ops_template.py: content argument to take the yaml/json variable

[keithnoguchi]

ISSUE TYPE

• Feature Idea

COMPONENT NAME

network/openswitch/ops_template.py

ANSIBLE VERSION

ansible 2.1.0
  config file = /Users/kei/vagrant/ansible/dc-on-docker/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = Default w/o overrides

CONFIGURATION

Here is the sample way of passing YAML variable to ops_template module through content:

- name: configure through json
  hosts: switch
  become: yes
  vars:
    config:
      system:
        hostname: test
  tasks:
    - ops_template:
      content: "{{ config }}"

OS / ENVIRONMENT

N/A

SUMMARY

Since the src variable of ops_template is for the file name, we want to have another variable
to pass the actual content, hence, content variable. :)

For Ansible 2.2 this functionality will be made available in the ops_config module.

Closing as code has been done
