Majic Ansible Roles are currently written and tested for use with an extremely old version of Ansible (2.9.x). This brings the following problems with it:

• Ansible version is no longer maintained/supported.
• Outdated modules.
• Lack of many convenient modules and options.
• More and more packages are becoming harder to install due to Python version they are intended for being very old.

In order to ensure the roles are maintainable in the long run, it is necessary to bring port the roles to latest supported version of Ansible.

The following should be done:

• Switch to using Ansible 10.x series.
• Upgrade project requirements related to testing.
• Update the test framework and role tests.
  • Switch to latest available version of Molecule.
  • Upgrade test framework configuration files.
  • Update the test runner script to accommodate running the linting checks separately (recent versions of Molecule have dropped the support/command used for running linters). Cover the following linters: flake8 (for tests) and yamllint/ansible-lint (for Ansible files).
• Update all roles as necessary to make them compatible with Ansible 10.x.
• Update tests for all roles as required.
• Thoroughly test all roles, ensuring everything runs as expected.
• Update the test site configuration and roles to make them compatible with Ansible 10.x.
• Update development instructions.
• Update role reference documentation.
• Update usage instructions.
• Update release noets.
