If your bucket uses the bucket owner enforced setting for S3 Object Ownership, ACLs are disabled and no longer affect permissions.

Choices:

  • "private"

  • "public-read"

  • "public-read-write"

  • "authenticated-read"

aws_ca_bundle

path

The location of a CA Bundle to use when validating SSL certificates.

encryption_key_id

string

KMS master key ID to use for the default encryption.

If not specified then it will default to the AWS provided KMS key.

This parameter is only supported if encryption is aws:kms.

endpoint_url

aliases: ec2_url, aws_endpoint_url, s3_url

string

URL to connect to instead of the default AWS endpoints. While this can be used to connection to other AWS-compatible services the amazon.aws and community.aws collections are only tested against AWS.

The AWS_URL or EC2_URL environment variables may also be used, in decreasing order of preference.

The ec2_url and s3_url aliases have been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2024-12-01.

Support for the EC2_URL environment variable has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2024-12-01.

force

BucketOwnerPreferred - Objects uploaded to the bucket change ownership to the bucket owner if the objects are uploaded with the bucket-owner-full-control canned ACL.

ObjectWriter - The uploading account will own the object if the object is uploaded with the bucket-owner-full-control canned ACL.

This option cannot be used together with a delete_object_ownership definition.

BucketOwnerEnforced has been added in version 3.2.0.

Note: At the end of April 2023 Amazon updated the default setting to BucketOwnerEnforced.

Choices:

  • "BucketOwnerEnforced"

boolean

added in amazon.aws 3.1.0

Whether the bucket name should be validated to conform to AWS S3 naming rules.

On by default, this may be disabled for S3 backends that do not enforce these rules.

See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/bucketnamingrules.html

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

validate_certs

boolean

versioning

boolean

Whether versioning is enabled or disabled (note that once versioning is enabled, it can only be suspended).

Choices:

  • false

  • true

Notes

Note

  • If requestPayment, policy, tagging or versioning operations/API aren’t implemented by the endpoint, module doesn’t fail if each parameter satisfies the following condition. requester_pays is False, policy, tags, and versioning are None.

  • In release 5.0.0 the s3_url parameter was merged into the endpoint_url parameter, s3_url remains as an alias for endpoint_url.

  • For Walrus endpoint_url should be set to the FQDN of the endpoint with neither scheme nor path.

  • Support for the S3_URL environment variable has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2024-12-01, please use the endpoint_url parameter or the AWS_URL environment variable.

  • Caution: For modules, environment variables and configuration files are read from the Ansible ‘host’ context and not the ‘controller’ context. As such, files may need to be explicitly copied to the ‘host’. For lookup and connection plugins, environment variables and configuration files are read from the Ansible ‘controller’ context and not the ‘host’ context.

  • The AWS SDK (boto3) that Ansible uses may also read defaults for credentials and other settings, such as the region, from its configuration files in the Ansible ‘host’ context (typically ~/.aws/credentials). See https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/credentials.html for more information.
