user string / required	The user name to login with (currently only user names are supported, and not user IDs).
user_data string	Specifies the user data to be injected during the ECS creation process. Text, text files, and gzip files can be injected. The content to be injected must be encoded with base64. The maximum size of the content to be injected (before encoding) is 32 KB. For Linux ECSs, this parameter does not take effect when adminPass is used.
vpc_id string / required	Specifies the ID of the VPC to which the ECS belongs.

Note

For authentication, you can set identity_endpoint using the ANSIBLE_HWC_IDENTITY_ENDPOINT env variable.
For authentication, you can set user using the ANSIBLE_HWC_USER env variable.
For authentication, you can set password using the ANSIBLE_HWC_PASSWORD env variable.
For authentication, you can set domain using the ANSIBLE_HWC_DOMAIN env variable.
For authentication, you can set project using the ANSIBLE_HWC_PROJECT env variable.
For authentication, you can set region using the ANSIBLE_HWC_REGION env variable.
Environment variables values will only be used if the playbook values are not set.
