Synopsis

• Creates and removes firewall rules.

Requirements

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

• python >= 2.6
• cs >= 0.6.10

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
account string		Account the firewall rule is related to.
api_http_method string	get post	HTTP method used to query the API endpoint. If not given, the CLOUDSTACK_METHOD env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes. Fallback value is get if not specified.
api_key string		API key of the CloudStack API. If not given, the CLOUDSTACK_KEY env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
api_region string	Default: "cloudstack"	Name of the ini section in the cloustack.ini file. If not given, the CLOUDSTACK_REGION env variable is considered.
api_secret string		Secret key of the CloudStack API. If not set, the CLOUDSTACK_SECRET env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
api_timeout integer		HTTP timeout in seconds. If not given, the CLOUDSTACK_TIMEOUT env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes. Fallback value is 10 seconds if not specified.
api_url string		URL of the CloudStack API e.g. https://cloud.example.com/client/api. If not given, the CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
cidrs list	Default: "0.0.0.0/0"	List of CIDRs (full notation) to be used for firewall rule. Since version 2.5, it is a list of CIDR. aliases: cidr
domain string		Domain the firewall rule is related to.
end_port integer		End port for this rule. Considered if protocol=tcp or protocol=udp. If not specified, equal start_port.
icmp_code integer		Error code for this icmp message. Considered if protocol=icmp.
icmp_type integer		Type of the icmp message being sent. Considered if protocol=icmp.
ip_address string		Public IP address the ingress rule is assigned to. Required if type=ingress.
network string		Network the egress rule is related to. Required if type=egress.
poll_async boolean	no yes ←	Poll async jobs until job has finished.
project string		Name of the project the firewall rule is related to.
protocol string	tcp ← udp icmp all	Protocol of the firewall rule. all is only available if type=egress.
start_port integer		Start port for this rule. Considered if protocol=tcp or protocol=udp. aliases: port
state string	present ← absent	State of the firewall rule.
tags list added in 2.4		List of tags. Tags are a list of dictionaries having keys key and value. To delete all tags, set an empty list e.g. tags: []. aliases: tag
type string	ingress ← egress	Type of the firewall rule.
zone string		Name of the zone in which the virtual machine is in. If not set, default zone is used.

Notes

Note

• Ansible uses the cs library’s configuration method if credentials are not provided by the arguments api_url, api_key, api_secret. Configuration is read from several locations, in the following order. The CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT, CLOUDSTACK_KEY, CLOUDSTACK_SECRET and CLOUDSTACK_METHOD. CLOUDSTACK_TIMEOUT environment variables. A CLOUDSTACK_CONFIG environment variable pointing to an .ini file. A cloudstack.ini file in the current working directory. A .cloudstack.ini file in the users home directory. Optionally multiple credentials and endpoints can be specified using ini sections in cloudstack.ini. Use the argument api_region to select the section name, default section is cloudstack. See https://github.com/exoscale/cs for more information.
• A detailed guide about cloudstack modules can be found in the CloudStack Cloud Guide.
• This module supports check mode.
