&nbsp; vars:  
&nbsp; &nbsp; provider:  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; password: “{{ ansible\_password }}”  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; server: “{{ ansible\_host }}”  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; user: “{{ ansible\_user }}”  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; validate\_certs: False

pools:  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; - [“POOL\_1”, “INTERNET”, “MEM\_1”]  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; - [“POOL\_2”, “INTERNET”, “MEM\_2”]  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; - [“POOL\_3”, “WAN”, “MEM\_3”]

tasks:

- name: Create pools  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; bigip\_pool:

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; provider: “{{ provider }}”  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; #delegate\_to: localhost  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; loop:  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “{{ pools }}”
