ManageIQ Ansible Modules

ManageIQ Ansible Modules

There are several ManageIQ-related modules and roles that can be used with Ansible 2.4 that is supplied with CloudForms 4.6.

Ansible 2.4 Compatible Modules

The following modules are supplied with Ansible 2.4 and later:

manageiq_provider

The manageiq_provider module supports adding, updating, and deleting providers in CloudForms/ManageIQ.

manageiq_user

The manageiq_user module supports adding, updating and deleting users in CloudForms/ManageIQ.

Ansible 2.4 Compatible Roles

The following Galaxy roles are compatible with Ansible 2.4 and later:

manageiq-vmdb

The manageiq-vmdb role allows for users of CloudForms/ManageIQ to modify and/or change VMDB objects via an Ansible Playbook.

manageiq-automate

The manageiq-automate role allows for users of CloudForms/ManageIQ Automate to modify and add to the Automate Workspace via an Ansible Playbook.

These roles are very useful when using Embedded Ansible playbook methods.
