Your organization uses Ansible Automation Platform 2.2 with private Automation Hub. You have developed a custom collection named 'my_company.network' that depends on 'cisco.ios' and 'vyos.vyos'. The collection is published in your private hub. You are building an execution environment using ansible-builder. The execution-environment.yml specifies 'EE_BASE_IMAGE: registry.redhat.io/ansible-automation-platform-22/ee-supported-rhel8:latest'. The dependencies section points to a requirements.yml file that includes your collection. When you run 'ansible-builder build', the build succeeds, but when running a playbook that uses modules from 'cisco.ios', you get an error 'module not found'. What is the most likely reason and the correct action to resolve it?

You are a Red Hat Certified Engineer tasked with creating a content collection for your organization. The collection will contain roles and modules used by multiple teams. The requirements are: (1) The collection must follow the Ansible community structure. (2) It must include a module that manages network devices. (3) The collection must be versioned and published to Automation Hub. (4) You must provide a minimal working example for other developers. After initial development, you run 'ansible-galaxy collection build' and it fails with 'ERROR! Unknown file type in collection: .gitkeep'. The collection directory contains: - galaxy.yml - plugins/modules/network_config.py - roles/network/ - tests/ - .gitkeep (in tests/) What single action should you take to resolve the build error?

You are building an execution environment for a large enterprise that requires several collections from both Red Hat Automation Hub and an internal GitLab repository. Your execution-environment.yml file includes both sources. However, the build process consistently fails during the 'adding collections' step with an error indicating that a specific collection from the internal Git repository cannot be found.

What is the most likely reason for the failure?

An organization wants to share a collection internally across multiple teams while ensuring that each team can only use specific modules from the collection. Which approach best supports this requirement?

A DevOps team maintains an Ansible environment using execution environments. They have been using a local execution environment image named 'custom-ee:latest' built with ansible-builder. Recently, they updated the requirements.yml file to include a new collection from Automation Hub. They rebuilt the execution environment using ansible-builder and pushed it to their private registry as 'registry.internal/custom-ee:1.2'. However, when running ansible-navigator on a control node, it still uses the old local image and does not pull the updated one. The ansible-navigator configuration file (ansible-navigator.yml) specifies: execution-environment: image: registry.internal/custom-ee:1.2 enabled: true pull: policy: tag The control node has no prior local image with that tag. What is the most likely reason the new image is not being used?

An organization uses ansible-builder to create an execution environment (EE) for network automation. The EE includes a custom collection 'acme.network' that requires the 'netaddr' Python library. The ansible-builder definition file (execution-environment.yml) lists 'netaddr' in the requirements.txt under dependencies.python.
