Jakob Meng 4bfa135b20 Raise minimum OpenStack SDK version to 0.99.0
Alongside OpenStack SDK 1.0.0 we will release a new collection version
2.0.0 which is compatible to OpenStack SDK 1.x.x series only. Code in
branch stable/1.0.0 will remain compatible to OpenStack SDK 0.x.x
series only. Release candidates for the first major release of
OpenStackSDK 1.x.x will be numbered using 0.99.x versions.

At Ansible OpenStack modules PTG on 2022-04-07 it was decided to raise
an error if one is using a incompatible releases of the OpenStack SDK
with our collection. We decided against showing warnings only because
they can be missed easily and functionality  will be broken but
probably hardly detectable when using the wrong SDK.

This patch bumps the minimum required SDK versions to 0.99.0, so that
an error will be raised when users try to use our collection with an
incompatible SDK release, e.g. use code from our master branch with
a OpenStack SDK 0.x.x release.

# Ansible Collection: openstack.cloud
This repo hosts the `openstack.cloud` Ansible Collection.
The collection includes the Openstack modules and plugins supported by Openstack community to help the management of Openstack infrastructure.
:warning: **WARNING:**
This collection is currently being ported to the upcoming OpenStack SDK 1.\* release. SDK version 1.\* introduces
numerous API changes which break backward compatibility with previous 0.\* releases. Since keeping a single collection
release compatible with both SDK series is not sustainable, our collection codebase has been split:
Branch stable/1.0.0 and 1.\*.\* releases of the collection are compatible with previous OpenStack SDK 0.\* releases
only. The master branch and upcoming 2.\*.\* releases of this collection will be compatible with SDK 1.\* only. Both
branches will continue to be maintained for now. Patches from master will be backported to stable/1.0.0 on a best effort
basis but expect new features to be introduced in the master branch only. Contributions are welcome for both branches!
:warning:
## Installation and Usage
### Installing dependencies
For using the Openstack Cloud collection firstly you need to install `ansible` and `openstacksdk` Python modules on your Ansible controller.
For example with pip:
```bash
pip install "ansible>=2.9" "openstacksdk>=0.99.0"
```
OpenStackSDK has to be available to Ansible and to the Python interpreter on the host, where Ansible executes the module (target host).
Please note, that under some circumstances Ansible might invoke a non-standard Python interpreter on the target host.
Using Python version 3 is highly recommended for OpenstackSDK and strongly required from OpenstackSDK version 0.39.0.
---
#### NOTE
OpenstackSDK is better to be the last stable version. It should NOT be installed on Openstack nodes,
but rather on operators host (aka "Ansible controller"). OpenstackSDK from last version supports
operations on all Openstack cloud versions. Therefore OpenstackSDK module version doesn't have to match
Openstack cloud version usually.
---
### Installing the Collection from Ansible Galaxy
Before using the Openstack Cloud collection, you need to install the collection with the `ansible-galaxy` CLI:
`ansible-galaxy collection install openstack.cloud`
You can also include it in a `requirements.yml` file and install it through `ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml` using the format:
```yaml
collections:
- name: openstack.cloud
```
### Playbooks
To use a module from the Openstack Cloud collection, please reference the full namespace, collection name, and module name that you want to use:
```yaml
---
- name: Using Openstack Cloud collection
hosts: localhost
tasks:
- openstack.cloud.server:
name: vm
state: present
cloud: openstack
region_name: ams01
image: Ubuntu Server 14.04
flavor_ram: 4096
boot_from_volume: True
volume_size: 75
```
Or you can add the full namespace and collection name in the `collections` element:
```yaml
---
- name: Using Openstack Cloud collection
hosts: localhost
collections:
- openstack.cloud
tasks:
- server_volume:
state: present
cloud: openstack
server: Mysql-server
volume: mysql-data
device: /dev/vdb
```
### Usage
See the collection docs at Ansible site:
* [openstack.cloud collection docs (version released in Ansible package)](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/openstack/cloud/index.html)
* [openstack.cloud collection docs (devel version)](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/collections/openstack/cloud/index.html)

There are many ways in which you can participate in the project, for example:
- Submit [bugs and feature requests](https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project/openstack/ansible-collections-openstack), and help us verify them
- Submit and review source code changes in [Openstack Gerrit](https://review.opendev.org/#/q/project:openstack/ansible-collections-openstack)
- Add new modules for Openstack Cloud
We work with [OpenDev Gerrit](https://review.opendev.org/), pull requests submitted through GitHub will be ignored.
## Testing and Development
If you want to develop new content for this collection or improve what is already here, the easiest way to work on the collection is to clone it into one of the configured [`COLLECTIONS_PATHS`](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html#collections-paths), and work on it there.
### Testing with `ansible-test`
We use `ansible-test` for sanity:
```bash
tox -e linters
```
