New in version 2.3.


Synopsis

  • Gets information about an AWS CloudFront distribution

Requirements

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

  • boto
  • boto3 >= 1.0.0
  • python >= 2.6

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

all_lists

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Get all cloudfront lists that do not require parameters.

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.


aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key

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.


aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key

debug_botocore_endpoint_logs

boolean

added in 2.8

  • 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.

distribution

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Get information about a distribution. Requires distribution_id or domain_name_alias to be specified.

distribution_config

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Get the configuration information about a distribution. Requires distribution_id or domain_name_alias to be specified.

distribution_id

-

The id of the CloudFront distribution. Used with distribution, distribution_config, invalidation, streaming_distribution, streaming_distribution_config, list_invalidations.

domain_name_alias

-

Can be used instead of distribution_id - uses the aliased CNAME for the cloudfront distribution to get the distribution id where required.

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.

invalidation

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Get information about an invalidation. Requires invalidation_id to be specified.

invalidation_id

-

The id of the invalidation to get information about. Used with invalidation.

list_distributions

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Get a list of cloudfront distributions.

list_distributions_by_web_acl_id

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Get a list of distributions using web acl id as a filter. Requires web_acl_id to be set.

list_invalidations

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Get a list of invalidations. Requires distribution_id or domain_name_alias to be specified.

list_origin_access_identities

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Get a list of cloudfront origin access identities. Requires origin_access_identity_id to be set.

list_streaming_distributions

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Get a list of streaming distributions.

origin_access_identity

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Get information about an origin access identity. Requires origin_access_identity_id to be specified.

origin_access_identity_config

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Get the configuration information about an origin access identity. Requires origin_access_identity_id to be specified.

origin_access_identity_id

-

The id of the cloudfront origin access identity to get information about.

profile

string

Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.

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_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.


aliases: access_token

streaming_distribution

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Get information about a specified RTMP distribution. Requires distribution_id or domain_name_alias to be specified.

streaming_distribution_config

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Get the configuration information about a specified RTMP distribution. Requires distribution_id or domain_name_alias to be specified.

summary

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Returns a summary of all distributions, streaming distributions and origin_access_identities. This is the default behaviour if no option is selected.

validate_certs

boolean

  • no
  • yes

When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.

web_acl_id

-

Used with list_distributions_by_web_acl_id.



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
