Default value is false when creating a new VPC.

Choices:

  • false

multi_ok

boolean

By default the module will not create another VPC if there is another VPC with the same name and CIDR block. Specify multi_ok=true if you want duplicate VPCs created.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

name

string

The name to give your VPC. This is used in combination with cidr_block to determine if a VPC already exists.

The value of name overrides any value set for Name in the tags parameter.

At least one of name and vpc_id must be specified.

name must be specified when creating a new VPC.

profile

aliases: aws_profile

string

A named AWS profile to use for authentication.

Notes

Note

  • 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.
