The whole process about this developer action were declared inside my BLOG which is better to explain all process, as well as, print screen and explaining each code part.
I explained the role process inside my BLOG and until now are in 5 steps doing test and making validation in different situation. Follow the 4 steps explaining this implementation:
Part 1 - CSV Configuration File
Part 2 - Configuration inside Jinja2
Part 3 - Variable Loop inside Jinja2
Part 4 - Loop using variable validation
There are many resource used in this script, however all modules are inside Ansible documentation using roles, group_vars,jinja2,csv file database and conditionals.
We can follow description to execute those tasks:
- Create CSV File Database adding all information are necessary or information are received from another database.
- Making a dictionary in order to populate all variables.
- Splitting in different roles to segregate process and putting clear code.
- Execute Jinja2 template inserting variables and using conditionals to execute different actions.
- Making some validation based in condition ( if, else, while ) to make sure if loopback ids should be implemented
- Generate template script based in your inventory hostname.
- Apply in your device.
PS.: The explanation in BLOG Channel was executed in Portuguese, however there are facilities inside of channel to make a translation.
