras
- Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases.
- We'd love to have your contributions, read Community Information for notes on how to get started.
