validate_certs
boolean
|

When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.
|
wait
boolean
|
|
Wait for the copied AMI to be in state 'available' before returning.

wait_timeout
-
|
Default: 600

How long before wait gives up, in seconds. Prior to 2.3 the default was 1200.

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
