These would include actions such as saving config, backing up config, \nuploading security policies, uploading crts/keys, gathering info, etc.\n\n**Note:** This Collection is not currently intended to replace the existing [imperative_collection].\n\n## Requirements\n\n - ansible \u003e= 2.16\n\n## Python Version\nCollection supported on Python 3.9 and above.\n\n## Collections Daily Build\n\nWe offer a daily build of our most recent collection [dailybuild]. Use this Collection to test the most\nrecent Ansible module updates between releases. You can also install development build directly from GitHub see [repoinstall].\n\n### Install from GitHub\n```bash\n\nansible-galaxy collection install git+https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-ansible-bigip.git#ansible_collections/f5networks/f5_bigip\n```\n\n### Install from the daily build file\n```bash\n\n    ansible-galaxy collection install \u003ccollection name\u003e -p ./collections\n    e.g.\n    ansible-galaxy collection install f5networks-f5_bigip-devel.tar.gz -p ./collections\n```\n\n\u003e **_NOTE:_**  `-p` is the location in which the collection will be installed. This location should be defined in the path for\n    Ansible to search for collections. An example of this would be adding ``collections_paths = ./collections``\n    to your **ansible.cfg**\n\n### Running latest devel in EE\nWe also offer a new method of running the collection inside Ansible's Execution Environment container. \nThe advantage of this approach is that any required package dependencies and minimum supported Python versions are \ninstalled in an isolated container, which minimizes any environment-related issues during runtime. More information on EE\ncan be found here [execenv]. Use the following requirements.yml file when building EE container:\n\n```yaml\n---\ncollections:\n  - name: ansible.netcommon\n    version: \"\u003e=2.0.0\"\n  - name: f5networks.f5_bigip\n    source: https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-ansible-bigip#ansible_collections/f5networks/f5_bigip\n    type: git\n    version: devel\n```\n\n## Tips\n\n* You can leverage both this declarative collection and the previous imperative collection at the same time.\n* If you are migrating from the imperative collection, you can leave the provider variables and reference them from \n  the new httpapi connection variables:\n\n```yaml\n   ansible_host: \"{{ provider.server }}\"\n   ansible_user: \"{{ provider.user }}\"\n   ansible_httpapi_password: \"{{ provider.password }}\"\n   ansible_httpapi_port: \"{{ provider.server_port }}\"\n   ansible_network_os: f5networks.f5_bigip.bigip\n   ansible_httpapi_use_ssl: yes\n   ansible_httpapi_validate_certs: \"{{ provider.validate_certs }}\"\n```\n\n## Bugs, Issues\n   \nPlease file any bugs, questions, or enhancement requests by using [ansible_issues]. For details, see [ansiblehelp].\n\n## Your ideas\n\nWhat types of modules do you want created? If you have a use case and can sufficiently describe the behavior \nyou want to see, open an issue and we will hammer out the details.\n\nIf you've got the time, consider sending an email that introduces yourself and what you do. \nWe love hearing about how you're using the F5_BIGIP collection for Ansible.\n\n\u003e **_NOTE:_** **This repository is a mirror, only issues submissions are accepted.**\n\n- Ansible collections development team at F5 - solutionsfeedback@f5.com\n\n## Copyright\n\nCopyright 2022 F5 Networks Inc.\n\n\n## License\n\n### GPL V3\n\nThis License does not grant permission to use the trade names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the \nLicensor, except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the Work.\n\nSee [License].\n\n### Contributor License Agreement\nIndividuals or business entities who contribute to this project must complete and submit the \n[F5 Contributor License Agreement] to ***Ansible_CLA@f5.com*** prior to their code submission \nbeing included in this project.\n\n\n[repoinstall]: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections_guide/collections_installing.html#installing-a-collection-from-a-git-repository\n[imperative_collection]: https://galaxy.ansible.com/f5networks/f5_modules\n[dailybuild]: https://f5-ansible.s3.amazonaws.com/collections/f5networks-f5_bigip-devel.tar.gz\n[License]: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt\n[execenv]: https://docs.ansible.com/automation-controller/latest/html/userguide/execution_environments.html\n[f5execenv]: https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/orchestration/ansible/devel/usage/exec-env.html\n[F5 Contributor License Agreement]: https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/orchestration/ansible/devel/usage/contributor.html","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ff5networks%2Ff5-ansible-bigip","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ff5networks%2Ff5-ansible-bigip","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ff5networks%2Ff5-ansible-bigip/lists"}
