hybridops.helper

Helper roles for HybridOps platform validation, EVE-NG content handling, and NetBox seeding.

This collection contains small roles that extend the higher-level platform services in hybridops.app and hybridops.common without bloating those collections.

Role-level variables and assumptions are documented in each role's README.md. Broader operator guidance lives at docs.hybridops.tech.

Scope

• EVE-NG validation and content delivery helpers.
• NetBox seeding helpers.
• Small operational roles that are reused across multiple modules and blueprints.

Roles

Role	Purpose
eveng_healthcheck	Verify the health of an EVE-NG deployment.
eveng_images	Deliver node images into EVE-NG.
eveng_labs	Deliver lab content into EVE-NG.
netbox_seed	Seed NetBox with initial or curated platform data.

• Ansible ansible-core 2.15+
• Python 3.10+ on the control node
