This section discusses the behavioral changes between Ansible 2.5 and Ansible 2.6.
It is intended to assist in updating your playbooks, plugins and other parts of your Ansible infrastructure so they will work with this version of Ansible.
We suggest you read this page along with `Ansible Changelog for 2.6 <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.6/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.6.rst>`_ to understand what updates you may need to make.
* In the :ref:`nxos_igmp_interface module<nxos_igmp_interface_module>`, ``oif_prefix`` and ``oif_source`` properties are deprecated. Use ``ois_ps`` parameter with a dictionary of prefix and source to values instead.
* The ``k8s_raw`` and ``openshift_raw`` modules have been aliased to the new ``k8s`` module.
* The ``k8s`` module supports all Kubernetes resources including those from Custom Resource Definitions and aggregated API servers. This includes all OpenShift resources.
* The ``k8s`` module will not accept resources where subkeys have been snake_cased. This was a workaround that was suggested with the ``k8s_raw`` and ``openshift_raw`` modules.
* The ``k8s`` module may not accept resources where the ``api_version`` has been changed to match the shortened version in the Kubernetes Python client. You should now specify the proper full Kubernetes ``api_version`` for a resource.
* The ``k8s`` module can now process multi-document YAML files if they are passed with the ``src`` parameter. It will process each document as a separate resource. Resources provided inline with the ``resource_definition`` parameter must still be a single document.
* The ``k8s`` module will not automatically change ``Project`` creation requests into ``ProjectRequest`` creation requests as the ``openshift_raw`` module did. You must now specify the ``ProjectRequest`` kind explicitly.
* The ``k8s`` module will not automatically remove secrets from the Ansible return values (and by extension the log). In order to prevent secret values in a task from being logged, specify the ``no_log`` parameter on the task block.
* The ``k8s_scale`` module now supports scalable OpenShift objects, such as ``DeploymentConfig``.
* Openstack modules are no longer using ``shade`` library. Instead ``openstacksdk`` is used. Since ``openstacksdk`` should be already present as a dependency to ``shade`` no additional actions are required.
The following modules will be removed in Ansible 2.10. Please update your playbooks accordingly.
*``openshift`` use ``k8s`` instead.
Noteworthy plugin changes
-------------------------
* The ``k8s`` lookup plugin now supports all Kubernetes resources including those from Custom Resource Definitions and aggregated API servers. This includes all OpenShift resources.
* The ``k8s`` lookup plugin may not accept resources where the ``api_version`` has been changed to match the shortened version in the Kubernetes Python client. You should now specify the proper full Kubernetes ``api_version`` for a resource.
* The ``k8s`` lookup plugin will no longer remove secrets from the Ansible return values (and by extension the log). In order to prevent secret values in a task from being logged, specify the ``no_log`` parameter on the task block.
*``contrib/inventory/openstack.py`` has been renamed to ``contrib/inventory/openstack_inventory.py``. If you have used ``openstack.py`` as a name for your OpenStack dynamic inventory file, change it to ``openstack_inventory.py``. Otherwise the file name will conflict with imports from ``openstacksdk``.
