Requirements 

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

openshift >= 0.8.2
python >= 2.7

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
affinity dictionary	Describes node affinity scheduling rules for the vm.
hard dictionary	If the affinity requirements specified by this field are not met at scheduling time, the vm will not be scheduled onto the node. If the affinity requirements specified by this field cease to be met at some point during vm execution (e.g. due to a vm label update), the system may or may not try to eventually evict the vm from its node. When there are multiple elements, the lists of nodes corresponding to each `term` are intersected, i.e. all terms must be satisfied.
soft dictionary	The scheduler will prefer to schedule vms to nodes that satisfy the affinity expressions specified by this field, but it may choose a node that violates one or more of the expressions. The node that is most preferred is the one with the greatest sum of weights, i.e. for each node that meets all of the scheduling requirements (resource request, requiredDuringScheduling affinity expressions, etc.), compute a sum by iterating through the elements of this field and adding `weight` to the sum if the node has vms which matches the corresponding `term`; the nodes with the highest sum are the most preferred.
anti_affinity dictionary	Describes vm anti-affinity scheduling rules e.g. avoid putting this vm in the same node, zone, etc. as some other vms.
hard dictionary	If the anti-affinity requirements specified by this field are not met at scheduling time, the vm will not be scheduled onto the node. If the anti-affinity requirements specified by this field cease to be met at some point during vm execution (e.g. due to a vm label update), the system may or may not try to eventually evict the vm from its node. When there are multiple elements, the lists of nodes corresponding to each `term` are intersected, i.e. all terms must be satisfied.
soft dictionary	The scheduler will prefer to schedule vms to nodes that satisfy the anti-affinity expressions specified by this field, but it may choose a node that violates one or more of the expressions. The node that is most preferred is the one with the greatest sum of weights, i.e. for each node that meets all of the scheduling requirements (resource request, requiredDuringScheduling anti-affinity expressions, etc.), compute a sum by iterating through the elements of this field and adding `weight` to the sum if the node has vms which matches the corresponding `term`; the nodes with the highest sum are the most preferred.
api_key string	Token used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_API_KEY environment variable.
bootloader string	Specify the bootloader of the virtual machine. All virtual machines use BIOS by default for booting.
ca_cert aliases: ssl_ca_cert path	Path to a CA certificate used to authenticate with the API. The full certificate chain must be provided to avoid certificate validation errors. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_SSL_CA_CERT environment variable.
client_cert aliases: cert_file path	Path to a certificate used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CERT_FILE environment variable.
client_key aliases: key_file path	Path to a key file used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_KEY_FILE environment variable.
cloud_init_nocloud dictionary	Represents a cloud-init NoCloud user-data source. The NoCloud data will be added as a disk to the virtual machine. A proper cloud-init installation is required inside the guest. More information https://kubevirt.io/api-reference/master/definitions.html#_v1_cloudinitnocloudsource
context string	The name of a context found in the config file. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CONTEXT environment variable.
cpu_cores integer	Number of CPU cores.
cpu_features list / elements=string	List of dictionary to fine-tune features provided by the selected CPU model. Note: Policy attribute can either be omitted or contain one of the following policies: force, require, optional, disable, forbid. Note: In case a policy is omitted for a feature, it will default to require. More information about policies: https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsCPU
cpu_limit integer	Is converted to its millicore value and multiplied by 100. The resulting value is the total amount of CPU time that a container can use every 100ms. A virtual machine cannot use more than its share of CPU time during this interval.
cpu_model string	CPU model. You can check list of available models here: https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt/blob/master/src/cpu_map/index.xml. Note: User can define default CPU model via as default-cpu-model in kubevirt-config ConfigMap, if not set host-model is used. Note: Be sure that node CPU model where you run a VM, has the same or higher CPU family. Note: If CPU model wasn’t defined, the VM will have CPU model closest to one that used on the node where the VM is running.
cpu_shares integer	Specify CPU shares.
