I Expect Firewall Policy Creation to Be Idempotent

[matt-wittmann]

When I use the clc_firewall_policy module with state: present, I expect my Ansible task not to create a new firewall policy if the same policy already exists. The issue is, every time the Ansible playbook is run, a new firewall policy with the exact same settings (source, destination, and ports) is created. I can either check whether the policy already exists myself and skip the task (although I don't see anything in the clc-ansible-module documentation to support this either) or let it create duplicate policies and clean them up manually later.

- name: Configure Firewall Policy
  environment:
    CLC_V2_API_USERNAME: "{{ clc_username }}"
    CLC_V2_API_PASSWD: "{{ clc_password }}"
  clc_firewall_policy:
    source_account_alias: TEST
    location: "{{ data_center }}"
    state: present
    source: ["{{ source_ip_address }}/32"]
    destination: ["{{ destination_ip_address }}/32"]
    ports: ["{{ port_to_open }}"]
    destination_account_alias: TEST
  delegate_to: localhost
  sudo: no
