community.aws.aws_acm – Upload and delete certificates in the AWS Certificate Manager service

Note

This plugin is part of the community.aws collection (version 1.5.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.aws.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.aws.aws_acm.

New in version 1.0.0: of community.aws

Synopsis

  • Import and delete certificates in Amazon Web Service’s Certificate Manager (AWS ACM).
  • This module does not currently interact with AWS-provided certificates. It currently only manages certificates provided to AWS by the user.
  • The ACM API allows users to upload multiple certificates for the same domain name, and even multiple identical certificates. This module attempts to restrict such freedoms, to be idempotent, as per the Ansible philosophy. It does this through applying AWS resource “Name” tags to ACM certificates.
  • When state=present, if there is one certificate in ACM with a Name tag equal to the name_tag parameter, and an identical body and chain, this task will succeed without effect.
  • When state=present, if there is one certificate in ACM a Name tag equal to the name_tag parameter, and a different body, this task will overwrite that certificate.
  • When state=present, if there are multiple certificates in ACM with a Name tag equal to the name_tag parameter, this task will fail.
  • When state=absent and certificate_arn is defined, this module will delete the ACM resource with that ARN if it exists in this region, and succeed without effect if it doesn’t exist.
  • When state=absent and domain_name is defined, this module will delete all ACM resources in this AWS region with a corresponding domain name. If there are none, it will succeed without effect.
  • When state=absent and certificate_arn is not defined, and domain_name is not defined, this module will delete all ACM resources in this AWS region with a corresponding Name tag. If there are none, it will succeed without effect.
  • Note that this may not work properly with keys of size 4096 bits, due to a limitation of the ACM API.

Requirements

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

  • boto
  • boto3
  • python >= 2.6

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
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.
If profile is set this parameter is ignored.
Passing the aws_access_key and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01.

aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key
aws_ca_bundle
path
The location of a CA Bundle to use when validating SSL certificates.
Only used for boto3 based modules.
Note: The CA Bundle is read 'module' side and may need to be explicitly copied from the controller if not run locally.
aws_config
dictionary
A dictionary to modify the botocore configuration.
Only the 'user_agent' key is used for boto modules. See http://boto.cloudhackers.com/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html#boto for more boto configuration.
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.
If profile is set this parameter is ignored.
Passing the aws_secret_key and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01.

aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key
certificate
string
The body of the PEM encoded public certificate.
Required when state is not absent.
If your certificate is in a file, use lookup('file', 'path/to/cert.pem').
certificate_arn
string
The ARN of a certificate in ACM to delete
Ignored when state=present.
If state=absent, you must provide one of certificate_arn, domain_name or name_tag.
If state=absent and no resource exists with this ARN in this region, the task will succeed with no effect.
If state=absent and the corresponding resource exists in a different region, this task may report success without deleting that resource.

aliases: arn
certificate_chain
string
The body of the PEM encoded chain for your certificate.
If your certificate chain is in a file, use lookup('file', 'path/to/chain.pem').
Ignored when state=absent
debug_botocore_endpoint_logs
boolean
    Choices:
  • 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.
domain_name
string
The domain name of the certificate.
If state=absent and domain_name is specified, this task will delete all ACM certificates with this domain.
Exactly one of domain_name, name_tag and certificate_arn must be provided.
If state=present this must not be specified. (Since the domain name is encoded within the public certificate's body.)

aliases: domain
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.

aliases: aws_endpoint_url, endpoint_url
name_tag
string
The unique identifier for tagging resources using AWS tags, with key Name.
This can be any set of characters accepted by AWS for tag values.
This is to ensure Ansible can treat certificates idempotently, even though the ACM API allows duplicate certificates.
If state=preset, this must be specified.
If state=absent, you must provide exactly one of certificate_arn, domain_name or name_tag.

aliases: name
private_key
string
The body of the PEM encoded private key.
Required when state=present.
Ignored when state=absent.
If your private key is in a file, use lookup('file', 'path/to/key.pem').
profile
string
Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
Using profile will override aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token and support for passing them at the same time as profile has been deprecated.
aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token will be made mutually exclusive with profile after 2022-06-01.

aliases: aws_profile
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.
If profile is set this parameter is ignored.
Passing the security_token and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01.

aliases: aws_security_token, access_token
state
string
    Choices:
  • present
  • absent
If state=present, the specified public certificate and private key will be uploaded, with Name tag equal to name_tag.
If state=absent, any certificates in this region with a corresponding domain_name, name_tag or certificate_arn will be deleted.
validate_certs
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.

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_PROFILE or AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE, 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, AWS_CA_BUNDLE
  • 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
