Radware Common and Alteon Modules for Ansible
Project description
Introduction
Ansible Alteon modules and Radware common module_utils. these modules and module infrastructure consume services from the SDK, thus it must be installed prior running them Argument specification is a construct generate during runtime from the relevant SDK Configurator metadata, multi-choice values are directly dynamically accesses from SDK beans, therefor any update in SDK become available to the ansible module right after updating the SDK. this is useful for when a new attribute is introduced or a new value to current attribute
all modules support Check Mode + diff display and Idempotency. furthermore they utilize two usable features from the SDK:
- write on change:
- Executes Alteon write calls only when an actual change has been evaluated.
- differential update:
- Executes appended changes only, ignore attributes equal to existing.
- Useful to prevent errors due to conflicts with existing configuration entries.
- Applicable only when command=update.
both features handles partial match, normalization and prevent unnecessary update
Installation
pip install radware-ansible-common-alteon
Design Principles
- 44 modules: some indexed & others are a summary
- 3 management modules: info, operation, config
- 3 common modules: interfacing with SDK mng & config & common
- The module execute configurator functions from the SDK
- Check mode (dry_run) + diff display is supported on all modules
- Idempotency: Change/ no change report + write on changes only (differential and write_on_change)
- Revert_on_error
- Exception handling: SDK stacktrace copy, warn user about supported version (from SDK)
- Argument specification construct in runtime from SDK configurator: - a construct of SDK metadata: not restricted to Ansible - single point of change - choices (Enum) derive from SDK bean sub-package - directly become available to users after updating the SDK
