Release Notes for AVD 6.x.x¶

Documentation for AVD version 6.x.x available here

Versioning¶

The AVD project follows Semantic Versioning. For the best user experience, we recommend working with the latest stable release. If you are upgrading from version 5.x, please see the 6.0.0 release notes.

For additional information, please see versioning.

Release 6.0.0¶

Changes to requirements¶

Python requirements:
- PyAVD no longer requires the cvprac, treelib and jsonschema libraries.
- PyAVD now requires the anta Python library as a core dependency.
- PyAVD now requires the pyavd-utils Python library. It will be installed automatically when upgrading pyavd.
- PyAVD now requires the cryptography Python library to be version 43.0.0 or higher. It will be installed automatically when upgrading pyavd.
- PyAVD now requires the python-socks[asyncio] Python library to be version 2.7.2 or higher. It will be installed automatically when upgrading pyavd.
- PyAVD now supports ansible-core from 2.16.0 to 2.20.x. The latest version can be installed with pip install "ansible-core<2.21" --upgrade.
  
  Note
  
  ansible-core version 2.19 and later contains many changes to how templating is done. You may see errors around undefined variables, and these must be resolved before running AVD. Previously such errors were silently ignored.

Ansible collection requirements:
- arista.avd Ansible collection no longer requires the arista.cvp and ansible.utils collections.

Removal of Ansible components¶

The following Ansible components have been removed from the arista.avd Ansible collection in version 6.0.0.

Component type	Name	Replacement
Action plugin/Module	`arista.avd.configlet_build_config`	The internal `arista.avd.configlet_build_config` module is no longer used by AVD. The plugin is released as open source, so it can be copied and reused according to the license and copyright.
Action plugin/Module	`arista.avd.inventory_to_container`	The internal `arista.avd.inventory_to_container` module is no longer used by AVD. The plugin is released as open source, so it can be copied and reused according to the license and copyright.
Role	`arista.avd.dhcp_provisioner`	The role is not compatible with modern DHCP servers and should not be used for production. The `arista.avd.dhcp_provisioner` role is released as open source, so it can be copied and reused according to the license and copyright.
Role	`arista.avd.eos_config_deploy_cvp`	Migrate to `arista.avd.cv_deploy`. See the detailed porting guide for instructions.
Role	`arista.avd.cvp_configlet_upload`	Migrate to `arista.avd.cv_deploy`. See the detailed porting guide for instructions.
Role	`arista.avd.eos_validate_state`	Migrate to `arista.avd.anta_runner`. See the how-to guide for instructions.

Schema naming changes¶

In AVD 6.0.0, the data model schemas have been renamed to better reflect their purpose and improve clarity in documentation and error messages:

Previous Schema Name	New Schema Name	Ansible Role using the schema	PyAVD function using the schema
`eos_designs`	AVD Design	`arista.avd.eos_designs` (unchanged)	`validate_inputs`
`eos_cli_config_gen`	EOS Config	`arista.avd.eos_cli_config_gen` (unchanged)	`validate_structured_config`

Note

No changes to playbooks or inventory are required. You may see the new schema names in:

Documentation references
Schema validation error messages
Warning messages
Release notes and porting guide

The new naming convention provides clearer distinction between:

AVD Design (eos_designs role): High-level fabric design and topology abstraction.
EOS Config (eos_cli_config_gen role): Low-level EOS configuration.

Breaking Changes¶

Breaking changes may require modifications to the inventory or playbook. See the Porting guide for AVD 6.x.x for details.
