Parameter |
Comments |
|---|---|
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. |
|
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. |
|
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:
|
|
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. |
|
The fail_on_delete option does nothing and will be removed after 2022-06-01 Choices:

Notes
Note
If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence
AWS_URLorEC2_URL,AWS_PROFILEorAWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE,AWS_ACCESS_KEY_IDorAWS_ACCESS_KEYorEC2_ACCESS_KEY,AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEYorAWS_SECRET_KEYorEC2_SECRET_KEY,AWS_SECURITY_TOKENorEC2_SECURITY_TOKEN,AWS_REGIONorEC2_REGION,AWS_CA_BUNDLEWhen 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_REGIONorEC2_REGIONcan be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be defined in the configuration files.
