os_security_group_rule – Add/Delete rule from an existing security group

Synopsis

• Add or Remove rule from an existing security group

Requirements

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

• openstacksdk

• openstacksdk >= 0.12.0

• python >= 2.7

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
api_timeout integer		How long should the socket layer wait before timing out for API calls. If this is omitted, nothing will be passed to the requests library.
auth dictionary		Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud's auth plugin strategy. For the default password plugin, this would contain auth_url, username, password, project_name and any information about domains (for example, os_user_domain_name or os_project_domain_name) if the cloud supports them. For other plugins, this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided or OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.
auth_type string		Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here and the contents of the auth parameter should be updated accordingly.
availability_zone -		Ignored. Present for backwards compatibility
ca_cert string		A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests. aliases: cacert
client_cert string		A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction. aliases: cert
client_key string		A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction. aliases: key
cloud raw		Named cloud or cloud config to operate against. If cloud is a string, it references a named cloud config as defined in an OpenStack clouds.yaml file. Provides default values for auth and auth_type. This parameter is not needed if auth is provided or if OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present. If cloud is a dict, it contains a complete cloud configuration like would be in a section of clouds.yaml.
direction -	Choices: egress ingress ←	The direction in which the security group rule is applied. Not all providers support egress.
ethertype -	Choices: IPv4 ← IPv6	Must be IPv4 or IPv6, and addresses represented in CIDR must match the ingress or egress rules. Not all providers support IPv6.
interface string	Choices: admin internal public ←	Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog. aliases: endpoint_type
port_range_max -		Ending port
port_range_min -		Starting port
project - added in 2.7		Unique name or ID of the project.
protocol -	Choices: tcp udp icmp 112 None	IP protocols TCP UDP ICMP 112 (VRRP)
region_name string		Name of the region.
remote_group -		Name or ID of the Security group to link (exclusive with remote_ip_prefix)
remote_ip_prefix -		Source IP address(es) in CIDR notation (exclusive with remote_group)
security_group - / required		Name or ID of the security group
state -	Choices: present ← absent	Should the resource be present or absent.
timeout integer	Default: 180	How long should ansible wait for the requested resource.
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified. Before Ansible 2.3 this defaulted to yes. aliases: verify
wait boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Should ansible wait until the requested resource is complete.

Notes

Note

• The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.

• Auth information is driven by openstacksdk, which means that values can come from a yaml config file in /etc/ansible/openstack.yaml, /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml or ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml, then from standard environment variables, then finally by explicit parameters in plays. More information can be found at https://docs.openstack.org/openstacksdk/

Examples

# Create a security group rule
- os_security_group_rule:
    cloud: mordred
    security_group: foo
    protocol: tcp
    port_range_min: 80
    port_range_max: 80
    remote_ip_prefix: 0.0.0.0/0

# Create a security group rule for ping
- os_security_group_rule:
    cloud: mordred
    security_group: foo
    protocol: icmp
    remote_ip_prefix: 0.0.0.0/0

# Another way to create the ping rule
- os_security_group_rule:
    cloud: mordred
    security_group: foo
    protocol: icmp
    port_range_min: -1
    port_range_max: -1
    remote_ip_prefix: 0.0.0.0/0

# Create a TCP rule covering all ports
- os_security_group_rule:
    cloud: mordred
    security_group: foo
    protocol: tcp
    port_range_min: 1
    port_range_max: 65535
    remote_ip_prefix: 0.0.0.0/0

# Another way to create the TCP rule above (defaults to all ports)
- os_security_group_rule:
    cloud: mordred
    security_group: foo
    protocol: tcp
    remote_ip_prefix: 0.0.0.0/0

# Create a rule for VRRP with numbered protocol 112
- os_security_group_rule:
    security_group: loadbalancer_sg
    protocol: 112
    remote_group: loadbalancer-node_sg

# Create a security group rule for a given project
- os_security_group_rule:
    cloud: mordred
    security_group: foo
    protocol: icmp
    remote_ip_prefix: 0.0.0.0/0
    project: myproj
