+**PROFILES**: every setting we apply to a vip is some kind of profile.\\
+To deploy changes (profiles in this case), we can follow this process:\\
+  -
+  - Use UI in CP02DEVLB01 to create profile.
+  - Log into tmos and pull the command defining that profile. We will use this to automate it in Ansible:
+  - we can use data ports for sync/heartbeat
+  (tmos)# list ltm profile client-ssl bondticker_wildcard one-line
+  ltm profile client-ssl bondticker_wildcard { app-service none cert default.crt cert-key-chain { default { cert default.crt key default.key } } chain none defaults-from mktx_tls_1.2 inherit-certkeychain true key default.key passphrase none }

+**__ANSIBLE__**
+General scheme of folders is as follows:
+  * inventory --- where host information host specific variable
+  * input --- input information where all application specific variables are stored
+  * playbooks --- what you actually put together
+  * templates --- jinja2 file
+  * roles -- function that groups together tasks into one module ...
+BONDTICKER
+adding a pool ,  adding a server to a pool
+template_f5_bondticker_pools.yml  # this is the playbook. PLAYBOOK geneartes the results in the input file and
+pool-vars-template.j2   # for any vip. generates the bindings
+inputs/pools_template_bondticker.yml
+The results are created in input folder (as defined in the playbook. see dest: "../inputs/pools_bondticker_{{item.key}}.yml" )
+Validate this input filr manually. Some of the entries will have to be commented out. In this case (F5). This file is FED IN TO THE API
+input filer: lists (3) with dictionaries.
+then role takes the data from the input file and applied the API. Check the role to see how the api is called.

+playbook naming convention
+anything with L7 deals with the policy. assign is assigning to the vip.
+f5_pool : to create node, build pool and make binding
+f5_vip : to create a virtual server
