This role will help to create and remove instances on several different providers. It can also be used to demonstrate multi cloud use cases.
WARNING: Support for Red Hat Virtualization currently has no owner and will no longer be maintained and eventually be removed! If you’re interested in keeping it alive, please volunteer as a maintainer.
The Ansible SSA collection containing this role is shipped with the Ansible SSA Execution Environment. For best results, it is recommended to use the Execution Environment to make sure all prerequisites are met.
The role is optimized to be used from the Playbook RHAAP which will be called by a Job Template created by this role.
If you want to use it in your playbook:
- name: deploy instance
var:
type: gcp
instance_name: demo
instance_flavor: n1-standard-1
instance_disk_size: 20
include_role:
name: ansible.ssa.general.instance
or for vmware:
- name: deploy instance
var:
type: vmware
instance_name: demo
instance_group: controller
instance_parameters: "{{ controller_instance_parameters | default ({}) }}"
include_role:
name: ansible.ssa.general.instance
or for vmware (second example):
- name: deploy instance
var:
type: vmware
instance_name: demo
instance_group: controller
instance_parameters.vmware_instance_diskgb: '10'
instance_parameters.vmware_instance_memmb: '8192'
instance_parameters.vmware_instance_cpus: '2
include_role:
name: ansible.ssa.general.instance
To remove or delete a VM or instance, use the same role, but with the “remove” variables set to true.
- name: Remove instance
var:
type: gcp
instance_name: demo
remove: true
include_role:
name: ansible.ssa.general.instance
Instead of using the role directly, consider using the Ansible SSA Collection