disks list / elements=string	List of dictionaries which specify disks of the virtual machine. A disk can be made accessible via four different types: disk, lun, cdrom, floppy. All possible configuration options are available in https://kubevirt.io/api-reference/master/definitions.html#_v1_disk Each disk must have specified a volume that declares which volume type of the disk All possible configuration options of volume are available in https://kubevirt.io/api-reference/master/definitions.html#_v1_volume.
force boolean	If set to `no`, and state is `present`, an existing object will be replaced. Choices: no ← (default) yes
headless string	Specify if the virtual machine should have attached a minimal Video and Graphics device configuration. By default a minimal Video and Graphics device configuration will be applied to the VirtualMachineInstance. The video device is vga compatible and comes with a memory size of 16 MB.
host string	Provide a URL for accessing the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_HOST environment variable.
hostname string	Specifies the hostname of the virtual machine. The hostname will be set either by dhcp, cloud-init if configured or virtual machine name will be used.
hugepage_size string	Specify huge page size.
impersonate_groups list / elements=string added in 2.3.0 of kubernetes.core	Group(s) to impersonate for the operation. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_IMPERSONATE_GROUPS environment. Example: Group1,Group2
impersonate_user string added in 2.3.0 of kubernetes.core	Username to impersonate for the operation. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_IMPERSONATE_USER environment.
interfaces list / elements=string	An interface defines a virtual network interface of a virtual machine (also called a frontend). All possible configuration options interfaces are available in https://kubevirt.io/api-reference/master/definitions.html#_v1_interface Each interface must have specified a network that declares which logical or physical device it is connected to (also called as backend). All possible configuration options of network are available in https://kubevirt.io/api-reference/master/definitions.html#_v1_network.
kubeconfig raw	Path to an existing Kubernetes config file. If not provided, and no other connection options are provided, the Kubernetes client will attempt to load the default configuration file from ~/.kube/config. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_KUBECONFIG environment variable. The kubernetes configuration can be provided as dictionary. This feature requires a python kubernetes client version >= 17.17.0. Added in version 2.2.0.
labels dictionary	Labels are key/value pairs that are attached to virtual machines. Labels are intended to be used to specify identifying attributes of virtual machines that are meaningful and relevant to users, but do not directly imply semantics to the core system. Labels can be used to organize and to select subsets of virtual machines. Labels can be attached to virtual machines at creation time and subsequently added and modified at any time. More on labels that are used for internal implementation https://kubevirt.io/user-guide/#/misc/annotations_and_labels
machine_type string	QEMU machine type is the actual chipset of the virtual machine.
memory string	The amount of memory to be requested by virtual machine. For example 1024Mi.
memory_limit string	The maximum memory to be used by virtual machine. For example 1024Mi.
merge_type list / elements=string	Whether to override the default patch merge approach with a specific type. If more than one merge type is given, the merge types will be tried in order. Defaults to `['strategic-merge', 'merge']`, which is ideal for using the same parameters on resource kinds that combine Custom Resources and built-in resources, as Custom Resource Definitions typically aren’t updatable by the usual strategic merge. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/run-application/update-api-object-kubectl-patch/#use-a-json-merge-patch-to-update-a-deployment Choices: json merge strategic-merge
name string / required	Name of the virtual machine preset.
namespace string / required	Namespace where the virtual machine preset exists.
no_proxy string added in 2.3.0 of kubernetes.core	The comma separated list of hosts/domains/IP/CIDR that shouldn’t go through proxy. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_NO_PROXY environment variable. Please note that this module does not pick up typical proxy settings from the environment (e.g. NO_PROXY). This feature requires kubernetes>=19.15.0. When kubernetes library is less than 19.15.0, it fails even no_proxy set in correct. example value is “localhost,.local,.example.com,127.0.0.1,127.0.0.0/8,10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16”
node_affinity dictionary	Describes vm affinity scheduling rules e.g. co-locate this vm in the same node, zone, etc. as some other vms
