Zscaler Private Access - Ansible Playbooks

Example Ansible playbooks using the Zscaler Private Access Ansible Collection, and what you'll need to get started writing your own. I'll try to add interesting things to this repository over time based on customer questions, so check back from time to time.

Getting Started

Installing Ansible

First, you'll need to install Ansible on the machine that will execute your playbooks (called the control node). The control node can be as simple as a laptop, and can be running any Unix-like OS (Linux, BSD, macOS).

You'll want to generally follow the Ansible documentation for installing Ansible on your machine, but here are quick instructions for popular choices:

CentOS

Install from EPEL:

sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install ansible

Ubuntu

Install from the Ansible PPA:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo apt-add-repository --yes --update ppa:ansible/ansible
sudo apt install ansible

macOS 10.15

Install from Pip (Python package manager):

pip3 install --user ansible
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Library/Python/3.7/bin

You'll want to permanently modify the PATH in your shell's config file as well.

Clone this repository, install ZPA Collection

Once you're done with installing Ansible, clone this repo, and install the ZPA collection from Ansible Galaxy as well as the Python modules it depends on:

git clone https://github.com/willguibr/zpacloud-playbooks.git
cd ansible-playbooks/
ansible-galaxy collection install -r collections/requirements.yml
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt

Customize connection parameters

The supplied inventory sets variables for each host in the host_vars directory. Authentication credentials are not included, and should be specified either on the CLI, or in a seperate file like so:

ansible-playbook -i inventory check_ready.yml -e @creds.yml

You're now ready to start using these playbooks.

Sample Playbooks

You can use these playbooks as a base by cloning this repository. Each of them is documented with how to run them via ansible-playbook and their customization options.
