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 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.
