Ansible Role infra.aap_configuration.services

Description

An Ansible Role to configure gateway API routes (called Service) on Ansible Automation gateway. They define http port and path (starting with prefix /api/) used in gateway and http port and path in the destination service (gateway, controller, hub, eda).

Variables

Variable Name Default Value Required Description Example
platform_state “present” no The state all objects will take unless overridden by object default ‘absent’
aap_hostname ”” yes URL to the Ansible Automation Platform Server. 127.0.0.1
aap_validate_certs true no Whether or not to validate the Ansible Automation Platform Server’s SSL certificate.  
aap_username ”” no Admin User on the Ansible Automation Platform Server. Either username / password or oauthtoken need to be specified.  
aap_password ”” no Platform Admin User’s password on the Server. This should be stored in an Ansible Vault at vars/platform-secrets.yml or elsewhere and called from a parent playbook.  
aap_token ”” no Controller Admin User’s token on the Ansible Automation Platform Server. This should be stored in an Ansible Vault at or elsewhere and called from a parent playbook. Either username / password or oauthtoken need to be specified.  
aap_request_timeout 10 no Specify the timeout in seconds Ansible should use in requests to the Ansible Automation Platform host.  
gateway_services see below yes Data structure describing your gateway_services Described below.  

Secure Logging Variables

The following Variables compliment each other. If Both variables are not set, secure logging defaults to false. The role defaults to false as normally the add ee_registry task does not include sensitive information. gateway_services_secure_logging defaults to the value of aap_configuration_secure_logging if it is not explicitly called. This allows for secure logging to be toggled for the entire suite of automation hub configuration roles with a single variable, or for the user to selectively use it.

Variable Name Default Value Required Description
gateway_services_secure_logging false no Whether or not to include the sensitive Registry role tasks in the log. Set this value to true if you will be providing your sensitive values from elsewhere.
aap_configuration_secure_logging false no This variable enables secure logging as well, but is shared across multiple roles, see above.

Asynchronous Retry Variables

The following Variables set asynchronous retries for the role. If neither of the retries or delay or retries are set, they will default to their respective defaults. This allows for all items to be created, then checked that the task finishes successfully. This also speeds up the overall role.

Variable Name Default Value Required Description
aap_configuration_async_retries 50 no This variable sets the number of retries to attempt for the role globally.
gateway_services_async_retries aap_configuration_async_retries no This variable sets the number of retries to attempt for the role.
aap_configuration_async_delay 1 no This sets the delay between retries for the role globally.
gateway_services_async_delay aap_configuration_async_delay no This sets the delay between retries for the role.
aap_configuration_loop_delay 1000 no This variable sets the loop_delay for the role globally.
gateway_services_loop_delay aap_configuration_loop_delay no This variable sets the loop_delay for the role.
aap_configuration_async_dir null no Sets the directory to write the results file for async tasks. The default value is set to null which uses the Ansible Default of /root/.ansible_async/.

Data Structure

Service Arguments

Options for the gateway_services variable:

Variable Name Default Value Required Type Description
name N/A yes str The name of the api
new_name N/A no str Setting this option will change the existing name (looked up via the name field)
description ”” no str Description of the service
api_slug ”” no str URL slug for the gateway API path for the Controller, Hub and EDA services (gateway API route requires value “gateway”, but the slug is not used)
http_port N/A no str ID or name referencing the Http Port
service_cluster N/A no str ID or name referencing the Service Cluster
is_service_https false no bool Flag whether or not the service cluster uses https
enable_gateway_auth N/A (true by API) no bool If false, the AAP gateway will not insert a gateway token into the proxied request
service_path ”” no str URL path on the AAP Service cluster to route traffic to
service_port N/A no int Port on the service cluster to route traffic to
order ”” (50 by API) no int The order to apply the routes in lower numbers are first. Items with the same value have no guaranteed order
tags ”” no str Comma-separated string, selects which (tagged) nodes receive traffic from this route
state present no str README.md#state-variable)

Unique value:

  • name
  • http_port + service_cluster

Note: field gateway_path is inferred from the api_slug, always starts with /api/ and is read only.

Usage

Json Example

  • Check that Controller API Route exists
  • Create or update gateway API Route on proxy port (http port) with id 1 and path ‘/’ proxying gateway on path ‘ /api/v1/’ and port 9000
  • Create or update EDA API Route on proxy port (http port) 8000 and path ‘/api/eda/’ proxying Event Driven Automation on path ‘/api/v2/’ and port 9000. Lookup for existing name “EDA API”, but create/update with different name
