4. Automating SSL Orchestrator Topology Configuration with Ansible

In the previous module, you manually created and deployed an Inbound Layer 3 Topology with the following:

• SSL configuration

• Inline Layer 3 Services

• Service Chains

• Security Policy

• Interception Rule

• Egress SNAT

• Log Settings

• Application Pool

In this module, you will see how easy it is to deploy the same SSL Orchestrator Topology configuration using an Ansible playbook.
