Synopsis ¶

Acquires and associates a public IP to an account or project.
Due to API limitations this is not an idempotent call, so be sure to only conditionally call this when state=present.
Tagging the IP address can also make the call idempotent.

Requirements ¶

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

python >= 2.6
cs >= 0.6.10

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
account string		Account the IP address is related to.
api_http_method string	Choices: get post	HTTP method used to query the API endpoint. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_METHOD` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes. Fallback value is `get` if not specified.
api_key string		API key of the CloudStack API. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_KEY` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
api_region string	Default: "cloudstack"	Name of the ini section in the `cloustack.ini` file. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_REGION` env variable is considered.
api_secret string		Secret key of the CloudStack API. If not set, the `CLOUDSTACK_SECRET` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
api_timeout integer		HTTP timeout in seconds. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_TIMEOUT` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes. Fallback value is 10 seconds if not specified.
api_url string		URL of the CloudStack API e.g. https://cloud.example.com/client/api. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
domain string		Domain the IP address is related to.
ip_address string		Public IP address. Required if state=absent and tags is not set.
network string		Network the IP address is related to. Mutually exclusive with vpc.
poll_async boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Poll async jobs until job has finished.
project string		Name of the project the IP address is related to.
state string	Choices: present ← absent	State of the IP address.
tags list added in 2.6		List of tags. Tags are a list of dictionaries having keys key and value. Tags can be used as an unique identifier for the IP Addresses. In this case, at least one of them must be unique to ensure idempotency. aliases: tag
vpc string added in 2.2		VPC the IP address is related to. Mutually exclusive with network.
zone string		Name of the zone in which the IP address is in. If not set, default zone is used.

Notes ¶

Note

Ansible uses the cs library’s configuration method if credentials are not provided by the arguments api_url, api_key, api_secret. Configuration is read from several locations, in the following order. The CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT, CLOUDSTACK_KEY, CLOUDSTACK_SECRET and CLOUDSTACK_METHOD. CLOUDSTACK_TIMEOUT environment variables. A CLOUDSTACK_CONFIG environment variable pointing to an .ini file. A cloudstack.ini file in the current working directory. A .cloudstack.ini file in the users home directory. Optionally multiple credentials and endpoints can be specified using ini sections in cloudstack.ini. Use the argument api_region to select the section name, default section is cloudstack. See https://github.com/exoscale/cs for more information.
A detailed guide about cloudstack modules can be found in the CloudStack Cloud Guide.
This module supports check mode.
