Notes¶
Note
- 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
Examples¶
# Note: These examples do not set authentication details, see the AWS Guide for details.
# Get summary information about a stack
- cloudformation_info:
stack_name: my-cloudformation-stack
register: output
- debug:
msg: "{{ output['cloudformation']['my-cloudformation-stack'] }}"
# When the module is called as cloudformation_facts, return values are published
# in ansible_facts['cloudformation'][<stack_name>] and can be used as follows.
# Note that this is deprecated and will stop working in Ansible 2.13.
- cloudformation_facts:
stack_name: my-cloudformation-stack
- debug:
msg: "{{ ansible_facts['cloudformation']['my-cloudformation-stack'] }}"
# Get stack outputs, when you have the stack name available as a fact
- set_fact:
stack_name: my-awesome-stack
- cloudformation_info:
stack_name: "{{ stack_name }}"
register: my_stack
- debug:
msg: "{{ my_stack.cloudformation[stack_name].stack_outputs }}"
# Get all stack information about a stack
- cloudformation_info:
stack_name: my-cloudformation-stack
all_facts: true
# Get stack resource and stack policy information about a stack
- cloudformation_info:
stack_name: my-cloudformation-stack
stack_resources: true
stack_policy: true
# Fail if the stack doesn't exist
- name: try to get facts about a stack but fail if it doesn't exist
cloudformation_info:
stack_name: nonexistent-stack
all_facts: yes
failed_when: cloudformation['nonexistent-stack'] is undefined
