Often when I am helping others learn Ansible, they are using nodes spun up on Amazon/Google/etc. where private key files (pem) are needed. Mentioning just a bit more on how to handle those private key files on the intro_getting_started page will help more folks get started faster.
I even reviewed the changes with my learning team and they all agreed this helped clarify immediately for them how to really get started with Ansible from a practical perspective.

Document suggested replacement moduels for kubernetes, oc, and ec2_ami_find
modules in the porting guide

removed in documentation.
* Remove removed modules from validate-modules ignore
* Remove unittests for the removed nodules
* Remove links to removed modules and add list of removed moduels to the
2.9 porting guide
* Fewer connection: local lines in module examples and scenario guides
The line 'connection: local' is not required. See
./docs/docsite/rst/inventory/implicit_localhost.rst
* Initial commit for module to manage Vexata storage volumes + fixes form code review in pr #47091.
* Fix indent errors reported by lint.
* Refactor, implement code review changes
* Moved doc fragment file to new layout
* Added explicit types for all module parameters, updated copyrights + raw string for block text.
* Added idempotency logic to openssl_pkcs12
Also decoupled the 'parse' and 'generate' function from the file write
as they are now used in different places that do not need the file to be
written to disk.
* Added idempotency tests for openssl_pkcs12
Also adds a new test for pkcs12 files with multiple certificates
* Regenerate if parsed file is invalid
* pkcs12_other_certificates check was wrong
* Updated ca_certificates to other_certificates
ca_certificates is left as an alias to other_certificates;
friendlyname depends on private key, so it will be ignored while
checking for idempotency if the pkey is not set;
idempotency check only checks for correct certs in the stack
* use different keys for different certs
* Added other_certificates in module docs
* Added changelog and porting guide
* removed unrelated porting guide entry
* renamed ca_cert* occurrence with other_cert
This reverts commit 85d836171b.
As discussed in WWG IRC meeting, we don't want Get-ADObject to be a dependency of win_domain_membership, and we need to be able to authenticate to the DC in some configs. We can revisit this change a different way for 2.9.
