A collection focusing on managing F5 BIG-IP/BIG-IQ through declarative APIs such as AS3, DO, TS, and CFE. The collection does includes key imperative modules as well for managing some resources and operational tasks outside of declarative workflows. These would include actions such as saving config, backing up config, uploading secutity policies, uploading crts/keys, gathering info, etc.
This collection is not currently published to Galaxy while feedback is collected through issues within this repository. When a 1.0.0 release is ready, the collection will be released into Galaxy and Automation Hub.
Note that this Collection is not currently intended to replace the existing |f5_modules| Collection.
ansible-galaxy collection install git+https://github.com/f5devcentral/f5-ansible-bigip.git#ansible_collections/f5networks/f5_bigip
Note
"-p" is the location in which the collection will be installed. This location should be defined in the path for
ansible to search for collections. An example of this would be adding collections_paths = ./collections
to your ansible.cfg
- You can leverage both this collection (f5_bigip) and the previous imperative collection (f5_modules) at the same time.
- If you are migrating from the imperative collection, you can leave the provider variables and reference them from the new httpapi connection variables:
ansible_host: "{{ provider.server }}"
ansible_user: "{{ provider.user }}"
ansible_httpapi_password: "{{ provider.password }}"
ansible_httpapi_port: "{{ provider.server_port }}"
ansible_network_os: f5networks.f5_bigip.bigip
ansible_httpapi_use_ssl: yes
ansible_httpapi_validate_certs: "{{ provider.validate_certs }}"Please file any bugs, questions, or enhancement requests by using Github Issues. For details, see clouddocs.f5.com.
What types of modules do you want created? If you have a use case and can sufficiently describe the behavior you want to see, open an issue and we will hammer out the details.
If you've got the time, consider sending an email that introduces yourself and what you do. We love hearing about how you're using the F5_BIGIP collection for Ansible.
