**JINYA**\\
  * Nice examples: https://github.com/dgjnpr/ansible-template-for-junos
  * It uses a template file (jinja) and a //templating code// (in python) but it might be easier to use Ansible instead of the python code (see [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinja_(template_engine)|External Link]]).\\
  * All the links plus a tutorial can be found [[http://vulgarpython.com/jinja2-templates-for-network-automation/|here]]
  * Loop with variable and multiple template and targets : [[http://www.mydailytutorials.com/ansible-template-module-examples/|Link]]

Note that, in Ansible, ROLES are the ones that generate the configurations, **Roles are made up of a task and one or more template file**.

INCLUDING CONTENT OF FILES IN THE RENDERED TEMPLATE:
  system{
    {% include "login.j2" %}
    {% include "services.j2" %}

INCLUDING BLOCKS:\\
Note that this is the parent configuration, having the section inside the block 'elegible' to be overriden.
  services {
    ssh;
     {% block dhcp %}
