* Retain vault password as bytes in 2.2
Prior to 2.2.1, the vault password was read in as byes and then remained
bytes all the way through the code. A bug existed where bytes and text
were mixed, leading to a traceback with non-ascii passwords. In devel,
this was fixed by changing the read in password to text type to match
with our overall strategy of converting at the borders. This was
backported to stable-2.2 for the 2.2.1 release.
On reflection, this should not have been backported as it causes
passwords which were originally non-utf-8 to become utf-8. People will
then have their working 2.2.x vault files become in-accessible.
this commit pipes bytes all the way through the system for vault
password. That way if a password is read in as a non-utf-8 character
sequence, it will continue to work in 2.2.2+. This change is only for
the 2.2 branch, not for 2.3 and beyond.
Why not everywhere? The reason is that non-utf-8 passwords will cause
problems when vault files are shared between systems or users. If the
password is read from the prompt and one user/machine has a latin1
encoded locale while a second one has utf-8, the non-ascii password
typed in won't match between machines. Deal with this by making sure
that when we encrypt the data, we always use valid utf-8.

* description is only required when group state is present
also note that AWS requires a non-empty description when creating a security group
* clarify description requirement
If a user makes a PR with a single, detailed commit message, github will
put that at the top of the PR. Move our summary field to the top of
the PR template so that it is next to where the commit message is
placed. Users can then easily merge the two together or supplement the
commit message with additional information that we ask for.
One way to trigger this is having this snippet in meta/main.yml:
dependencies:
- role: foo
when: "use_foo == True"
It shouldn't show a warning but since we assume that 'foo' is the old
style format, it always show one. So we should verify the
style before calling role_spec_parse.
* virt.py: autostart VM attribute
autostart is now an idempotent VM attribute instead of a non idempotent forced autostart attribute set to True
* Make shippable happy
* Missing version added
* Fix some points
* Autostart default is now None
* Ident fix
Without this, changing a large number of files results in target
processing taking a very long time due to repeatedly compiling
the same patterns in a loop over many targets.
1. Check less aggressively for resources that take a long time to return
(some resources can take an hour or more).
2. Handle throttling when checking for resources, and back off quickly
when it occurs.
* Add user_data_path parameter to ec2_lc module
* Improve user_data_path parameter documentation
- Specify mutual exclusivity
- Specify `version_added`
- Change module parameter type to `path`
* Use correct comparison for user_data result
* Include traceback on error and use with block
* Only hide user data if provided in file
The existing examples in the "Gotchas" section were rather simple. Expanded upon those to add some additional clarity around how the quoting in YAML works.
* Added example of referring to AWS-credentials
.. when they're stored in variables. Spent few hours trying to figure out why credentials from vault/variables were not used.
* Update guide_aws.rst
Edited for grammar.
* inventory: test 'all' & 'ungrouped' groups created by default
* Mention default groups 'all' & 'ungrouped'
* Update intro_inventory.rst
Minor grammatical edit.
