Dig deeper into Ansible and F5 integration

Hi Satish,

You can define in the inventory file which BIG-IP hosts you want to run your playbook against.

Example: Inventory file

    [bigips]
    10.1.1.2
    10.1.1.3
    10.1.1.4

Playbook

- name: Onboarding BIG-IP
  hosts: bigip This will run the playbook against all hosts undet tag [bigips] in the inventory file
  gather_facts: false

  vars_files:
    - irule_var.yml

  tasks:
  - name: Add iRule
    bigip_irule:
         server: "{{inventory_hostname}}"
         user: "admin"
         password: "****"
         module: "ltm"
         name: "{{item}}"
         content: "{{ lookup('file', '{{item}}') }}"
         state: present
         validate_certs: false
     with_items: "{{irules}}"

Irule variable file (irule_var.yml)

irules:
- name_irule1
- name_irule2
- name_irule3
