New in version 2.5.
Requirements¶
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
- boto
- boto3
- botocore
- json
- python >= 2.6
Parameters¶
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
---|---|---|
aws_access_key
string
|
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
string
|
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 |
|
debug_botocore_endpoint_logs
boolean
added in 2.8 |
|
Use a botocore.endpoint logger to parse the unique (rather than total) "resource:action" API calls made during a task, outputing the set to the resource_actions key in the task results. Use the aws_resource_action callback to output to total list made during a playbook. The ANSIBLE_DEBUG_BOTOCORE_LOGS environment variable may also be used.
|
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.
|
|
maximum_tasks
-
added in 2.6 |
The maximum value to scale to in response to a scale out event. This parameter is required if you are creating a first new policy for the specified service.
|
|
minimum_tasks
-
added in 2.6 |
The minimum value to scale to in response to a scale in event. This parameter is required if you are creating a first new policy for the specified service.
|
|
override_task_capacity
boolean
added in 2.6 |
|
Whether or not to override values of minimum and/or maximum tasks if it's already set.
|
policy_name
-
/ required
|
The name of the scaling policy.
|
|
policy_type
-
/ required
|
|
The policy type.
|
profile
string
|
Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
|
|
region
string
|
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 |
|
resource_id
-
/ required
|
The identifier of the resource associated with the scalable target.
|
|
scalable_dimension
-
/ required
|
|
The scalable dimension associated with the scalable target.
|
security_token
string
|
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_namespace
-
/ required
|
|
The namespace of the AWS service.
|
step_scaling_policy_configuration
-
|
A step scaling policy. This parameter is required if you are creating a policy and the policy type is StepScaling.
|
|
target_tracking_scaling_policy_configuration
-
|
A target tracking policy. This parameter is required if you are creating a new policy and the policy type is TargetTrackingScaling.
|
|
validate_certs
boolean
|
|
When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.

Notes¶
Note
- for details of the parameters and returns see http://boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/services/application-autoscaling.html#ApplicationAutoScaling.Client.put_scaling_policy
- If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence
AWS_URL
orEC2_URL
,AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
orAWS_ACCESS_KEY
orEC2_ACCESS_KEY
,AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
orAWS_SECRET_KEY
orEC2_SECRET_KEY
,AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN
orEC2_SECURITY_TOKEN
,AWS_REGION
orEC2_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
orEC2_REGION
can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
