Notes

Note

  • This module creates a new top-level ovirt_external_providers fact, which contains a list of external_providers.
  • In order to use this module you have to install oVirt Python SDK. To ensure it’s installed with correct version you can create the following task: pip: name=ovirt-engine-sdk-python version=4.2.4


Examples

# Examples don't contain auth parameter for simplicity,
# look at ovirt_auth module to see how to reuse authentication:

# Gather facts about all image external providers named C<glance>:
- ovirt_external_provider_facts:
    type: os_image
    name: glance
- debug:
    var: ovirt_external_providers
