Out of curiosity
Does CS9 provide additional (sub)packages to extend the functionality?
Not generally. ansible-core has been added to CS9 in support of
System Roles only. This is analogous to how ansible is made available
in RHEL 8. System Roles will include the modules/plugins it needs to
manage the various areas of the OS, but they are not general purpose
ansible packages.
Right now EPEL8 provide the the full stack based on ansible 2.9.
Will EPEL9 provide such packages to provide additional modules/plugins?
And more a ansible question: Does ansible3 provide a dependencies
manager as consequence now?
I'll leave these for Kevin or someone else to answer in terms of EPEL 9 plans.
