SNAT Error While Using Ansible to Create a VS in BigIP
can you try following the procedure in this url: http://clouddocs.f5.com/training/community/gsts/html/class1/module2/lab05.html
I noticed that on the reference url, snat is defined higher up the list compare to yours, its in the bottom.
can you try modifying your playbook and somewhat copy what is in the reference url? share any errors when you run the playbook after the change.
when running your playbook, since you are getting an error, can you enable verbose logging and share the output? see this url:
http://clouddocs.f5.com/training/community/gsts/html/class1/module4/module4.html
hopefully, this will give more verbose output on the errors received.
I had interchanged the modules/arguments to the way it is showed in the reference url, but had no luck, i got the same error
bigip_virtual_server:
destination: DEST_IP
password: MY_PASS
name: VS_NAME
pool: POOL_NAME
port: 80
server: xxx.com
snat: Automap

I had the same job run it in verbose mode and this is the output i got
