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.

Synopsis

  • 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/

    cloud: mordred
    security_group: foo
    protocol: icmp
    remote_ip_prefix: 0.0.0.0/0

# Another way to create the ping rule
- openstack.cloud.security_group_rule:
    cloud: mordred
    security_group: foo
    protocol: icmp
    port_range_min: -1
    port_range_max: -1
    remote_ip_prefix: 0.0.0.0/0

# Create a TCP rule covering all ports
- openstack.cloud.security_group_rule:

    protocol: tcp
    port_range_min: 1
    port_range_max: 65535
    remote_ip_prefix: 0.0.0.0/0
