Example Ansible playbooks using the Zscaler Private Access Ansible Collection, and what you'll need to get started writing your own. We try to add interesting things to this repository over time based on customer questions, so check back from time to time.
This collection is tested with the most current Ansible releases. Ansible versions before 2.15 are not supported.
The minimum python version for this collection is python 3.9
.
First, you'll need to install Ansible on the machine that will execute your playbooks (called the control node). The control node can be as simple as a laptop, and can be running any Unix-like OS (Linux, BSD, macOS).
You'll want to generally follow the Ansible documentation for installing Ansible on your machine, but here are quick instructions for popular choices:
Install from Pip (Python package manager):
pip3 install --user ansible
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Library/Python/3.9/bin
Install from EPEL:
sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install ansible
Install from the Ansible PPA:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo apt-add-repository --yes --update ppa:ansible/ansible
sudo apt install ansible
You'll want to permanently modify the PATH in your shell's config file as well.
Install this collection using the Ansible Galaxy CLI:
ansible-galaxy collection install zscaler.zpacloud
You can also include it in a requirements.yml
file and install it via ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml
, using the format:
collections:
- zscaler.zpacloud
Once you're done with installing Ansible, clone this repo, and install the ZPA collection from Ansible Galaxy as well as the Python modules it depends on:
git clone https://github.com/zscaler/zpacloud-playbooks.git
cd ansible-playbooks/
ansible-galaxy collection install -r collections/requirements.yml
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
You can use these playbooks as a base by cloning this repository. Each of them is documented with how to run them via
ansible-playbook
and their customization options.
