Request for improvements around Ansible "metal" collection

Cesar Ortega

Lack of management features in Ansible collection ("metal") developed by Equinix. As a consequence, administrators must make extensive use of API calls (Ansible "uri" module) in their playbooks

Cesar Ortega The Ansible collection for Equinix Metal has support for provisioning servers with many of the most common features needed.

As you point out, the Ansible provider does not have full coverage of the Equinix Metal APIs.
Which modules would you find most beneficial? Which management features are you accessing through the "uri "module?
Do you have a configuration in mind that we can help facilitate with Ansible improvements?
The most direct way to request improvements to the Ansible collection is by creating GitHub Issues on the project. We're sure to find similar needs in our community of users and Ansible developers. We often see direct contributions to the project from this community.
I'll make sure to take your follow-up to GitHub.
