Some of us choose to build Fedora servers (instead of using Centos, for
vary reasons) with many virtuals, each with different IP.
Everytime I have to follow these guidelines

So the question:
Is there a tool to simply setup a bridge interface?
You can do it in the NetworkManager interface ... but I'm not really sure what exactly you are asking.Can you not just script nmcli and call that script to automatically do it for you each time?There's an nmcli ansible module you might be able to construct a playbook with?Can you be a little more specific with your requirements? If so I'm sure a more specific and detailed answer can be supplied.
Oh and just a small follow-up from that old article ... the present version of NetworkManager in EL7 and Fedora do no use special *-slave types and instead the raw device is just associated with the master... whatever that is.
See this article for more details:
If you have an existing connection of "System em1" for instance the quickest way to turn that into a bridge with a device name of br0 is now:
nmcli connection add type bridge ifname br0 con-name "System bridge"
nmcli connection add type ethernet ifname em1 con-name "System em1" master br0 connection.autoconnect yes
That's off the top of my head, and a quick check of my blog, but should be accurate enough to get you going.
