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.

listeners
-
|
List of ports/protocols for this ELB to listen on (see example)
|
|
name
-
/ required

aliases: aws_region, ec2_region |
|
scheme
-
|
|
The scheme to use when creating the ELB. For a private VPC-visible ELB use 'internal'. If you choose to update your scheme with a different value the ELB will be destroyed and recreated. To update scheme you must use the option wait.
|
security_group_ids
-
|
A list of security groups to apply to the elb
|
|
security_group_names
-
|
A list of security group names to apply to the elb

|
|
tags
-
|
An associative array of tags. To delete all tags, supply an empty dict.

|
validate_certs
boolean
|
|
When set to
no , SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0. |
wait
boolean
|
|
When specified, Ansible will check the status of the load balancer to ensure it has been successfully removed from AWS.
|
wait_timeout
-
|
Default: 60
|
Used in conjunction with wait. Number of seconds to wait for the elb to be terminated. A maximum of 600 seconds (10 minutes) is allowed.
|
zones
-
|
List of availability zones to enable on this ELB
|
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
