Policy: Freeform (to be worked first)

[mikewiebe]

Recursive processing and discovery of freeform directory under host_vars/[fabric_name]

[mikewiebe]

Need the following work to complete this role

This task needs to make use of the dcnm_policy module to create the policy on NDFC

• Update role: validate to discover freeform files under host_vars/[fabric_name]/freeform directory
• Update role: common to build jinja2 templates that build dcnm_policy module payload
• Update role: create create the policy using the description as the unique key for the policy
  • Determine the correct priority for the policy
  • Need to prefix the description with tag so we know it's managed by this collection
• Update and/or verify role: deploy pushes the config to the device
• Update role: remove to remove the policy from NDFC/Device when it gets removed from the data model

Update role: remove to remove the policy from NDFC/Device when it gets removed from the data model

Query what NDFC has as state vs what we have in data model. Delete those in diff.
Matt will continue to implement and we will test.
