Changes

Update Default Project and Infrastructure Dependencies

Binaries

• Terraform 1.6.6 -> 1.7.4
• kubectl 1.27.9 -> 1.27.11
• helm 3.13.2 -> 3.14.2

Python Dependencies

• ansible -> ansible-core 2.16.4
  • Switching this dep since ansible is just ansible-core without the bundled community packages, we end up installing community.general from our requirements.yaml and this prevents us from installing that collection twice (saves ~400MB in the uncompressed image).
    • Video about diff between ansible & ansible-core
• kubernetes 26.1.0 -> 27.2.0
  • Used by kubernetes.core and we don't use it for anything too complex, updating here to match our kubernetes versions so the features/API Objects match
  • https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python?tab=readme-ov-file#compatibility
• dnspython 2.3.0 -> 2.6.1
• openshift 0.13.1 -> 0.13.2

Ansible Dependencies

• community.general 5.6.0 -> 8.4.0
  • ansible-core 2.13-2.16 supported still, this should not be breaking we just moved where community.general were coming from, directly from the pypi install vs installing them afterward with ansible galaxy. This also stops us from installing community.general twice in two spots making the image larger than it needs to be.
• community.postgresql 2.2.0 -> 3.3.0
  • Major version update, but none of the breaking changes affect us https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.postgresql/blob/main/CHANGELOG.rst#v300
• kubernetes.core 2.3.2 -> 2.4.0
• ansible.posix 1.4.0 -> 1.5.4
• ansible.utils 2.6.1 -> 2.12.0
