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.

content_based_deduplication

boolean

Enables content-based deduplication. Used for FIFOs only.

Defaults to false.

Choices:

  • no

  • yes

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

delay_seconds

aliases: delivery_delay

integer

The delivery delay in seconds.

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.

kms_data_key_reuse_period_seconds

aliases: kms_data_key_reuse_period

integer

The length of time, in seconds, for which Amazon SQS can reuse a data key to encrypt or decrypt messages before calling AWS KMS again.

kms_master_key_id

string

The ID of an AWS-managed customer master key (CMK) for Amazon SQS or a custom CMK.

maximum_message_size

integer

The maximum message size in bytes.

message_retention_period

integer

The message retention period in seconds.

name

string / required

Name of the queue.

policy

dictionary

The JSON dict policy to attach to queue.

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.

purge_tags

boolean

Remove tags not listed in tags.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

queue_type

string

Standard or FIFO queue.

queue_type can only be set at queue creation and will otherwise be ignored.

Choices:

  • standard ← (default)

  • fifo

receive_message_wait_time_seconds

aliases: receive_message_wait_time

integer

The receive message wait time in seconds.

redrive_policy

dictionary

JSON dict with the redrive_policy (see example).

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.

Create or delete the queue.

Choices:

  • present ← (default)

  • absent

tags

dictionary

Tag dict to apply to the queue (requires botocore 1.5.40 or above).

To remove all tags set tags={} and purge_tags=true.

validate_certs

boolean

When set to “no”, SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.

Choices:

  • no

  • yes ← (default)

visibility_timeout

aliases: default_visibility_timeout

integer

The default visibility timeout in seconds.

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
