A collection focusing on managing BIG-IP Next devices through BIG-IP Next Central Manager (CM) API. The collection includes key imperative modules for deploying BIG-IP Next instances as well as modules to manage CM devices.
This collection is supported on Python 3.9 and above.
We offer a daily build of our most recent collection dailybuild. Use this Collection to test the most recent Ansible module updates between releases. You can also install the development build directly from GitHub into your environment, see repoinstall.
ansible-galaxy collection install git+https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-ansible-next#ansible_collections/f5networks/next
ansible-galaxy collection install <collection name> -p ./collections
e.g.
ansible-galaxy collection install f5networks-f5next-devel.tar.gz -p ./collections
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 addingcollections_paths = ./collections
to your ansible.cfg
We also offer a new method of running the collection inside Ansible's Execution Environment container. The advantage of such approach is that any required package dependencies and minimum supported Python versions are installed in an isolated container which minimizes any environment related issues during runtime. More information on EE can be found here execenv. Use the below requirements.yml file when building EE container:
---
collections:
- name: ansible.netcommon
version: ">=2.0.0"
- name: f5networks.next
source: https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-ansible-next#ansible_collections/f5networks/next
type: git
version: devel
Please see f5execenv documentation for further instructions how to use and build EE container with our devel branch.
Please file any bugs, questions, or enhancement requests by using ansible_issues. For details, see ansiblehelp.
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 BIG-IP Next collection for Ansible.
