Update for Requirements

Release 3.8.0

  • Version 3.8.0 includes input data validation for eos_cli_config_gen based on data model schemas. By default data issues will be reported as warnings and will not block the playbook. See details here.

    Please report any problems on Github discussions, if it seems like the schema is wrong or too restrictive. Other feedback is also most welcome.

Changes to requirements

  • AVD now requires ansible-core from 2.11.3 to 2.12.x excluding 2.12.0 to 2.12.5
    Excluded versions have an issue in ansible-core, which is fixed in 2.12.6 and 2.13.1.
    If Ansible is installed using pip, a supported version can be installed with pip3 install "ansible-core>=2.11.3,<2.13.0,!=2.12.0,!=2.12.1,!=2.12.2,!=2.12.3,!=2.12.4,!=2.12.5".

Note

Plugin loader will now load config data for plugin by name instead of by file to avoid issues with the same file being loaded under different names (Fully-Qualified-Collection-Name + short-name).

  • AVD now requires a newer version of the Python package jsonschema>=4.5.1.
    A supported version can be installed with pip3 install "jsonschema>=4.5.1".

Data model modifications (non-breaking)

This section provides an overview of the data model that have changed from the previous release, but are backwards compatible.

No changes are required for existing deployments.

See the release notes and role documentation for all new additions.

Changes to eos_designs role

  • Network Services variables:

    • evpn_rt_type has been renamed to overlay_rt_type as part of preparations for MPLS design. The old key is still supported.
    • evpn_rd_type has been renamed to overlay_rd_type as part of preparations for MPLS design. The old key is still supported.
    • vxlan_vlan_aware_bundles has been renamed to evpn_vlan_aware_bundles as part of preparations for MPLS design. The old key is still supported.

Change to requirements

The Ansible Collection community.general is no longer required by the arista.avd collection. This means that community.general will no longer be installed automatically by ansible-galaxycommands.

If your project use components in community.general like callbacks (ex. yaml), you must ensure that this collection is installed.

Existing installations will not be affected by this, since community.general would already be installed.

Release 3.0.0

Provides major enhancements and data model has been updated!

Data model Updated

Data model updated for roles:

- eos_designs.
- eos_cli_config_gen.

Upgrade functionality has been added to the eos_designs role. See README for details.

Upgrade functionality has been added to the eos_cli_config_gen role. See README for details.

New Requirements

  • Ansible requirements has changed to ansible-core. Upgrade of Ansible may require uninstall of ansible and ansible-base first.
  • ansible-core does not include community collections. For existing projects you may need to also install ansible or other individual collections after installing ansible-core.

  • Collections required for AVD 3.0.0 will be installed automatically if AVD is installed using ansible-galaxy. If AVD is installed via GIT clone, the extra collections can be installed with:

    ansible-galaxy collection install -r ansible-avd/ansible_collections/arista/avd/collections.yml

  • cvprac must be upgraded to version 1.0.7 or higher.

    pip install --upgrade cvprac>=1.0.7

This section provides an overview of only the data model that have changed from the previous release that would require user modifications. See the release notes and role documentation for all new additions.
