Request for improvements around Ansible "metal" collection

This idea was imported from Canny. Originally created by: Cesar Ortega. The current owner is: Marques Johansson.

Lack of management features in Ansible collection ("metal") developed by Equinix. As a consequence, administrators must make extensive use of API calls (Ansible "uri" module) in their playbooks

    Cesar Ortega The Ansible collection for Equinix Metal has support for provisioning servers with many of the most common features needed. https://github.com/equinix/ansible-collection-metal#included-content As you point out, the Ansible provider does not have full coverage of the Equinix Metal APIs. Which modules would you find most beneficial? Which management features are you accessing through the "uri "module? Do you have a configuration in mind that we can help facilitate with Ansible improvements? The most direct way to request improvements to the Ansible collection is by creating GitHub Issues on the project. We're sure to find similar needs in our community of users and Ansible developers. We often see direct contributions to the project from this community. I'll make sure to take your follow-up to GitHub.
