Often when I am helping others learn Ansible, they are using nodes spun up on Amazon/Google/etc. where private key files (pem) are needed. Mentioning just a bit more on how to handle those private key files on the intro_getting_started page will help more folks get started faster.
I even reviewed the changes with my learning team and they all agreed this helped clarify immediately for them how to really get started with Ansible from a practical perspective.

* Initial commit for module to manage Vexata storage volumes + fixes form code review in pr #47091.
* Fix indent errors reported by lint.
* Refactor, implement code review changes
* Moved doc fragment file to new layout
* Added explicit types for all module parameters, updated copyrights + raw string for block text.
* Added idempotency logic to openssl_pkcs12
Also decoupled the 'parse' and 'generate' function from the file write
as they are now used in different places that do not need the file to be
written to disk.
* Added idempotency tests for openssl_pkcs12
Also adds a new test for pkcs12 files with multiple certificates
* Regenerate if parsed file is invalid
* pkcs12_other_certificates check was wrong
* Updated ca_certificates to other_certificates
ca_certificates is left as an alias to other_certificates;
friendlyname depends on private key, so it will be ignored while
checking for idempotency if the pkey is not set;
idempotency check only checks for correct certs in the stack
* use different keys for different certs
* Added other_certificates in module docs
* Added changelog and porting guide
* removed unrelated porting guide entry
* renamed ca_cert* occurrence with other_cert
This reverts commit 85d836171b.
As discussed in WWG IRC meeting, we don't want Get-ADObject to be a dependency of win_domain_membership, and we need to be able to authenticate to the DC in some configs. We can revisit this change a different way for 2.9.

* Replace InventoryFileCacheModule with a better developer-interface
Use new interface for inventory plugins with backwards compatibility
Auto-update the backing cache-plugin if the cache has changed after parsing the inventory plugin
* Update CacheModules to use the config system and add a deprecation warning if they are being imported directly rather than using cache_loader
* Fix foreman inventory caching

* Change the retry_files_enabled to False and modify the comments to reflect that
this has been disabled.
* Change the default action of retry_files_enabled to False
* Update porting guide to reflect change in default state of retry_files_enabled variable
* Change log documenting a change in default behaviour of retry_files_enabled
* Revert config change to comment out the retry_files_enabled line to let the user decided what is best.
Comment above still states how to change.
* Python interpreter discovery
* No longer blindly default to only `/usr/bin/python`
* `ansible_python_interpreter` defaults to `auto_legacy`, which will discover the platform Python interpreter on some platforms (but still favor `/usr/bin/python` if present for backward compatibility). Use `auto` to always use the discovered interpreter, append `_silent` to either value to suppress warnings.
* includes new doc utility method `get_versioned_doclink` to generate a major.minor versioned doclink against docs.ansible.com (or some other config-overridden URL)
* docs revisions for python interpreter discovery
(cherry picked from commit 5b53c0012ab7212304c28fdd24cb33fd8ff755c2)
* verify output on some distros, cleanup
Based on https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html
the default callback paths do not contain `_plugin`. Thus `~/.ansible/plugins/callback_plugins` and `/usr/share/ansible/plugins/plugin_type/action_plugins` are incorrect. Verified on 2.7.5 that by default `plugins/action` works and `plugins/action_plugins` does not.
* Add new module property to Windows modules
* Add brief pause to file tests to ensure the stat times are not equal, which was happening sometimes.
* Raise TypeError on error rather than fail_json()
* Rework error message to be less verbose

[WARNING]: Found both group and host with same name: ungrouped
* Fix and update vault docs, add and clarify examples and options, introduce the concept of labeling a vault for clarity even if only a single password is in use for a given run, rework multi-password section to align to these concepts.
* Document -client scripts for ansible vault.

Additionally adding a clarification for repository creation as the proper repository root is not described yet.
