This module can be used to manipulate data centers in a BIG-IP.
It supports both the iControl SOAP and iControl REST APIs, but default
to the REST API. With this module, you can perform operations similar
to those available in tmsh to create data centers and set the contact,
location, and description of those data centers.

This module can be used to directly manipulate the system database
variables in a BIG-IP. It supports both the iControl SOAP and iControl
REST APIs, but default to the REST API. With this module, you can
perform operations similar to those available in tmsh to set system
variables such as turning off the default setup screen.

This module can be used to manage VLANs in BIG-IP on various software
versions. It is part of a bootstrapping effort underway to provide
modules necessary to bootstrap core settings in a BIG-IP.

A number of coding conventions have been adopted for new F5 modules
that are in development. To ensure common usage across the modules,
this module needed to be updated to reflect those conventions.
No functional code changes were made.

Additionally, this patch fixes a couple bugs in the module that were
preventing it from being idempotent.

This patch adds support for the server_port module. It
additionally updates the documentation in the module for
it.
The changes were tested in the f5-ansible repository to
ensure no breaking changes were made. This argument allows
modules to be used on BIG-IPs that are listening on
non-standard ports.
Instead of doing an unpack, deliberately specify which parameters you
want to use. This allows us to flexibly add more parameters to the
f5_argument_spec without having to rewrite all the modules that use
it.
Functionally this commit changes nothing, it just provides for a
different way of accessing the parameters to the module
As is done in other ansible modules, this adds the __main__ check
to the module so that the module code itself can be used as a library.
For instance, when testing the code.
The bigip_api method was changed in the module_utils function definition
to include the validate_certs option but the bigip_virtual_server module
was not updated accordingly. This patch updates the method so that the
error message below is not returned to the user
received exception: bigip_api() takes exactly 4 arguments (3 given)
