Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
aws_access_key
-
AWS access key. If not set then the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is used.

aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key
aws_secret_key
-
AWS secret key. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_KEY, or EC2_SECRET_KEY environment variable is used.

aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key
client_token
-
Optional client token to ensure idempotency
ec2_url
-
Url to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required. Must be specified for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL environment variable, if any, is used.
policy
-
A properly formatted json policy as string, see https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/7005#issuecomment-42894813. Cannot be used with policy_file.
Option when creating an endpoint. If not provided AWS will utilise a default policy which provides full access to the service.
policy_file
-
The path to the properly json formatted policy file, see https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/7005#issuecomment-42894813 on how to use it properly. Cannot be used with policy.
Option when creating an endpoint. If not provided AWS will utilise a default policy which provides full access to the service.

aliases: policy_path
profile
-
added in 1.6
Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
region
-
The AWS region to use. If not specified then the value of the AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION environment variable, if any, is used. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region

aliases: aws_region, ec2_region
route_table_ids

List of one or more route table ids to attach to the endpoint. A route is added to the route table with the destination of the endpoint if provided.
security_token
-
added in 1.6
AWS STS security token. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN environment variable is used.

aliases: access_token
service
-
An AWS supported vpc endpoint service. Use the ec2_vpc_endpoint_facts module to describe the supported endpoint services.
Required when creating an endpoint.
state
-
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
present to ensure resource is created.
absent to remove resource
validate_certs
boolean
added in 1.5
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.
vpc_endpoint_id
-
One or more vpc endpoint ids to remove from the AWS account
vpc_id
-
Required when creating a VPC endpoint.
wait
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
When specified, will wait for either available status for state present. Unfortunately this is ignored for delete actions due to a difference in behaviour from AWS.
wait_timeout
-
Default:
320
Used in conjunction with wait. Number of seconds to wait for status. Unfortunately this is ignored for delete actions due to a difference in behaviour from AWS.

Notes

Note

  • If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence AWS_URL or EC2_URL, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_KEY or EC2_SECRET_KEY, AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN, AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION
  • Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
  • AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
