consumer_key - / required		The consumer key to use

Notes

Note

• Uses the python OVH Api https://github.com/ovh/python-ovh. You have to create an application (a key and secret) with a consummer key as described into https://eu.api.ovh.com/g934.first_step_with_api

Examples

# Route an IP address 1.1.1.1 to the service ns666.ovh.net
- ovh_ip_failover:
    name: 1.1.1.1
    service: ns666.ovh.net
    endpoint: ovh-eu
    application_key: yourkey
    application_secret: yoursecret
    consumer_key: yourconsumerkey
- ovh_ip_failover:
    name: 1.1.1.1
    service: ns666.ovh.net
    endpoint: ovh-eu
    wait_completion: false
    application_key: yourkey
    application_secret: yoursecret
    consumer_key: yourconsumerkey
  register: moved
- ovh_ip_failover:
    name: 1.1.1.1
    service: ns666.ovh.net
    endpoint: ovh-eu
    wait_task_completion: "{{moved.taskId}}"
