Ansible Project for Radware Automation - Playbook examples

This project contains Ansible playbooks designed to automate and manage various configurations and use cases with Radware devices. Each folder within this project represents a unique setup or configuration managed via Radware's Ansible modules, aimed at different networking scenarios such as GSLB, HA, and SSL.

Project Structure

The project is structured into several folders, each containing a different playbook setup for specific automation tasks. Here is an overview of each root folder and its purpose:

├── gslb-example/
│   ├── cyber-controller-engine/
│   └── external-ansible-engine/
├── ha-example/
│   ├── cyber-controller-engine/
│   └── external-ansible-engine/
└── ssl-example/
    ├── cyber-controller-engine/
    └── external-ansible-engine/

Folder Descriptions

• gslb-example: Contains playbooks and parameters for configuring a Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) setup. It automates the configuration of load balancing and failover across multiple data centers.

  • gslb-example README
  • cyber-controller-engine: Includes the core Ansible playbook (gslb-demo-cc-ae.yaml) and associated parameter file (gslb_demo_params.json) for running the GSLB demo directly on the Cyber Controller.
  • external-ansible-engine: Provides a standalone playbook (gslb-demo.yaml) and variable definitions (vars/alteon_params.yml) for executing the GSLB configuration using an external Ansible engine.

• ha-example: Contains playbooks and parameters for setting up High Availability (HA) configurations. This setup ensures reliable service delivery through redundant paths and failover mechanisms.

  • ha-example README
  • cyber-controller-engine: Contains the primary HA Ansible playbook (ha-demo-ae.yaml) and its parameter file (ha_demo_params.json) for running the HA demo via the Cyber Controller.
  • external-ansible-engine: Includes the HA playbook (ha-demo.yaml) and variable configurations (vars/alteon_params.yml) for deploying HA configurations using an external Ansible engine.

• ssl-example: Focuses on automating SSL/TLS configurations, such as certificate management and secure traffic handling.

  • ssl-example README
  • cyber-controller-engine: Contains the SSL configuration playbook (ssl-demo-ae.yaml) and parameter file (ssl_demo_params.json) for Cyber Controller-based SSL automation.
  • external-ansible-engine: Includes the SSL configuration playbook (ssl-demo.yaml) and variable file (vars/alteon_params.yml) for an external Ansible engine deployment.

Getting Started

Each root folder (gslb-example, ha-example, ssl-example) corresponds to a specific configuration. Before running any playbooks, ensure you have the necessary permissions, access to Radware devices, and proper configurations defined in each vars file.

Prerequisites:

• Ansible installed on your system
• Access to Radware Cyber Controller or external environment as required
• Radware modules installed for Ansible
