Fortios Ansible plugins

 

FTNT has a list of quite a few plugins that can be configured via ansible. A lot of the low level configuration can be done with in a CM tool like ansible. FortiManager is also a good alternative that's documented and supported by FTNT.

The key things to look at, you need to be running the latest python version natively or in a python virtenv. In any RHEL  distro you can't really delete python2 per-se since  "yum" is py2 only.

If you haveboth  py2/3 you have to ensure ansible is set for version 3 if you want the best results.

extra things to considers

• ANSIBLE_DEBUG=1 for any issues and use -vvv for extra verbosity. 
• You are only limited by your imagination and what the limits of the plugins. 
• You should study the FTNT developer network documents
