Ansible Playbook for Automating Controller Upgrades

Summary

This playbook and collection of roles allow an administrator to specify either a controller base image or patch to upgrade. It will determine whether the image requires an upload to the controller, and will upload if necessary. From there, it will determine if the image is a patch or system image, then perform the appropriate operation.

Please define variables in the vars.yml file before use. The ansible.cfg currently uses ./hosts.yml for the inventory. Either edit this file with your controller information, or use your own inventory file. Multiple clusters are supported so long as they are performing the same upgrade and are on the same API version.

Getting Started

git clone [email protected]:joeycoakleyavi/controller-upgrade.git
cd controller-upgrade
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
ansible-galaxy install avinetworks.avisdk

Edit hosts.yml to include which controllers should be upgraded. The playbook currently points to **ALL** hosts in this file. Scope this down if required.

Note: Only include the leader node of a given cluster in hosts.yml. Avi Controllers will handle distributing the image and performing upgrades to all member controllers of the cluster.

For Non-GSLB Avi Clusters:

For GSLB-Enabled Clusters:
