New in version 2.6.


Synopsis

  • Create or Delete cinder block storage volume snapshots

Requirements

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

  • openstacksdk
  • openstacksdk >= 0.12.0
  • python >= 2.7

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

api_timeout

integer

How long should the socket layer wait before timing out for API calls. If this is omitted, nothing will be passed to the requests library.

auth

dictionary

Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud's auth plugin strategy. For the default password plugin, this would contain auth_url, username, password, project_name and any information about domains (for example, os_user_domain_name or os_project_domain_name) if the cloud supports them. For other plugins, this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided or OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.

auth_type

string

Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here and the contents of the auth parameter should be updated accordingly.

availability_zone

-

Availability zone in which to create the snapshot.

ca_cert

string

A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests.


aliases: cacert

client_cert

string

A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction.


aliases: cert

client_key

string

A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction.


aliases: key

cloud

raw

Named cloud or cloud config to operate against. If cloud is a string, it references a named cloud config as defined in an OpenStack clouds.yaml file. Provides default values for auth and auth_type. This parameter is not needed if auth is provided or if OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present. If cloud is a dict, it contains a complete cloud configuration like would be in a section of clouds.yaml.

display_description

-

String describing the snapshot


aliases: description

display_name

- / required

Name of the snapshot


aliases: name

force

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Allows or disallows snapshot of a volume to be created when the volume is attached to an instance.

interface

string

  • admin
  • internal
  • public

Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog.


aliases: endpoint_type

region_name

string

Name of the region.

state

-

  • present

  • absent

Should the resource be present or absent.

timeout

integer

Default:

180

How long should ansible wait for the requested resource.

validate_certs

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified.

Before Ansible 2.3 this defaulted to yes.


aliases: verify

volume

- / required

The volume name or id to create/delete the snapshot

wait

boolean

  • no
  • yes

Should ansible wait until the requested resource is complete.



Notes

Note

  • The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.
  • Auth information is driven by openstacksdk, which means that values can come from a yaml config file in /etc/ansible/openstack.yaml, /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml or ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml, then from standard environment variables, then finally by explicit parameters in plays. More information can be found at https://docs.openstack.org/openstacksdk/
