IAG to End Install of Python Packages for Optional Integrations (2023.2.0)

Effective in the 2023.2 release, IAG will no longer install Python packages needed for the following optional integrations:

• GRPC
• Hashicorp Vault
• LDAP
• Netconf
• Netmiko
• Nornir

What does this mean for customers?

If one of the above integrations is enabled in a new install of IAG and a user has not installed the proper package, the server will not start and will present the user with an error message. To enable the integration, the user will need to install the proper python packages within the Virtual Environment (VENV) that IAG is running in. For more detail, refer to Python Packages for Optional Integrations in the RHEL 8 Full Installation Method.
