cloudscale_floating_ip – Manages floating IPs on the cloudscale.ch IaaS service

New in version 2.5.

Synopsis

  • Create, assign and delete floating IPs on the cloudscale.ch IaaS service.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
api_timeout
-
Default:
30
Timeout in seconds for calls to the cloudscale.ch API.
api_token
-
cloudscale.ch API token.
This can also be passed in the CLOUDSCALE_API_TOKEN environment variable.
ip
string
Floating IP address to change.
Required to assign the IP to a different server or if state is absent.

aliases: network
ip_version
integer
    Choices:
  • 4
  • 6
IP protocol version of the floating IP.
prefix_length
integer
    Choices:
  • 56
Only valid if ip_version is 6.
Prefix length for the IPv6 network. Currently only a prefix of /56 can be requested. If no prefix_length is present, a single address is created.
reverse_ptr
string
Reverse PTR entry for this address.
You cannot set a reverse PTR entry for IPv6 floating networks. Reverse PTR entries are only allowed for single addresses.
server
string
UUID of the server assigned to this floating IP.
Required unless state is absent.
state
string
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
State of the floating IP.

Notes

Note

  • To create a new floating IP at least the ip_version and server options are required.
  • Once a floating_ip is created all parameters except server are read-only.
  • It’s not possible to request a floating IP without associating it with a server at the same time.
  • This module requires the ipaddress python library. This library is included in Python since version 3.3. It is available as a module on PyPI for earlier versions.
  • Instead of the api_token parameter the CLOUDSCALE_API_TOKEN environment variable can be used.
  • All operations are performed using the cloudscale.ch public API v1.
  • For details consult the full API documentation: https://www.cloudscale.ch/en/api/v1.
  • A valid API token is required for all operations. You can create as many tokens as you like using the cloudscale.ch control panel at https://control.cloudscale.ch.
