Requirements

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

• boto
• boto3
• botocore
• python >= 2.6

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. 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
connection_type string		Default: "ipsec.1"	The type of VPN connection. At this time only ipsec.1 is supported.
customer_gateway_id string			The ID of the customer gateway.
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.
delay integer		Default: 15	The time, in seconds, to wait before checking operation again.
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
filters dictionary			An alternative to using vpn_connection_id. If multiple matches are found, vpn_connection_id is required. If one of the following suboptions is a list of items to filter by, only one item needs to match to find the VPN that correlates. e.g. if the filter cidr is ['194.168.2.0/24', '192.168.2.0/24'] and the VPN route only has the destination cidr block of 192.168.2.0/24 it will be found with this filter (assuming there are not multiple VPNs that are matched). Another example, if the filter vpn is equal to ['vpn-ccf7e7ad', 'vpn-cb0ae2a2'] and one of of the VPNs has the state deleted (exists but is unmodifiable) and the other exists and is not deleted, it will be found via this filter. See examples.
	bgp string		The BGP ASN number associated with a BGP device. Only works if the connection is attached. This filtering option is currently not working.
	cgw string		The customer gateway id as a string or a list of those strings.
	cgw-config string		The customer gateway configuration of the VPN as a string (in the format of the return value) or a list of those strings.
	cidr string		The destination cidr of the VPN's route as a string or a list of those strings.
	static-routes-only string		The type of routing; true or false.
	tag-keys string		The key of a tag as a string or a list of those strings.
	tag-values string		The value of a tag as a string or a list of those strings.
	tags string		A dict of key value pairs.
	vgw string		The virtual private gateway as a string or a list of those strings.
	vpn string		The VPN connection id as a string or a list of those strings.
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
purge_routes boolean		no ← yes	Whether or not to delete VPN connections routes that are not specified in the task.
purge_tags boolean		no ← yes	Whether or not to delete VPN connections tags that are associated with the connection but not specified in the task.
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
routes list / elements=string			Routes to add to the connection.
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
state string		present ← absent	The desired state of the VPN connection.
static_only boolean		no ← yes	Indicates whether the VPN connection uses static routes only. Static routes must be used for devices that don't support BGP.
tags dictionary			Tags to attach to the VPN connection.
tunnel_options list / elements=dictionary			An optional list object containing no more than two dict members, each of which may contain TunnelInsideCidr and/or PreSharedKey keys with appropriate string values. AWS defaults will apply in absence of either of the aforementioned keys.
	PreSharedKey string		The pre-shared key (PSK) to establish initial authentication between the virtual private gateway and customer gateway.
	TunnelInsideCidr string		The range of inside IP addresses for the tunnel.
validate_certs boolean		no yes ←	When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.
vpn_connection_id string			The ID of the VPN connection. Required to modify or delete a connection if the filters option does not provide a unique match.
vpn_gateway_id string			The ID of the virtual private gateway.
wait_timeout integer		Default: 600	How long, in seconds, before wait gives up.

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
