# F5 BIG-IP Imperative Collection for Ansible

## Description

This collection provides imperative Ansible modules and plugins for managing F5 BIG-IP and BIG-IQ devices. It enables automation of configuration, deployment, and management tasks for F5 devices, making it easier for network and automation engineers to integrate F5 solutions into their infrastructure-as-code workflows. The collection is designed for users who need to automate F5 device management, streamline operations, and ensure consistency across environments.

## Requirements

- Ansible >= 2.16
- Python >= 3.9
- packaging (Python library)

## Installation

Before using this collection, install it with the Ansible Galaxy command-line tool:

```
ansible-galaxy collection install f5networks.f5_modules
```

To specify the installation location, use the `-p` option. For example:

```
ansible-galaxy collection install f5networks.f5_modules -p ./collections
```

If you specify a folder, make sure to update your `ansible.cfg` so Ansible will check this folder as well. For example, add:

```
collections_paths = ./collections
```
to your `ansible.cfg`.

You can also include it in a `requirements.yml` file and install with:

```yaml
collections:
  - name: f5networks.f5_modules
```

```
ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml
```

To upgrade to the latest version:

```
ansible-galaxy collection install f5networks.f5_modules --upgrade
```

To install a specific version (e.g., 1.0.0):

```
ansible-galaxy collection install f5networks.f5_modules:==1.0.0
```

See [using Ansible collections](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/user_guide/collections_using.html) for more details.

## Example Usage

To use a module from this collection, reference the full namespace, collection, and module name:

```yaml
---
- name: Using F5 BIG-IP Collection
  hosts: f5
  connection: local
  tasks:
    - f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_pool:
        name: my-pool
        ...
```

## Running the Collection in an Execution Environment (EE)

You can run this collection inside an Ansible Execution Environment (EE) container. This approach ensures all required package dependencies and minimum supported Python versions are installed in an isolated container, minimizing environment-related issues during runtime.

To use the collection in an EE, add it to your `requirements.yml` file. For example:

```yaml
---
collections:
  - name: ansible.netcommon
    version: ">=2.0.0"
  - name: f5networks.f5_modules
```

When building your EE container, include this requirements file. For more information on building and using EEs, see the [execenv]

<!-- Ansible Execution Environments documentation](https://docs.ansible.com/automation-controller/latest/html/userguide/execution_environments.html).

> **Tip:** If you use a custom collection path (with `-p`), ensure your EE definition includes the correct path in the `ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATHS` environment variable or in your `ansible.cfg`. -->

For F5-specific EE usage and advanced scenarios, refer to the [F5 execenv documentation](https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/orchestration/ansible/devel/usage/exec-env.html).

## Testing

This collection has been tested on:
- F5 BIG-IP and BIG-IQ virtual editions
- Supported Ansible versions (>=2.16)
- Python 3.9+

Testing includes unit, integration, and system tests. Some modules may require access to a live F5 device or a suitable test environment. Known exceptions and workarounds are documented in the module documentation.

## Support
