Synopsis

Use the OpenShift Python client to perform read operations on K8s objects.
Access to the full range of K8s APIs.
Authenticate using either a config file, certificates, password or token.
Supports check mode.
This module was called k8s_facts before Ansible 2.9. The usage did not change.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Requirements

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

python >= 2.7
openshift >= 0.6
PyYAML >= 3.11

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
api_key string			Token used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_API_KEY environment variable.
api_version string		Default: "v1"	Use to specify the API version. Use to create, delete, or discover an object without providing a full resource definition. Use in conjunction with kind, name, and namespace to identify a specific object. If resource definition is provided, the apiVersion value from the resource_definition will override this option. aliases: api, version
ca_cert path			Path to a CA certificate used to authenticate with the API. The full certificate chain must be provided to avoid certificate validation errors. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_SSL_CA_CERT environment variable. aliases: ssl_ca_cert
client_cert path			Path to a certificate used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CERT_FILE environment variable. aliases: cert_file
client_key path			Path to a key file used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_KEY_FILE environment variable. aliases: key_file
context string			The name of a context found in the config file. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CONTEXT environment variable.
field_selectors list / elements=string			List of field selectors to use to filter results
host string			Provide a URL for accessing the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_HOST environment variable.
kind string / required			Use to specify an object model. Use to create, delete, or discover an object without providing a full resource definition. Use in conjunction with api_version, name, and namespace to identify a specific object. If resource definition is provided, the kind value from the resource_definition will override this option.
kubeconfig path			Path to an existing Kubernetes config file. If not provided, and no other connection options are provided, the openshift client will attempt to load the default configuration file from ~/.kube/config.json. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_KUBECONFIG environment variable.
label_selectors list / elements=string			List of label selectors to use to filter results
name string			Use to specify an object name. Use to create, delete, or discover an object without providing a full resource definition. Use in conjunction with api_version, kind and namespace to identify a specific object. If resource definition is provided, the metadata.name value from the resource_definition will override this option.
namespace string			Use to specify an object namespace. Useful when creating, deleting, or discovering an object without providing a full resource definition. Use in conjunction with api_version, kind, and name to identify a specific object. If resource definition is provided, the metadata.namespace value from the resource_definition will override this option.
password string			Provide a password for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PASSWORD environment variable. Please read the description of the `username` option for a discussion of when this option is applicable.
persist_config boolean		Choices: no yes	Whether or not to save the kube config refresh tokens. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PERSIST_CONFIG environment variable. When the k8s context is using a user credentials with refresh tokens (like oidc or gke/gcloud auth), the token is refreshed by the k8s python client library but not saved by default. So the old refresh token can expire and the next auth might fail. Setting this flag to true will tell the k8s python client to save the new refresh token to the kube config file. Default to false. Please note that the current version of the k8s python client library does not support setting this flag to True yet. The fix for this k8s python library is here: https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python-base/pull/169
proxy string			The URL of an HTTP proxy to use for the connection. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY environment variable. Please note that this module does not pick up typical proxy settings from the environment (e.g. HTTP_PROXY).
username string			Provide a username for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_USERNAME environment variable. Please note that this only works with clusters configured to use HTTP Basic Auth. If your cluster has a different form of authentication (e.g. OAuth2 in OpenShift), this option will not work as expected and you should look into the `k8s_auth` module, as that might do what you need.
validate_certs boolean		Choices: no yes	Whether or not to verify the API server's SSL certificates. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_VERIFY_SSL environment variable. aliases: verify_ssl
wait boolean		Choices: no ← yes	Whether to wait for certain resource kinds to end up in the desired state. By default the module exits once Kubernetes has received the request. Implemented for `state=present` for `Deployment`, `DaemonSet` and `Pod`, and for `state=absent` for all resource kinds. For resource kinds without an implementation, `wait` returns immediately unless `wait_condition` is set.
wait_condition dictionary			Specifies a custom condition on the status to wait for. Ignored if `wait` is not set or is set to False.
	reason string		The value of the reason field in your desired condition For example, if a `Deployment` is paused, The `Progressing` `type` will have the `DeploymentPaused` reason. The possible reasons in a condition are specific to each resource type in Kubernetes. See the API documentation of the status field for a given resource to see possible choices.
	status string	Choices: True ← False Unknown	The value of the status field in your desired condition. For example, if a `Deployment` is paused, the `Progressing` `type` will have the `Unknown` status.
	type string		The type of condition to wait for. For example, the `Pod` resource will set the `Ready` condition (among others). Required if you are specifying a `wait_condition`. If left empty, the `wait_condition` field will be ignored. The possible types for a condition are specific to each resource type in Kubernetes. See the API documentation of the status field for a given resource to see possible choices.
wait_sleep integer		Default: 5	Number of seconds to sleep between checks.
wait_timeout integer		Default: 120	How long in seconds to wait for the resource to end up in the desired state. Ignored if `wait` is not set.

Notes

Note

The OpenShift Python client wraps the K8s Python client, providing full access to all of the APIS and models available on both platforms. For API version details and additional information visit https://github.com/openshift/openshift-restclient-python
To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when validate_certs is True, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via ca_cert or in the kubeconfig file.
