Note

This plugin is part of the community.aws collection (version 1.5.0).

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 community.aws.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.aws.lambda_alias.

Synopsis 

This module allows the management of AWS Lambda functions aliases via the Ansible framework. It is idempotent and supports “Check” mode. Use module community.aws.lambda to manage the lambda function itself and community.aws.lambda_event to manage event source mappings.

Requirements 

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

boto
boto3
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
description string	A short, user-defined function alias description.
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.
function_name string / required	The name of the function alias.
function_version aliases: version integer	Version associated with the Lambda function alias. A value of 0 (or omitted parameter) sets the alias to the $LATEST version.
name aliases: alias_name string / required	Name of the function alias.
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	Describes the desired state. Choices: present ← (default) absent
validate_certs boolean	When set to “no”, SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0. Choices: no yes ← (default)

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
