Synopsis

Add or Remove load balancer from the OpenStack load-balancer service(Octavia). Load balancer update is not supported for now.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

openstacksdk
openstacksdk >= 0.12.0
python >= 3.6

Parameters

Parameter				Choices/Defaults	Comments
api_timeout integer					How long should the socket layer wait before timing out for API calls. If this is omitted, nothing will be passed to the requests library.
auth dictionary					Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud's auth plugin strategy. For the default password plugin, this would contain auth_url, username, password, project_name and any information about domains (for example, user_domain_name or project_domain_name) if the cloud supports them. For other plugins, this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided or OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.
auth_type string					Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here and the contents of the auth parameter should be updated accordingly.
auto_public_ip boolean				no ← yes	Allocate a public IP address and associate with the VIP automatically.
availability_zone string					Ignored. Present for backwards compatibility
ca_cert string					A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests. aliases: cacert
client_cert string					A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction. aliases: cert
client_key string					A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction. aliases: key
cloud raw					Named cloud or cloud config to operate against. If cloud is a string, it references a named cloud config as defined in an OpenStack clouds.yaml file. Provides default values for auth and auth_type. This parameter is not needed if auth is provided or if OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present. If cloud is a dict, it contains a complete cloud configuration like would be in a section of clouds.yaml.
delete_public_ip boolean				no ← yes	When `state=absent` and this option is true, any public IP address associated with the VIP will be deleted along with the load balancer.
flavor string					The flavor of the load balancer.
interface string				admin internal public ←	Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog. aliases: endpoint_type
listeners list / elements=dictionary					A list of listeners that attached to the load balancer.
	allowed_cidrs string			Default: []	A list of IPv4, IPv6 or mix of both CIDRs to be allowed access to the listener. The default is all allowed. When a list of CIDRs is provided, the default switches to deny all. Ignored on unsupported Octavia versions (less than 2.12)
	name string				The listener name or ID.
	pool string				The pool attached to the listener.
		lb_algorithm string		Default: "ROUND_ROBIN"	The load balancing algorithm for the pool.
		members string			A list of members that added to the pool.
			address string		The IP address of the member.
			name string		The member name or ID.
			protocol_port string	Default: 80	The protocol port number for the member.
			subnet string		The name or ID of the subnet the member service is accessible from.
		name string			The pool name or ID.
		protocol string		Default: "HTTP"	The protocol for the pool.
	protocol string			Default: "HTTP"	The protocol for the listener.
	protocol_port string			Default: 80	The protocol port number for the listener.
name string / required					The name of the load balancer.
public_ip_address string					Public IP address associated with the VIP.
public_network string					The name or ID of a Neutron external network.
region_name string					Name of the region.
state string				present ← absent	Should the resource be present or absent.
timeout integer				Default: 180	The amount of time the module should wait.
validate_certs boolean				no ← yes	Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified. Before Ansible 2.3 this defaulted to `yes`. aliases: verify
vip_address string					IP address of the load balancer virtual IP.
vip_network string					The name or id of the network for the virtual IP of the load balancer. One of vip_network, vip_subnet, or vip_port must be specified for creation.
vip_port string					The name or id of the load balancer virtual IP port. One of vip_network, vip_subnet, or vip_port must be specified for creation.
vip_subnet string					The name or id of the subnet for the virtual IP of the load balancer. One of vip_network, vip_subnet, or vip_port must be specified for creation.
wait boolean				no yes ←	If the module should wait for the load balancer to be created or deleted.

Notes

Note

The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.
Auth information is driven by openstacksdk, which means that values can come from a yaml config file in /etc/ansible/openstack.yaml, /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml or ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml, then from standard environment variables, then finally by explicit parameters in plays. More information can be found at https://docs.openstack.org/openstacksdk/
