HackMDMolecule driver culling of 2023
As part of the effort to revive molecule project some drastic measures were put in place.
Unmaintained drivers archived on January 5th, 2023: openstack, goss, libvirt, alicloud, vmware, digitalocean, kubevirt, lxd, inspec. Anyone wanting to revive and maintain one of these will have to make a pull request against molecule-plugins repository.
The relatively active drivers were moved to molecule-plugins repository, where we expected them to be maintained by the community.
Which drivers should we still see in addition to delegated?
- azure
- docker
- containers
- podman
- ec2
- gce
- vagrant
How did we measure the driver popularity?
With a simple sourcegraph search, we can get an use count for public repos. Here are some of the results:
