openstack.cloud.security_group_rule – Add/Delete rule from an existing security group

Note

This plugin is part of the openstack.cloud collection (version 1.5.3).

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 openstack.cloud.

To use it in a playbook, specify: openstack.cloud.security_group_rule.

Add or Remove rule from an existing security group

Requirements 

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

openstacksdk
openstacksdk >= 0.12.0
python >= 3.6

Parameters 

Parameter	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, user_domain_name or 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 string	Ignored. Present for backwards compatibility
ca_cert aliases: cacert string	A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests.
client_cert aliases: cert string	A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction.
client_key aliases: key string	A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction.
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.
direction string	The direction in which the security group rule is applied. Not all providers support egress. Choices: egress ingress ← (default)
ethertype string	Must be IPv4 or IPv6, and addresses represented in CIDR must match the ingress or egress rules. Not all providers support IPv6. Choices: IPv4 ← (default) IPv6
interface aliases: endpoint_type string	Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog. Choices: admin internal public ← (default)
port_range_max integer	Ending port
port_range_min integer	Starting port
project string	Unique name or ID of the project.
protocol string	IP protocols ANY TCP UDP ICMP and others, also number in range 0-255
region_name string	Name of the region.
remote_group string	Name or ID of the Security group to link (exclusive with remote_ip_prefix)
remote_ip_prefix string	Source IP address(es) in CIDR notation (exclusive with remote_group)
security_group string / required	Name or ID of the security group
state string	Should the resource be present or absent. Choices: present ← (default) absent
timeout integer	How long should ansible wait for the requested resource. Default: 180
validate_certs aliases: verify boolean	Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified. Before Ansible 2.3 this defaulted to `yes`. Choices: no yes
wait boolean	Should ansible wait until the requested resource is complete. Choices: no yes ← (default)

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/
