os_keypair – Add/Delete a keypair from OpenStack

Synopsis

• Add or Remove key pair from OpenStack

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

• python >= 2.7
• openstacksdk >= 0.12.0

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
api_timeout integer		How long should the socket layer wait before timing out for API calls. If this is omitted, nothing will be passed to the requests library.
auth dictionary		Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud's auth plugin strategy. For the default password plugin, this would contain auth_url, username, password, project_name and any information about domains (for example, os_user_domain_name or os_project_domain_name) if the cloud supports them. For other plugins, this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided or OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.
auth_type string		Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here and the contents of the auth parameter should be updated accordingly.
availability_zone -		Ignored. Present for backwards compatibility
ca_cert string		A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests. aliases: cacert
client_cert string		A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction. aliases: cert
client_key string		A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction. aliases: key
cloud raw		Named cloud or cloud config to operate against. If cloud is a string, it references a named cloud config as defined in an OpenStack clouds.yaml file. Provides default values for auth and auth_type. This parameter is not needed if auth is provided or if OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present. If cloud is a dict, it contains a complete cloud configuration like would be in a section of clouds.yaml.
interface string	Choices: admin internal public ←	Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog. aliases: endpoint_type
name - / required		Name that has to be given to the key pair
public_key -		The public key that would be uploaded to nova and injected into VMs upon creation.
public_key_file -		Path to local file containing ssh public key. Mutually exclusive with public_key.
region_name string		Name of the region.
state -	Choices: present ← absent	Should the resource be present or absent.
timeout integer	Default: 180	How long should ansible wait for the requested resource.
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified. Before Ansible 2.3 this defaulted to yes. aliases: verify
wait boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Should ansible wait until the requested resource is complete.

Notes

Note

• The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.
• Auth information is driven by openstacksdk, which means that values can come from a yaml config file in /etc/ansible/openstack.yaml, /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml or ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml, then from standard environment variables, then finally by explicit parameters in plays. More information can be found at https://docs.openstack.org/openstacksdk/

Examples

# Creates a key pair with the running users public key
- os_keypair:
      cloud: mordred
      state: present
      name: ansible_key
      public_key_file: /home/me/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

# Creates a new key pair and the private key returned after the run.
- os_keypair:
      cloud: rax-dfw
      state: present
      name: ansible_key

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Returned	Description
id string	success	Unique UUID.
name string	success	Name given to the keypair.
private_key string	Only when a keypair is generated for the user (e.g., when creating one and a public key is not specified).	The private key value for the keypair.
public_key string	success	The public key value for the keypair.
