ModuLix collections
An Ansible collection is a versioned distribution boundary. It gives roles and plugins a fully qualified name and lets consumers pin a reviewed release.
Public collections
The following repositories were verified as public at this page's review date.
The namespace and collection names come from each repository's galaxy.yml.
| Collection | Public source | Documented scope |
|---|---|---|
lit.foundational | ansible-collection-foundational | Foundational building blocks for infrastructure automation |
lit.rhel | ansible-collection-rhel | Red Hat Enterprise Linux focused content |
lit.ubuntu | ansible-collection-ubuntu | Ubuntu focused content |
lit.ocp | ansible-collection-ocp | OpenShift Container Platform focused content |
lit.supplementary | ansible-collection-supplementary | Optional infrastructure services |
This table is an index, not a compatibility matrix. Open the selected repository's release notes, testing documentation, and role documentation before adopting it.
Evaluate a collection release
Use the same decision record for every collection:
- Select an immutable release tag or commit.
- Confirm the source repository, namespace, and collection name.
- Read release notes for breaking changes and deprecations.
- Check supported controller and target versions in that release.
- Review required external collections and Python or system dependencies.
- Verify signatures, checksums, or provenance when the release provides them.
- Test the exact artifact in a representative non-production environment.
- Record the approved version and the reason for selecting it.
Keep ownership close to code
Variables, defaults, platform matrices, and role-specific examples can change with a collection. Their canonical documentation therefore stays in the public component repository. This site owns the cross-collection concepts and safe selection workflow.
See Installation for a pinned evaluation example and Lifecycle for upgrade and retirement decisions.
