Config Management Camp 2024 Ghent

Writing Ansible modules is a tedious job.
Especially if all you do is to copy over the models from your app.
Especially if you want to have a module for each model, and you have hundreds of them.

Assuming the API has an API definition with OpenAPI/Swagger or Apipie, we can use the data provided by those tools to generate Ansible modules without much effort.

We'll be looking at tools like ansible.content_builder and apinsible for generating the modules, but also at general best practices how to organize a collection of modules to ensure new modules are easy to add and maintain.
