Notes¶
Note
- Currently boto does not support the removal of Managed Policies, the module will error out if your user/group/role has managed policies when you try to do state=absent. They will need to be removed manually.
- 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¶
# Basic user creation example
tasks:
- name: Create two new IAM users with API keys
iam:
iam_type: user
name: "{{ item }}"
state: present
password: "{{ temp_pass }}"

# Advanced example, create two new groups and add the pre-existing user
# jdavila to both groups.
task:
- name: Create Two Groups, Mario and Luigi
iam:
iam_type: group
name: "{{ item }}"
state: present
loop:
- Mario
- Luigi
register: new_groups
- name:
iam:
iam_type: user
