Add additional fastl4 profile properties #2356

Open m-kratochvil opened 1 year ago

m-kratochvil commented 1 year ago

Can you please add following configurable items to the bigip_profile_fastl4 module:

modify ltm profile fastl4 <profile_name>
* pva-flow-aging [ disabled | enabled ]
* pva-flow-evict [ disabled | enabled ]
* pva-offload-dynamic [ disabled | enabled ]
* pva-offload-dynamic-priority [ disabled | enabled ]

We use these settings across vast number of virtuals and trying to move off the command module as much as possible. Having these options part of the official module would be great.

Thank you for considering this request!

Hi @m-kratochvil,

Have you tried using AS3 and Ansible declarative collection?

m-kratochvil commented 1 year ago

Hi @pgouband , thanks for the response. Yes, we are using AS3 for our tenant configurations, but the fastl4 profile is a shared one, sitting in Common partition, it is provisioned at the Big-IP buildup via imperative Ansible modules.

Thanks for letting me know. Does it mean, that if there is no other request beside mine, this will never be considered? I'd like to know, so I can decide to wait or look for entirely different solution.

Hi @m-kratochvil,

We will check if there are other customers requesting the same functionality in order to reconsider development. Declarative collection should be your first option when considering Ansible as a BIG-IP configuration automation tool.
