Developing collections
|
|
**********************
|
|
|
|
Collections are a distribution format for Ansible content. You can package and distribute playbooks, roles, modules, and plugins using collections. A typical collection addresses a set of related use cases. For example, the ``cisco.ios`` collection automates management of Cisco IOS devices.
|
|
|
|
You can create a collection and publish it to `Ansible Galaxy <https://galaxy.ansible.com>`_ or to a private Automation Hub instance. You can publish certified collections to the Red Hat Automation Hub, part of the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.
