openstack.cloud.compute_flavor module – Manage OpenStack compute flavors

Note

This module is part of the openstack.cloud collection (version 1.8.0).

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 openstack.cloud.

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

Synopsis

  • Add or remove flavors from OpenStack.

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.

disk

integer

Size of local disk, in GB.

Default: 0

ephemeral

integer

Ephemeral space size, in GB.

Default: 0

extra_specs

dictionary

Metadata dictionary

flavorid

string

ID for the flavor. This is optional as a unique UUID will be assigned if a value is not specified.

Default: “auto”

interface

aliases: endpoint_type

string

Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog.

Choices:

  • admin

  • internal

  • public ← (default)

is_public

boolean

Make flavor accessible to the public.

Choices:

  • no

  • yes ← (default)

name

string / required

Flavor name.

ram

integer

Amount of memory, in MB.

region_name

string

Name of the region.

rxtx_factor

float

RX/TX factor.

Default: 1.0

state

string

Indicate desired state of the resource. When state is ‘present’, then ram, vcpus, and disk are all required. There are no default values for those parameters.

Choices:

  • present ← (default)

  • absent

swap

integer

Swap space size, in MB.

Default: 0

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

vcpus

integer

Number of virtual CPUs.

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/

Examples

- name: "Create 'tiny' flavor with 1024MB of RAM, 1 virtual CPU, and 10GB of local disk, and 10GB of ephemeral."
  openstack.cloud.compute_flavor:
    cloud: mycloud
    state: present
    name: tiny
    ram: 1024
    vcpus: 1
    disk: 10
    ephemeral: 10

- name: "Delete 'tiny' flavor"
  openstack.cloud.compute_flavor:
    cloud: mycloud
    state: absent
    name: tiny

- name: Create flavor with metadata
  openstack.cloud.compute_flavor:
    cloud: mycloud
    state: present
    name: tiny
    ram: 1024
    vcpus: 1
    disk: 10
    extra_specs:
      "quota:disk_read_iops_sec": 5000
      "aggregate_instance_extra_specs:pinned": false
