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. |
|
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. |
|
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. |

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:
|
|
An optional human-readable string describing the contents and purpose of the new AMI. |
|
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. |
|
Whether or not the destination snapshots of the copied AMI should be encrypted. Choices:
|
|
KMS key id used to encrypt the image. If not specified, uses default EBS Customer Master Key (CMK) for your account. |
|
The name of the new AMI to copy. (As of 2.3 the default is Default: |
|
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. |
|
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 |

The ID of the AMI in source region that should be copied. |
|
The source region the AMI should be copied from. |
|
Whether to use tags if the source AMI already exists in the target region. If this is set, and all tags match in an existing AMI, the AMI will not be copied again. Choices:
|
|
A hash/dictionary of tags to add to the new copied AMI: |
|
When set to “no”, SSL certificates will not be validated for communication with the AWS APIs. Choices:

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
orEC2_REGION
can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be defined in the configuration files.
