wait

boolean

Whether to wait for the cluster to be available, stopped, or deleted. At a later time a wait_timeout option may be added. Following each API call to create/modify/delete the instance a waiter is used with a 60 second delay 30 times until the instance reaches the expected state (available/stopped/deleted). The total task time may also be influenced by AWSRetry which helps stabilize if the instance is in an invalid state to operate on to begin with (such as if you try to stop it when it is in the process of rebooting). If setting this to False task retries and delays may make your playbook execution better handle timeouts for major modifications.

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
