`uan_packages`

The uan_packages role adds or removes additional repositories and RPMs on UANs using the Ansible zypper_repository and zypper module.

Repositories and packages added to this role will be installed or removed during image customization. Installing RPMs during post-boot node configuration can cause high system loads on large systems so these tasks run only during image customizations.

This role will only run on SLES-based nodes.

Requirements

Zypper must be installed.

The csm.gpg_keys Ansible role must be installed if uan_disable_gpg_check is false.

Role Variables
