New in version 2.6.
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|
add_analytics bool |
| Collects statistics of the BIG-IP that the application is deployed to. This parameter is only relevant when specifying a service_environment which is a BIG-IP; not an SSG. | |
description | Description of the application. | ||
inbound_virtual | Settings to configure the virtual which will receive the inbound connection. This virtual will be used to host the HTTP endpoint of the application. | ||
netmask required | Specifies the netmask to associate with the given destination .This parameter is required when creating a new application. | ||
port | Default: 80 | The port that the virtual listens for connections on. When creating a new application, if this parameter is not specified, the default value of 80 will be used. | |
address required | Specifies destination IP address information to which the virtual server sends traffic. This parameter is required when creating a new application. | ||
name required | Name of the new application. | ||
password required | The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_PASSWORD .aliases: pass, pwd | ||
provider (added in 2.5) | Default: None | A dict object containing connection details. | |
ssh_keyfile | Specifies the SSH keyfile to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for cli transports. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE . | ||
timeout | Default: 10 | Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error. | |
server required | The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER . | ||
user required | The username to connect to the BIG-IP with. This user must have administrative privileges on the device. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_USER . | ||
server_port | Default: 443 | The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT . | |
password required | The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_PASSWORD .aliases: pass, pwd | ||
validate_certs bool |
| If no , SSL certificates are not validated. Use this only on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_VALIDATE_CERTS . | |
transport required |
| Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. | |
server required | The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER . | ||
server_port (added in 2.2) | Default: 443 | The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT . | |
servers | A list of servers that the application is hosted on. If you are familiar with other BIG-IP setting, you might also refer to this list as the list of pool members. When creating a new application, at least one server is required. | ||
port | Default: 80 | The port of the server. When creating a new application and specifying a server, if this parameter is not provided, the default of 80 will be used. | |
address required | The IP address of the server. | ||
service_environment | Specifies the name of service environment that the application will be deployed to. When creating a new application, this parameter is required. The service environment type will be discovered by this module automatically. Therefore, it is crucial that you maintain unique names for items in the different service environment types (at this time, SSGs and BIGIPs). | ||
state |
| The state of the resource on the system. When present , guarantees that the resource exists with the provided attributes.When absent , removes the resource from the system. | |
user required | The username to connect to the BIG-IP with. This user must have administrative privileges on the device. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_USER . | ||
validate_certs bool (added in 2.0) |
| If no , SSL certificates are not validated. Use this only on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_VALIDATE_CERTS . | |
wait bool |
| If the module should wait for the application to be created, deleted or updated. |
