  • python >= 2.6
  • boto

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

access_logs

-

added in 2.0

aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key

aws_secret_key

-

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.


aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key

connection_draining_timeout

-

added in 1.8

Wait a specified timeout allowing connections to drain before terminating an instance

cross_az_load_balancing

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Distribute load across all configured Availability Zones

ec2_url

-

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.

health_check

-

An associative array of health check configuration settings (see example)

idle_timeout

-

added in 2.0

ELB connections from clients and to servers are timed out after this amount of time

instance_ids

-

added in 2.1

listeners

-

List of ports/protocols for this ELB to listen on (see example)

name

- / required

The name of the ELB

added in 2.1

Default:

60

Used in conjunction with wait. Number of seconds to wait for the elb to be terminated. A maximum of 600 seconds (10 minutes) is allowed.

zones

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_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
  • 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


Examples

# Note: None of these examples set aws_access_key, aws_secret_key, or region.
# It is assumed that their matching environment variables are set.
