Notes

Note

  • This module returns a variable ovirt_external_providers, which contains a list of external_providers. You need to register the result with the register keyword to use it.
  • In order to use this module you have to install oVirt Python SDK. To ensure it’s installed with correct version you can create the following task: ansible.builtin.pip: name=ovirt-engine-sdk-python version=4.3.0

Examples

# Examples don't contain auth parameter for simplicity,
# look at ovirt_auth module to see how to reuse authentication:

- name: Gather information about all image external providers named glance
  ovirt_external_provider_info:
    type: os_image
    name: glance
  register: result

- name: Print gathered information
  ansible.builtin.debug:
    msg: "{{ result.ovirt_external_providers }}"

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key Returned Description
ovirt_external_providers
list / elements=string
