Requirements

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

python >= 2.6
cs >= 0.6.10

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
account -		Account the firewall rule is related to.
api_http_method -	get post	HTTP method used to query the API endpoint. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_METHOD` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes. Fallback value is `get` if not specified.
api_key -		API key of the CloudStack API. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_KEY` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
api_region -	Default: "cloudstack"	Name of the ini section in the `cloustack.ini` file. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_REGION` env variable is considered.
api_secret -		Secret key of the CloudStack API. If not set, the `CLOUDSTACK_SECRET` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
api_timeout -		HTTP timeout in seconds. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_TIMEOUT` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes. Fallback value is 10 seconds if not specified.
api_url -		URL of the CloudStack API e.g. https://cloud.example.com/client/api. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
cidrs -	Default: "0.0.0.0/0"	List of CIDRs (full notation) to be used for firewall rule. Since version 2.5, it is a list of CIDR. aliases: cidr
domain -		Domain the firewall rule is related to.
end_port -		End port for this rule. Considered if `protocol=tcp` or `protocol=udp`. If not specified, equal `start_port`.
icmp_code -		Error code for this icmp message. Considered if `protocol=icmp`.
icmp_type -		Type of the icmp message being sent. Considered if `protocol=icmp`.
ip_address -		Public IP address the ingress rule is assigned to. Required if `type=ingress`.
network -		Network the egress rule is related to. Required if `type=egress`.
poll_async boolean	no yes ←	Poll async jobs until job has finished.
project -		Name of the project the firewall rule is related to.
protocol -	tcp ← udp icmp all	Protocol of the firewall rule. `all` is only available if `type=egress`.
start_port -		Start port for this rule. Considered if `protocol=tcp` or `protocol=udp`. aliases: port
state -	present ← absent	State of the firewall rule.
tags - added in 2.4		List of tags. Tags are a list of dictionaries having keys `key` and `value`. To delete all tags, set a empty list e.g. `tags: []`. aliases: tag
type -	ingress ← egress	Type of the firewall rule.
zone -		Name of the zone in which the virtual machine is in. If not set, default zone is used.

Notes

Note

Ansible uses the cs library’s configuration method if credentials are not provided by the arguments api_url, api_key, api_secret. Configuration is read from several locations, in the following order. The CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT, CLOUDSTACK_KEY, CLOUDSTACK_SECRET and CLOUDSTACK_METHOD. CLOUDSTACK_TIMEOUT environment variables. A CLOUDSTACK_CONFIG environment variable pointing to an .ini file. A cloudstack.ini file in the current working directory. A .cloudstack.ini file in the users home directory. Optionally multiple credentials and endpoints can be specified using ini sections in cloudstack.ini. Use the argument api_region to select the section name, default section is cloudstack. See https://github.com/exoscale/cs for more information.
A detailed guide about cloudstack modules can be found in the CloudStack Cloud Guide.
This module supports check mode.
