state string	Choices: present ← absent restarted	State of the network.
subdomain_access boolean added in 2.5	Choices: no yes	Defines whether to allow subdomains to use networks dedicated to their parent domain(s). Should be used with acl_type=domain. Only considered on create.
vlan string		The ID or VID of the network.
vpc string		Name of the VPC of the network.
zone string		Name of the zone in which the network should be deployed. 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.
