⛔️ DEPRECATED: This repo is no longer supported, please consider using https://github.com/vmware/ansible-collection-alb instead since this role is migrated to ansible collections.

Using this module you are able to install the Avi Vantage Controlller, to your system. However, minimum requirements must be met.

Warning:
This Ansible role is not meant to be ran repeatedly on the host. It's meant for deployment only. Once deployed the configuration for Avi is managed by Avi.

Requirements
