f5-cookbook
A set of resources for managing F5 load balancers. Currently a WIP, but it will create VIPs and pools, and add nodes to pools
Requirements
Platforms
- RHEL/Fedora and derivatives
- Debian/Ubuntu and derivatives
Chef
- Chef 12.7+
Cookbooks
- none
Attributes
-
node['f5']['gem_version']- Sets the version of the gem that will be installed via the resource
Usage
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"
}
Resources
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.
