-Ansible Turbo mode
-******************
-
-Following document provides overview of Ansible Turbo mode in ``kubernetes.core`` collection.
-
-.. contents::
-   :local:
-   :depth: 1
-
-
-Synopsis
---------
-- A brief introduction about Ansible Turbo mode in ``kuberentes.core`` collection.
-- Ansible Turbo mode is an optional performance optimization. It can be enabled by installing the cloud.common collection and setting the ``ENABLE_TURBO_MODE`` environment variable.
-
-Requirements
-------------
-
-The following requirement is needed on the host that executes this module.
-
-- The ``cloud.common`` collection (https://github.com/ansible-collections/cloud.common)
-
-You will also need to set the environment variable ``ENABLE_TURBO_MODE=1`` on the managed host. This can be done in the same ways you would usually do so, for example::
-
-  ---
-  - hosts: remote
-    environment:
-      ENABLE_TURBO_MODE: 1
-    tasks:
-      ...
-
-
-Installation
-------------
-
-You can install ``cloud.common`` collection using following command::
-
-    # ansible-galaxy collection install cloud.common
-
-
-Current situation without Ansible Turbo mode
-============================================
-
-The traditional execution flow of an Ansible module includes the following steps:
-
-- Upload of a ZIP archive with the module and its dependencies
-- Execution of the module
-- Ansible collects the results once the script is finished
-
-These steps happen for each task of a playbook, and on every host.
-
-Most of the time, the execution of a module is fast enough for
-the user. However, sometime the module requires significant amount of time,
-just to initialize itself. This is a common situation with the API based modules.
-
-A classic initialization involves the following steps:
-
-- Load a Python library to access the remote resource (via SDK)
-- Open a client
-    - Load a bunch of Python modules.
-    - Request a new TCP connection.
-    - Create a session.
-    - Authenticate the client.
-
-All these steps are time consuming and the same operations will be running again and again.
-
-For instance, here:
-
-- ``import openstack``: takes 0.569s
-- ``client = openstack.connect()``: takes 0.065s
-- ``client.authorize()``: takes 1.360s,
-
-These numbers are from test running against VexxHost public cloud.
-
-In this case, it's a 2s-ish overhead per task. If the playbook
-comes with 10 tasks, the execution time cannot go below 20s.
-
-How Ansible Turbo Module improve the situation
-==============================================
-
-``AnsibleTurboModule`` is actually a class that inherites from
-the standard ``AnsibleModule`` class that your modules probably
-already use.
-The big difference is that when a module starts, it also spawns
-a little Python daemon. If a daemon already exists, it will just
-reuse it.
-All the module logic is run inside this Python daemon. This means:
-
-- Python modules are actually loaded one time
-- Ansible module can reuse an existing authenticated session.
-
-The background service
-======================
-
-The daemon kills itself after 15s, and communication are done
-through an Unix socket.
-It runs in one single process and uses ``asyncio`` internally.
-Consequently you can use the ``async`` keyword in your Ansible module.
-This will be handy if you interact with a lot of remote systems
-at the same time.
-
-Security impact
-===============
-
-``ansible_module.turbo`` open an Unix socket to interact with the background service.
-We use this service to open the connection toward the different target systems.
-
-This is similar to what SSH does with the sockets.
-
-Keep in mind that:
-
-- All the modules can access the same cache. Soon an isolation will be done at the collection level (https://github.com/ansible-collections/cloud.common/pull/17)
-- A task can load a different version of a library and impact the next tasks.
-- If the same user runs two ``ansible-playbook`` at the same time, they will have access to the same cache.
-
-When a module stores a session in a cache, it's a good idea to use a hash of the authentication information to identify the session.
-
-Error management
-================
-
-``ansible_module.turbo`` uses exceptions to communicate a result back to the module.
-
-- ``EmbeddedModuleFailure`` is raised when ``json_fail()`` is called.
-- ``EmbeddedModuleSuccess`` is raised in case of success and returns the result to the origin module process.
-
-These exceptions are defined in ``ansible_collections.cloud.common.plugins.module_utils.turbo.exceptions``.
-You can raise ``EmbeddedModuleFailure`` exception yourself, for instance from a module in ``module_utils``.
-
-.. note:: Be careful with the ``except Exception:`` blocks.
-    Not only they are bad practice, but also may interface with this
-    mechanism.
-
-
-Troubleshooting
-===============
-
-You may want to manually start the server. This can be done with the following command:
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-
-  PYTHONPATH=$HOME/.ansible/collections python -m ansible_collections.cloud.common.plugins.module_utils.turbo.server --socket-path $HOME/.ansible/tmp/turbo_mode.kubernetes.core.socket
-
-You can use the ``--help`` argument to get a list of the optional parameters.

-Kubernetes dynamic inventory plugin
-===================================
-
-
-The best way to interact with your Pods is to use the Kubernetes dynamic inventory plugin, which queries Kubernetes APIs using ``kubectl`` command line available on controller node and tells Ansible what Pods can be managed.
-
-Requirements
-------------
-
-To use the Kubernetes dynamic inventory plugins, you must install `Kubernetes Python client <https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python>`_, `kubectl <https://github.com/kubernetes/kubectl>`_ on your control node (the host running Ansible).
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    $ pip install kubernetes
-
-Please refer to Kubernetes official documentation for `installing kubectl <https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/>`_ on the given operating systems.
-
-To use this Kubernetes dynamic inventory plugin, you need to enable it first by specifying the following in the ``ansible.cfg`` file:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
-  [inventory]
-  enable_plugins = kubernetes.core.k8s
-
-Then, create a file that ends in ``.k8s.yml`` or ``.k8s.yaml`` in your working directory.
-
-The ``kubernetes.core.k8s`` inventory plugin takes in the same authentication information as any other Kubernetes modules.
-
-Here's an example of a valid inventory file:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    plugin: kubernetes.core.k8s
-
-Executing ``ansible-inventory --list -i <filename>.k8s.yml`` will create a list of Pods that are ready to be configured using Ansible.
-
-You can also provide the namespace to gather information about specific pods from the given namespace. For example, to gather information about Pods under the ``test`` namespace you will specify the ``namespaces`` parameter:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    plugin: kubernetes.core.k8s
-    connections:
-    - namespaces:
-        - test
-
-Using vaulted configuration files
-=================================
-
-Since the inventory configuration file contains Kubernetes related sensitive information in plain text, a security risk, you may want to
-encrypt your entire inventory configuration file.
-
-You can encrypt a valid inventory configuration file as follows:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    $ ansible-vault encrypt <filename>.k8s.yml
-      New Vault password:
-      Confirm New Vault password:
-      Encryption successful
-
-    $ echo "MySuperSecretPassw0rd!" > /path/to/vault_password_file
-
-And you can use this vaulted inventory configuration file using:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    $ ansible-inventory -i <filename>.k8s.yml --list --vault-password-file=/path/to/vault_password_file
