amazon.aws.ec2_vpc_dhcp_option module – Manages DHCP Options, and can ensure the DHCP options for the given VPC match what’s requested
Note
This module is part of the amazon.aws collection (version 7.4.0).
You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package.
It is not included in ansible-core.
To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.
To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install amazon.aws.
You need further requirements to be able to use this module,
see Requirements for details.
To use it in a playbook, specify: amazon.aws.ec2_vpc_dhcp_option.
New in amazon.aws 1.0.0
Synopsis
This module removes, or creates DHCP option sets, and can associate them to a VPC.
Optionally, a new DHCP Options set can be created that converges a VPC’s existing DHCP option set with values provided.
When dhcp_options_id is provided, the module will 1. remove (with state=’absent’) 2. ensure tags are applied (if state=’present’ and tags are provided 3. attach it to a VPC (if state=’present’ and a vpc_id is provided.
If any of the optional values are missing, they will either be treated as a no-op (i.e., inherit what already exists for the VPC)
To remove existing options while inheriting, supply an empty value (e.g. set ntp_servers to [] if you want to remove them from the VPC’s options)
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
python >= 3.6

Use a The Choices:
|
|
Whether to delete the old VPC DHCP option set when associating a new one. This is primarily useful for debugging/development purposes when you want to quickly roll back to the old option set. Note that this setting will be ignored, and the old DHCP option set will be preserved, if it is in use by any other VPC. (Otherwise, AWS will return an error.) Choices:
|
|
The resource_id of an existing DHCP options set. If this is specified, then it will override other settings, except tags (which will be updated to match) |
|
A list of IP addresses to set the DNS servers for the VPC to. |
|
The domain name to set in the DHCP option sets. |
|
URL to connect to instead of the default AWS endpoints. While this can be used to connection to other AWS-compatible services the amazon.aws and community.aws collections are only tested against AWS. The The ec2_url and s3_url aliases have been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2024-12-01. Support for the |

|
|
List of hosts to advertise as NetBIOS servers. |
|
NetBIOS node type to advertise in the DHCP options. The AWS recommendation is to use 2 (when using netbios name services) https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_DHCP_Options.html |
|
List of hosts to advertise as NTP servers for the VPC. |
|
A named AWS profile to use for authentication. See the AWS documentation for more information about named profiles https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-profiles.html. The The profile option is mutually exclusive with the aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token options. |
|
If purge_tags=true and tags is set, existing tags will be purged from the resource to match exactly what is defined by tags parameter. If the tags parameter is not set then tags will not be modified, even if purge_tags=True. Tag keys beginning with Choices:
|
|
The AWS region to use. For global services such as IAM, Route53 and CloudFront, region is ignored. The See the Amazon AWS documentation for more information http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region. The Support for the |

AWS secret access key. See the AWS documentation for more information about access tokens https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-sec-cred-types.html#access-keys-and-secret-access-keys. The The secret_key and profile options are mutually exclusive. The aws_secret_access_key alias was added in release 5.1.0 for consistency with the AWS botocore SDK.

AWS STS session token for use with temporary credentials. See the AWS documentation for more information about access tokens https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-sec-cred-types.html#access-keys-and-secret-access-keys. The The security_token and profile options are mutually exclusive. Aliases aws_session_token and session_token were added in release 3.2.0, with the parameter being renamed from security_token to session_token in release 6.0.0.

create/assign or remove the DHCP options. If state is set to absent, then a DHCP options set matched either by id, or tags and options will be removed if possible. Choices:
|
|
A dictionary representing the tags to be applied to the resource. If the tags parameter is not set then tags will not be modified. |
|
When set to Setting validate_certs=false is strongly discouraged, as an alternative, consider setting aws_ca_bundle instead. Choices:
|
|
VPC ID to associate with the requested DHCP option set. If no VPC ID is provided, and no matching option set is found then a new DHCP option set is created. |
Notes
Note
Support for purge_tags was added in release 2.0.0.
Caution: For modules, environment variables and configuration files are read from the Ansible ‘host’ context and not the ‘controller’ context. As such, files may need to be explicitly copied to the ‘host’. For lookup and connection plugins, environment variables and configuration files are read from the Ansible ‘controller’ context and not the ‘host’ context.
The AWS SDK (boto3) that Ansible uses may also read defaults for credentials and other settings, such as the region, from its configuration files in the Ansible ‘host’ context (typically
~/.aws/credentials). See https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/credentials.html for more information.
