Synopsis

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
cross_zone_load_balancing
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Indicates whether cross-zone load balancing is enabled.
Defaults to false.
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.

boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Indicates whether deletion protection for the ELB is enabled.
Defaults to false.
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
ip_address_type
string
    Choices:
  • ipv4
  • dualstack
Sets the type of IP addresses used by the subnets of the specified Application Load Balancer.
listeners
list / elements=dictionary
A list of dicts containing listeners to attach to the ELB. See examples for detail of the dict required. Note that listener keys are CamelCased.
Certificates
list / elements=dictionary
The SSL server certificate.
CertificateArn
string
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the certificate.
DefaultActions
list / elements=dictionary / required
The default actions for the listener.

string
The type of action.
Port
integer / required
The port on which the load balancer is listening.
Protocol
string / required
The protocol for connections from clients to the load balancer.
SslPolicy
string
The security policy that defines which ciphers and protocols are supported.
name
string / required
The name of the load balancer. This name must be unique within your AWS account, can have a maximum of 32 characters, must contain only alphanumeric characters or hyphens, and must not begin or end with a hyphen.
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
purge_listeners
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
If purge_listeners=true, existing listeners will be purged from the ELB to match exactly what is defined by listeners parameter.
If the listeners parameter is not set then listeners will not be modified.
purge_tags
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
If purge_tags=true, existing tags will be purged from the resource to match exactly what is defined by tags parameter.

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
Create or destroy the load balancer.
The current default is absent. However, this behavior is inconsistent with other modules and as such the default will change to present in 2.14. To maintain the existing behavior explicitly set state=absent.
subnet_mappings
list / elements=dictionary
A list of dicts containing the IDs of the subnets to attach to the load balancer. You can also specify the allocation ID of an Elastic IP to attach to the load balancer. You can specify one Elastic IP address per subnet.
This parameter is mutually exclusive with subnets.
subnets
list / elements=string
A list of the IDs of the subnets to attach to the load balancer. You can specify only one subnet per Availability Zone. You must specify subnets from at least two Availability Zones.
Required when state=present.
This parameter is mutually exclusive with subnet_mappings.
tags
dictionary
A dictionary of one or more tags to assign to the load balancer.
validate_certs

When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.
wait
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Whether or not to wait for the network load balancer to reach the desired state.
wait_timeout
integer
The duration in seconds to wait, used in conjunction with wait.

Notes

Note

  • Listeners are matched based on port. If a listener’s port is changed then a new listener will be created.
  • Listener rules are matched based on priority. If a rule’s priority is changed then a new rule will be created.
  • 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
