Note

This plugin is part of the amazon.aws collection (version 1.5.1).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install amazon.aws.

To use it in a playbook, specify: amazon.aws.ec2_vpc_dhcp_option.

New in version 1.0.0: of amazon.aws

Synopsis 

This module removes, or creates DHCP option sets, and can associate them to a VPC. Optionally, a new DHCP Options set can be created that converges a VPC’s existing DHCP option set with values provided. When dhcp_options_id is provided, the module will 1. remove (with state=’absent’) 2. ensure tags are applied (if state=’present’ and tags are provided 3. attach it to a VPC (if state=’present’ and a vpc_id is provided. If any of the optional values are missing, they will either be treated as a no-op (i.e., inherit what already exists for the VPC) To remove existing options while inheriting, supply an empty value (e.g. set ntp_servers to [] if you want to remove them from the VPC’s options) Most of the options should be self-explanatory.

Requirements 

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

boto
python >= 2.6

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
aws_access_key aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key string	AWS access key. If not set then the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is used. If profile is set this parameter is ignored. Passing the aws_access_key and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01.
aws_ca_bundle path	The location of a CA Bundle to use when validating SSL certificates. Only used for boto3 based modules. Note: The CA Bundle is read ‘module’ side and may need to be explicitly copied from the controller if not run locally.
aws_config dictionary	A dictionary to modify the botocore configuration. Parameters can be found at https://botocore.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/config.html#botocore.config.Config. Only the ‘user_agent’ key is used for boto modules. See http://boto.cloudhackers.com/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html#boto for more boto configuration.
aws_secret_key aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key string	AWS secret key. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_KEY, or EC2_SECRET_KEY environment variable is used. If profile is set this parameter is ignored. Passing the aws_secret_key and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01.
debug_botocore_endpoint_logs boolean	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. Use the aws_resource_action callback to output to total list made during a playbook. The ANSIBLE_DEBUG_BOTOCORE_LOGS environment variable may also be used. Choices: no ← (default) yes
delete_old boolean	Whether to delete the old VPC DHCP option set when associating a new one. This is primarily useful for debugging/development purposes when you want to quickly roll back to the old option set. Note that this setting will be ignored, and the old DHCP option set will be preserved, if it is in use by any other VPC. (Otherwise, AWS will return an error.) Choices: no yes ← (default)
dhcp_options_id string	The resource_id of an existing DHCP options set. If this is specified, then it will override other settings, except tags (which will be updated to match)
dns_servers list / elements=string	A list of hosts to set the DNS servers for the VPC to. (Should be a list of IP addresses rather than host names.)
domain_name string	The domain name to set in the DHCP option sets
ec2_url aliases: aws_endpoint_url, endpoint_url string	Url to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required. Must be specified for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL environment variable, if any, is used.
inherit_existing boolean	For any DHCP options not specified in these parameters, whether to inherit them from the options set already applied to vpc_id, or to reset them to be empty. Choices: no ← (default) yes
netbios_name_servers list / elements=string	List of hosts to advertise as NetBIOS servers.
netbios_node_type integer	NetBIOS node type to advertise in the DHCP options. The AWS recommendation is to use 2 (when using netbios name services) https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_DHCP_Options.html
ntp_servers list / elements=string	List of hosts to advertise as NTP servers for the VPC.
profile aliases: aws_profile string	Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0. Using profile will override aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token and support for passing them at the same time as profile has been deprecated. aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token will be made mutually exclusive with profile after 2022-06-01.
region aliases: aws_region, ec2_region string	The AWS region to use. If not specified then the value of the AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION environment variable, if any, is used. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region
security_token aliases: aws_security_token, access_token string	AWS STS security token. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN environment variable is used. If profile is set this parameter is ignored. Passing the security_token and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01.
state string	create/assign or remove the DHCP options. If state is set to absent, then a DHCP options set matched either by id, or tags and options will be removed if possible. Choices: absent present ← (default)
tags aliases: resource_tags dictionary	Tags to be applied to a VPC options set if a new one is created, or if the resource_id is provided. (options must match)
validate_certs boolean	When set to “no”, SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0. Choices: no yes ← (default)
vpc_id string	VPC ID to associate with the requested DHCP option set. If no vpc id is provided, and no matching option set is found then a new DHCP option set is created.

Notes 

Note

If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence AWS_URL or EC2_URL, AWS_PROFILE or AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_KEY or EC2_SECRET_KEY, AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN, AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION, AWS_CA_BUNDLE
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 or EC2_REGION can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
