Hi there,  
Is anyone working on extending the ansible.community linode\_v4: module to support more than just simple linode creation? Or do I need to keep using

command:  
cmd: linode-cli …

to do all my work? I tried using the uri: module instead to call the Linode API directly, but that was painful for me as a newbie Ansible user.

My big stumbling block now is creating a Linode nodebalancer where I need to do:

1. create nodebalancer
2. create nodebalancer config  
with\_items: 80, 443
3. add two seperate nodes to each config.

Since this is a double loop, I think I need to do something silly like multiple include\_tasks: loops, which just gets ugly fast.

How do people do nested layers of devices in Ansible efficiently and clearly without having to use multiple tasks files?

Thanks,  
John
