cloud / cloud.common
In cloud collections, common refers to shared files or libraries that provide foundational functionalities or utilities used across multiple cloud-related Ansible collections. These common files typically include code for handling authentication, establishing connections, error handling, logging, and other utilities that standardize and streamline the development and maintenance of cloud-specific collections. By leveraging a common set of files, the collections can ensure consistency, reduce duplication, and facilitate more accessible updates and bug fixes across the board.
The cloud.common Ansible collection offers a suite of shared resources and utilities that underpin multiple cloud-specific Ansible collections, ensuring uniform functionality and efficiency. It centralizes common tasks such as authentication, connection handling, and error management, facilitating the development of cloud automation modules. This foundational collection enhances consistency and reduces duplication across Ansible's cloud-related automation efforts.
