New in version 2.7.
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | 
|---|---|---|
| api_timeout  integer  | How long should the socket layer wait before timing out for API calls. If this is omitted, nothing will be passed to the requests library. | |
| auth  dictionary  | Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud's auth plugin strategy. For the default password plugin, this would contain auth_url, username, password, project_name and any information about domains (for example, os_user_domain_name or os_project_domain_name) if the cloud supports them. For other plugins, this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided or OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present. | |
| auth_type  string  | Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here and the contents of the auth parameter should be updated accordingly. | |
| availability_zone  -  | Ignored. Present for backwards compatibility | |
| ca_cert  string  | A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests. aliases: cacert | |
| client_cert  string  | A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction. aliases: cert | |
| client_key  string  | A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction. aliases: key | |
| cloud  raw  | Named cloud or cloud config to operate against. If cloud is a string, it references a named cloud config as defined in an OpenStack clouds.yaml file. Provides default values for auth and auth_type. This parameter is not needed if auth is provided or if OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present. If cloud is a dict, it contains a complete cloud configuration like would be in a section of clouds.yaml. | |
| interface  string  | 
 | Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog. aliases: endpoint_type | 
| lb_algorithm  -  | 
 | The load balancing algorithm for the pool. | 
| listener  -  | The name or id of the listener that this pool belongs to. Either loadbalancer or listener must be specified for pool creation. | |
| loadbalancer  -  | The name or id of the load balancer that this pool belongs to. Either loadbalancer or listener must be specified for pool creation. | |
| name  - / required  | Name that has to be given to the pool | |
| protocol  -  | 
 | The protocol for the pool. | 
| region_name  string  | Name of the region. | |
| state  -  | 
 | Should the resource be present or absent. | 
| timeout  integer  | Default: 180 | The amount of time the module should wait for the pool to get into ACTIVE state. | 
| validate_certs  boolean  | 
 | Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified. Before Ansible 2.3 this defaulted to  yes.aliases: verify | 
| wait  boolean  | 
 | If the module should wait for the pool to be ACTIVE. | 
Note
OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.# Create a pool, wait for the pool to be active.
