New in version 2.5.


Synopsis

  • Allows for invalidation of a batch of paths for a 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

alias

-

The alias of the cloudfront distribution to invalidate paths for. Can be specified instead of distribution_id.

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

caller_reference

-

Default:

"current datetime stamp"

A unique reference identifier for the invalidation paths.

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_id

-

The id of the cloudfront distribution to invalidate paths for. Can be specified instead of the alias.

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.

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

target_paths

- / required

A list of paths on the distribution to invalidate. Each path should begin with '/'. Wildcards are allowed. eg. '/foo/bar/*'

validate_certs

boolean

  • no
  • yes

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



Notes

Note

  • does not support check mode
  • 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

- name: create a batch of invalidations using a distribution_id for a reference

    target_paths:
      - /testpathone/test1.css
      - /testpathtwo/test2.js
      - /testpaththree/test3.ss

- name: create a batch of invalidations using an alias as a reference and one path using a wildcard match
  cloudfront_invalidation:
    alias: alias.test.com
    caller_reference: testing 123
    target_paths:
      - /testpathone/test4.css
      - /testpathtwo/test5.js
      - /testpaththree/*
