Persistent Connection changes in 2.5(gundalow, 16:07:17)
Now that
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/32825 is merged the
Persistent Connection socket will be closed at the end of every
play. Previously the socket would be left open for $TIMEOUT seconds
after an ansible-playbook run(gundalow,
16:08:05)
We are looking at including the PID of the main
ansible process as part of the socket hash.(gundalow,

connection: network_cli is in devel, this is a
big change, we welcome testing(gundalow,
16:09:51)
We are putting together some draft developer
docs on `connection: network_cli`(gundalow,

There is an issue with VyOS 1.1.7 AWS image
causing Shippable TEST=network issues to fail with a ssh key error.
This is an AWS/VyOS bug. Fix is in flight(gundalow,

Right now in 2.5 you can do `connection:
network_cli` for the Core maintained network modules(gundalow,
16:57:22)
HTP(s) transports such as EAPI and NXAPI have
not changed *yet*. It's likely that in 2.5 that they will not
change, so you will still need `provider:\n transport: eapi`(gundalow,
16:58:57)
The aim is in 2.6 to add support for
`connection: network_eapi` `connection: network_nxapi`(gundalow,
16:59:35)
when using `connection: network_cli` you must
use `become:` & `become_method`(gundalow,
17:00:19)
User facing docs for network_cli are in
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/31807 which also details
`become`(gundalow,
