Synopsis

Can create or delete AWS Autoscaling Configurations.
Works with the ec2_asg module to manage Autoscaling Groups.

Requirements

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

boto
boto3 >= 1.4.4
python >= 2.6

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
assign_public_ip boolean		no yes	Used for Auto Scaling groups that launch instances into an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud. Specifies whether to assign a public IP address to each instance launched in a Amazon VPC.
associate_public_ip_address boolean		no yes	The associate_public_ip_address option does nothing and will be removed after 2022-06-01
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. Parameters can be found at https://botocore.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/config.html#botocore.config.Config. 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
classic_link_vpc_id string			Id of ClassicLink enabled VPC
classic_link_vpc_security_groups list / elements=string			A list of security group IDs with which to associate the ClassicLink VPC instances.
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.
ebs_optimized boolean		no ← yes	Specifies whether the instance is optimized for EBS I/O (true) or not (false).
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
image_id string			The AMI unique identifier to be used for the group.
instance_id string			The Id of a running instance to use as a basis for a launch configuration. Can be used in place of image_id and instance_type.
instance_monitoring boolean		no ← yes	Specifies whether instances are launched with detailed monitoring.
instance_profile_name string			The name or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the instance profile associated with the IAM role for the instances.
instance_type string			Instance type to use for the instance. Required when creating a new Launch Configuration.
kernel_id string			Kernel id for the EC2 instance.
key_name string			The SSH key name to be used for access to managed instances.
name string / required			Unique name for configuration.
placement_tenancy string		default dedicated	Determines whether the instance runs on single-tenant hardware or not. When not set AWS will default to `default`.
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
ramdisk_id string			A RAM disk id for the instances.
region string			The AWS region to use. If not specified then the value of the AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION environment variable, if any, is used. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region aliases: aws_region, ec2_region
security_groups list / elements=string			A list of security groups to apply to the instances. Since version 2.4 you can specify either security group names or IDs or a mix. Previous to 2.4, for VPC instances, specify security group IDs and for EC2-Classic, specify either security group names or IDs.
security_token string			AWS STS security token. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN environment variable is used. If profile is set this parameter is ignored. Passing the security_token and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01. aliases: aws_security_token, access_token
spot_price float			The spot price you are bidding. Only applies for an autoscaling group with spot instances.
state string		present ← absent	Register or deregister the instance.
user_data string			Opaque blob of data which is made available to the ec2 instance. Mutually exclusive with user_data_path.
user_data_path path			Path to the file that contains userdata for the ec2 instances. Mutually exclusive with user_data.
validate_certs boolean		no yes ←	When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.
volumes list / elements=dictionary			A list dictionaries defining the volumes to create. For any volume, a volume size less than 1 will be interpreted as a request not to create the volume.
	delete_on_termination boolean	no ← yes	Whether the volume should be automatically deleted when the instance is terminated.
	device_name string / required		The name for the volume (For example `/dev/sda`).
	encrypted boolean	no ← yes	Whether the volume should be encrypted using the 'aws/ebs' KMS CMK.
	ephemeral string		Whether the volume should be ephemeral. Data on ephemeral volumes is lost when the instance is stopped. Mutually exclusive with the snapshot parameter.
	iops integer		The number of IOPS per second to provision for the volume. Required when volume_type=io1.
	no_device boolean	no yes	When no_device=true the device will not be created.
	snapshot string		The ID of an EBS snapshot to copy when creating the volume. Mutually exclusive with the ephemeral parameter.
	volume_size integer		The size of the volume (in GiB). Required unless one of ephemeral, snapshot or no_device is set.
	volume_type string		The type of volume to create. See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSVolumeTypes.html for more information on the available volume types.
vpc_id string			VPC ID, used when resolving security group names to IDs.

Notes

Note

Amazon ASG Autoscaling Launch Configurations are immutable once created, so modifying the configuration after it is changed will not modify the launch configuration on AWS. You must create a new config and assign it to the ASG instead.
encrypted volumes are supported on versions >= 2.4
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
