CloudVision Portal Configlet configuration requires a dictionary of containers with their parent, to create and delete containers on CVP side. Returns number of created and/or deleted containers

Module-specific Options

The following options may be specified for this module:

parameter	type	required	default	choices	comments
topology	dict	True			Yaml dictionary to describe intended containers.
cvp_facts	dict	True			Facts from CVP collected by cv_facts module.
mode	str	False	merge	merge override delete	Allow to save topology or not.
configlet_filter	list	False	[‘none’]		Filter to apply intended set of configlet on containers. If not used, then module only uses ADD mode. configlet_filter list configlets that can be modified or deleted based on configlets entries.
options	dict	False			Implements the ability to create a sub-argument_spec, where the sub options of the top level argument are also validated using the attributes discussed in this section.
