Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

aws_access_key

string

AWS access key. If not set then the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is used.

If profile is set this parameter is ignored.

Passing the aws_access_key and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01.


aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key

aws_ca_bundle

path

The location of a CA Bundle to use when validating SSL certificates.

Only used for boto3 based modules.

Note: The CA Bundle is read 'module' side and may need to be explicitly copied from the controller if not run locally.

aws_config

dictionary

A dictionary to modify the botocore configuration.

Only the 'user_agent' key is used for boto modules. See http://boto.cloudhackers.com/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html#boto for more boto configuration.

aws_secret_key

string

AWS secret key. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_KEY, or EC2_SECRET_KEY environment variable is used.

If profile is set this parameter is ignored.

Passing the aws_secret_key and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01.


aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key

debug_botocore_endpoint_logs

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Use a botocore.endpoint logger to parse the unique (rather than total) "resource:action" API calls made during a task, outputing the set to the resource_actions key in the task results. Use the aws_resource_action callback to output to total list made during a playbook. The ANSIBLE_DEBUG_BOTOCORE_LOGS environment variable may also be used.

ec2_url

string

Url to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required. Must be specified for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL environment variable, if any, is used.


aliases: aws_endpoint_url, endpoint_url

hash_key_name

string

Name of the hash key.

Required when state=present.

hash_key_type

string

  • STRING

  • NUMBER
  • BINARY

Type of the hash key.

indexes

list / elements=dictionary

Default:

[]

list of dictionaries describing indexes to add to the table. global indexes can be updated. local indexes don't support updates or have throughput.

required options: ['name', 'type', 'hash_key_name']

other options: ['hash_key_type', 'range_key_name', 'range_key_type', 'includes', 'read_capacity', 'write_capacity']

hash_key_name

string / required

The name of the hash-based key.

hash_key_type

string

The type of the hash-based key.

includes

list / elements=string

A list of fields to include when using global_include or include indexes.

name

string / required

The name of the index.

range_key_name

string

The name of the range-based key.

range_key_type

string

The type of the range-based key.

read_capacity

integer

Read throughput capacity (units) to provision for the index.

type

string / required

The type of index.

Valid types: all, global_all, global_include, global_keys_only, include, keys_only

write_capacity

integer

Write throughput capacity (units) to provision for the index.

name

string / required

Name of the table.

profile

string

Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.

Using profile will override aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token and support for passing them at the same time as profile has been deprecated.

aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token will be made mutually exclusive with profile after 2022-06-01.


aliases: aws_profile

range_key_name

string

Notes

Note

  • If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence AWS_URL or EC2_URL, AWS_PROFILE or AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_KEY or EC2_SECRET_KEY, AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN, AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION, AWS_CA_BUNDLE
  • Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
  • AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
