The Ansible Cisco IOSXR collection includes a variety of Ansible content to help automate the management of Cisco IOSXR network appliances.
This collection has been tested against Cisco IOS-XR version 7.0.2
As a Red Hat Ansible Certified Content, this collection is entitled to support through Ansible Automation Platform (AAP).
If a support case cannot be opened with Red Hat and the collection has been obtained either from Galaxy or GitHub, there is community support available at no charge.
You can join us on #network:ansible.com room or the Ansible Forum Network Working Group.
