Usage
f5::default
Not needed at the moment
Include f5 in your node's run_list:
{
"run_list": [
"recipe[f5::default]"
]
}
Or if you are using a wrapper cookbook,
include_recipe "f5::default"
Your node will also need access to the credentials for the load balancer either in the attributes or a data bag:
If you're using a data bag, call it f5 and the default item is called default.
$ knife data bag show f5 default
Unencrypted data bag detected, ignoring any provided secret options.
host: lb1.example.com
id: default
password: TopSecret
username: chef-api
Or, if no data bag is found, attributes are used
default[:f5][:credentials][:default] = {
host: "lb1.example.com",
username: "chef-api",
password: "TopSecret"
}
LWRP
In an application's recipe:
# Creates the pool if missing and adds this node to the pool # (currently using node.ipaddress and node.fqdn for the node) f5_pool 'mypool' do host 'value' port 'value' lb_method 'method' # LB_METHOD_ROUND_ROBIN default end # Creates the VIP if missing f5_vip 'myvip' do address 'vipaddress' port 'vipport' protocol 'protocol' # TCP default pool 'mypool' end
See the documentation for LocalLB::LBMethod and protocol.
