Ansible Deployment of Virtual Server With Profiles

Here is one way to do it with a profiles variable and string concatenation:

---

- name: Create objects on a BIG-IP

 hosts: bigip14-1

 gather_facts: False

 connection: local

 vars:

   provider:

     password: "{{ bigip_password }}"

     server: "{{ ansible_host }}"

     user: "{{ bigip_username }}"

     validate_certs: False

   profiles: "tcp-wan-optimized,http,wan-optimized-compression"

 tasks:

   - name: Create a virtual server

     bigip_virtual_server:

       provider: "{{ provider }}"

       name: "{{ item.name }}"

       destination: "{{ item.destination }}"

       port: "{{ item.port }}"

       snat: "Automap"

       all_profiles: "{{ item.profiles }}"

       pool: "example_pool"

     with_items:

       - { name: "server_port_80",

           port: 80,

           destination: 10.150.1.1,

           profiles: "{{ profiles }}"

         }

       - { name: "server_port_443",

           port: 443,

           destination: 10.150.1.1,

           profiles: "{{ profiles + ',example_client_ssl' }}"

          }

     notify:

       - Save the running configuration to disk

 handlers:

   - name: Save the running configuration to disk

     bigip_config:

       save: yes

       provider: "{{ provider }}"
