ansible.community: linode_v4 module updates to support nodebalancers?

[John Stoffel]

Hi there,

Is anyone working on extending the ansible.community linode_v4: module to support more than just simple linode creation?  Or do I need to keep using

command:

  cmd:  linode-cli ....

to do all my work?  I tried using the uri: module instead to call the Linode API directly, but that was painful for me as a newbie Ansible user.  

My big stumbling block now is creating a Linode nodebalancer where I need to do:

1. create nodebalancer

2. create nodebalancer config

     with_items:  80, 443

3. add two seperate nodes to each config.

Since this is a double loop, I think I need to do something silly like multiple include_tasks:  loops, which just gets ugly fast.  

How do people do nested layers of devices in Ansible efficiently and clearly without having to use multiple tasks files?  

Thanks,

John
