Note

This module is part of the amazon.aws collection (version 2.3.0).

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 amazon.aws.

To use it in a playbook, specify: amazon.aws.ec2_vpc_net.

New in version 1.0.0: of amazon.aws

Synopsis 

Create, modify, and terminate AWS virtual private clouds.

Requirements 

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

python >= 3.6
boto3 >= 1.15.0
botocore >= 1.18.0

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. Not used by boto 2 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.
cidr_block list / elements=string / required	The primary CIDR of the VPC. After 2.5 a list of CIDRs can be provided. The first in the list will be used as the primary CIDR and is used in conjunction with the `name` to ensure idempotence.
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
dhcp_opts_id string	The id of the DHCP options to use for this VPC.
dns_hostnames boolean	Whether to enable AWS hostname support. Choices: no yes ← (default)
dns_support boolean	Whether to enable AWS DNS support. Choices: no yes ← (default)
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.
ipv6_cidr boolean	Request an Amazon-provided IPv6 CIDR block with /56 prefix length. You cannot specify the range of IPv6 addresses, or the size of the CIDR block. Choices: no ← (default) yes
multi_ok boolean	By default the module will not create another VPC if there is another VPC with the same name and CIDR block. Specify this as true if you want duplicate VPCs created. Choices: no ← (default) yes
name string / required	The name to give your VPC. This is used in combination with `cidr_block` to determine if a VPC already exists.
profile aliases: aws_profile string	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_cidrs boolean	Remove CIDRs that are associated with the VPC and are not specified in `cidr_block`. Choices: no ← (default) yes
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	The state of the VPC. Either absent or present. Choices: present ← (default) absent
tags aliases: resource_tags dictionary	The tags you want attached to the VPC. This is independent of the name value, note if you pass a ‘Name’ key it would override the Name of the VPC if it’s different.
tenancy string	Whether to be default or dedicated tenancy. This cannot be changed after the VPC has been created. Choices: default ← (default) dedicated
validate_certs boolean	When set to “no”, SSL certificates will not be validated for communication with the AWS APIs. 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
When no credentials are explicitly provided the AWS SDK (boto3) that Ansible uses will fall back to its configuration files (typically ~/.aws/credentials). See https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/credentials.html for more information.
Modules based on the original AWS SDK (boto) may read their default configuration from different files. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html for more information.
AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be defined in the configuration files.
