Welcome to a new episode of the Ansible Pilot from Luca Berton. The big news of the last week of February 2023 is the release of three versions of Ansible: Ansible Core 2.14.3, 2.13.8, and Ansible Community 7.3.0. Basically, these are bug-fix releases. Let me quickly remind you that the Ansible Core contains the Ansible framework and the `ansible.builtin` collection. Nothing else. Whereas the Ansible community includes a lot of other collections. For example, interactive with cloud providers (Amazon, Google, Azure), community-generated collection, and Red Hat vendor partners.

Ansible Core vs Ansible Community
- What's the difference?
The size and amount of resources the Ansible Core is the smallest package. At the same time, the Ansible Community package is more extensive and has many more resources in the footprint. Why did the engineering team release two packages? Well, because sometimes you have a different use case. You want a smaller package for a specific workload. And you would like the Ansible community for her. When developing or needing a complete overview of the answerable project, you can also increase velocity because each piece of the Ansible Core and the collections can be released asynchronously. So, at a different time than Ansible.
