Notes
Note
- It is recommended that plays utilizing this module be run with
serial: 1
to avoid exceeding the API request limit imposed by the Rackspace CloudDNS API - To manipulate a
PTR
record eitherloadbalancer
orserver
must be supplied - As of version 1.7, the
type
field is required and no longer defaults to anA
record. PTR
record support was added in version 1.7- The following environment variables can be used,
RAX_USERNAME
,RAX_API_KEY
,RAX_CREDS_FILE
,RAX_CREDENTIALS
,RAX_REGION
. RAX_CREDENTIALS
andRAX_CREDS_FILE
points to a credentials file appropriate for pyrax. See https://github.com/rackspace/pyrax/blob/master/docs/getting_started.md#authenticatingRAX_USERNAME
andRAX_API_KEY
