Note
This plugin is part of the community.general collection.
To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.general.
To use it in a playbook, specify: community.general.ali_instance_facts.
ali_instance_facts before Ansible 2.9. The usage did not change.The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| alicloud_access_key string | Alibaba Cloud access key. If not set then the value of environment variable ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY, ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID will be used instead.aliases: access_key_id, access_key | |
| alicloud_assume_role dictionary | If provided with a role ARN, Ansible will attempt to assume this role using the supplied credentials. The nested assume_role block supports alicloud_assume_role_arn, alicloud_assume_role_session_name, alicloud_assume_role_session_expiration and alicloud_assume_role_policy
aliases: assume_role | |
| alicloud_assume_role_arn string | The Alibaba Cloud role_arn. The ARN of the role to assume. If ARN is set to an empty string, it does not perform role switching. It supports environment variable ALICLOUD_ASSUME_ROLE_ARN. ansible will execute with provided credentials. aliases: assume_role_arn | |
| alicloud_assume_role_session_expiration integer | The Alibaba Cloud session_expiration. The time after which the established session for assuming role expires. Valid value range 900-3600 seconds. Default to 3600 (in this case Alicloud use own default value). It supports environment variable ALICLOUD_ASSUME_ROLE_SESSION_EXPIRATION aliases: assume_role_session_expiration | |
| alicloud_assume_role_session_name string | The Alibaba Cloud session_name. The session name to use when assuming the role. If omitted, 'ansible' is passed to the AssumeRole call as session name. It supports environment variable ALICLOUD_ASSUME_ROLE_SESSION_NAME aliases: assume_role_session_name | |
| alicloud_region string / required | The Alibaba Cloud region to use. If not specified then the value of environment variable ALICLOUD_REGION, ALICLOUD_REGION_ID will be used instead.aliases: region, region_id | |
| alicloud_secret_key string | Alibaba Cloud secret key. If not set then the value of environment variable ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY, ALICLOUD_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY will be used instead.aliases: secret_access_key, secret_key | |
| alicloud_security_token string | The Alibaba Cloud security token. If not specified then the value of environment variable ALICLOUD_SECURITY_TOKEN will be used instead.aliases: security_token | |
| availability_zone string | (Deprecated) Aliyun availability zone ID in which to launch the instance. Please use filter item 'zone_id' instead. aliases: alicloud_zone | |
| ecs_role_name string | The RAM Role Name attached on a ECS instance for API operations. You can retrieve this from the 'Access Control' section of the Alibaba Cloud console. If you're running Ansible from an ECS instance with RAM Instance using RAM Role, Ansible will just access the metadata http://100.100.100.200/latest/meta-data/ram/security-credentials/<ecs_role_name> to obtain the STS credential. This is a preferred approach over any other when running in ECS as you can avoid hard coding credentials. Instead these are leased on-the-fly by Ansible which reduces the chance of leakage. aliases: role_name | |
| filters dictionary added in 0.2.0 of community.general | A dict of filters to apply. Each dict item consists of a filter key and a filter value. The filter keys can be all of request parameters. See https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/doc-detail/25506.htm for parameter details. Filter keys can be same as request parameter name or be lower case and use underscore ("_") or dash ("-") to connect different words in one parameter. 'InstanceIds' should be a list and it will be appended to instance_ids automatically. 'Tag.n.Key' and 'Tag.n.Value' should be a dict and using tags instead. | |
| instance_ids list / elements=string | A list of ECS instance ids. aliases: ids | |
| instance_names list / elements=string | (Deprecated) A list of ECS instance names. Please use filter item 'instance_name' instead. aliases: names | |
| name_prefix string added in 0.2.0 of community.general | Use a instance name prefix to filter ecs instances. | |
| profile string | This is the Alicloud profile name as set in the shared credentials file. It can also be sourced from the ALICLOUD_PROFILE environment variable. | |
| shared_credentials_file string | This is the path to the shared credentials file. It can also be sourced from the ALICLOUD_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE environment variable. If this is not set and a profile is specified, ~/.aliyun/config.json will be used. | |
| tags dictionary | A hash/dictionaries of instance tags. {"key":"value"}
aliases: instance_tags |

ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY or ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID, ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY or ALICLOUD_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, ALICLOUD_REGION or ALICLOUD_REGION_ID, ALICLOUD_SECURITY_TOKEN, ALICLOUD_ECS_ROLE_NAME, ALICLOUD_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE, ALICLOUD_PROFILE, ALICLOUD_ASSUME_ROLE_ARN, ALICLOUD_ASSUME_ROLE_SESSION_NAME, ALICLOUD_ASSUME_ROLE_SESSION_EXPIRATION,ALICLOUD_REGION or ALICLOUD_REGION_ID can be typically be used to specify the ALICLOUD region, when required, but this can also be configured in the footmark config file# Fetch instances details according to setting different filters