hard dictionary	If the affinity requirements specified by this field are not met at scheduling time, the vm will not be scheduled onto the node. If the affinity requirements specified by this field cease to be met at some point during vm execution (e.g. due to an update), the system may or may not try to eventually evict the vm from its node.
soft dictionary	The scheduler will prefer to schedule vms to nodes that satisfy the affinity expressions specified by this field, but it may choose a node that violates one or more of the expressions. The node that is most preferred is the one with the greatest sum of weights, i.e. for each node that meets all of the scheduling requirements (resource request, requiredDuringScheduling affinity expressions, etc.), compute a sum by iterating through the elements of this field and adding `weight` to the sum if the node matches the corresponding match_expressions; the nodes with the highest sum are the most preferred.
password string	Provide a password for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PASSWORD environment variable. Please read the description of the `username` option for a discussion of when this option is applicable.
persist_config boolean	Whether or not to save the kube config refresh tokens. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PERSIST_CONFIG environment variable. When the k8s context is using a user credentials with refresh tokens (like oidc or gke/gcloud auth), the token is refreshed by the k8s python client library but not saved by default. So the old refresh token can expire and the next auth might fail. Setting this flag to true will tell the k8s python client to save the new refresh token to the kube config file. Default to false. Please note that the current version of the k8s python client library does not support setting this flag to True yet. The fix for this k8s python library is here: https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python-base/pull/169 Choices: no yes
proxy string	The URL of an HTTP proxy to use for the connection. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY environment variable. Please note that this module does not pick up typical proxy settings from the environment (e.g. HTTP_PROXY).
proxy_headers dictionary added in 2.0.0 of kubernetes.core	The Header used for the HTTP proxy. Documentation can be found here https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/urllib3.util.html?highlight%3Dproxy_headers#urllib3.util.make_headers.
basic_auth string	Colon-separated username:password for basic authentication header. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY_HEADERS_BASIC_AUTH environment.
proxy_basic_auth string	Colon-separated username:password for proxy basic authentication header. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY_HEADERS_PROXY_BASIC_AUTH environment.
user_agent string	String representing the user-agent you want, such as foo/1.0. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY_HEADERS_USER_AGENT environment.
resource_definition aliases: definition, inline dictionary	A partial YAML definition of the object being created/updated. Here you can define Kubernetes resource parameters not covered by this module’s parameters. NOTE: resource_definition has lower priority than module parameters. If you try to define e.g. metadata.namespace here, that value will be ignored and namespace used instead.
selector dictionary	Selector is a label query over a set of virtual machine preset.
smbios_uuid string	In order to provide a consistent view on the virtualized hardware for the guest OS, the SMBIOS UUID can be set.
state string	Create or delete virtual machine presets. Choices: present ← (default) absent
subdomain string	If specified, the fully qualified virtual machine hostname will be hostname.subdomain.namespace.svc.cluster_domain. If not specified, the virtual machine will not have a domain name at all. The DNS entry will resolve to the virtual machine, no matter if the virtual machine itself can pick up a hostname.
tablets list / elements=string	Specify tablets to be used as input devices
username string	Provide a username for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_USERNAME environment variable. Please note that this only works with clusters configured to use HTTP Basic Auth. If your cluster has a different form of authentication (e.g. OAuth2 in OpenShift), this option will not work as expected and you should look into the community.okd.k8s_auth module, as that might do what you need.
validate_certs aliases: verify_ssl boolean	Whether or not to verify the API server’s SSL certificates. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_VERIFY_SSL environment variable. Choices: no yes
wait boolean	True if the module should wait for the resource to get into desired state. Choices: no yes ← (default)
wait_sleep string	Number of seconds to sleep between checks. Default: 5
wait_timeout integer	The amount of time in seconds the module should wait for the resource to get into desired state. Default: 120

Notes 

Note

To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when validate_certs is True, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via ca_cert or in the kubeconfig file.
