This role can be used to manage DNS records by using the nsupdate command. It expects the DNS Server to be setup by the playbook-dyndns-server.
The Ansible SSA collection containing this role is shipped with the Ansible SSA Execution Environment. For best results, it is recommended to use the Execution Environment to make sure all prerequisites are met.
The role is optimized to be used from the Playbook RHAAP which will be called by a Job Template created by this role.
