The F5 role provides the foundation for working with F5 BIG-IP devices and Ansible. The F5 role for Ansible provides the ability to manage configuration resources in BIG-IP. The architecture of the roles makes inherent use of the BIG-IP SOAP and REST APIs as well as the tmsh API where required.
The Ansible F5 role is freely provided to the open source community for automating BIG-IP device configurations using Ansible. Support for the modules is provided on a best effort basis by the F5 community. Please file any bugs, questions or enhancement requests using Github Issues
