community.aws.elb_instance module – De-registers or registers instances from EC2 ELBs

Note

This module is part of the community.aws collection (version 6.4.0).

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 community.aws. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.aws.elb_instance.

New in community.aws 1.0.0

Synopsis 

This module de-registers or registers an AWS EC2 instance from the ELBs that it belongs to.
Will be marked changed when called only if there are ELBs found to operate on.

Aliases: ec2_elb

Requirements 

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

python >= 3.6
boto3 >= 1.22.0
botocore >= 1.25.0

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
access_key aliases: aws_access_key_id, aws_access_key, ec2_access_key string	AWS access key ID. See the AWS documentation for more information about access tokens https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-sec-cred-types.html#access-keys-and-secret-access-keys. The `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_ACCESS_KEY` or `EC2_ACCESS_KEY` environment variables may also be used in decreasing order of preference. The aws_access_key and profile options are mutually exclusive. The aws_access_key_id alias was added in release 5.1.0 for consistency with the AWS botocore SDK. The ec2_access_key alias has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2024-12-01. Support for the `EC2_ACCESS_KEY` environment variable has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2024-12-01.
aws_ca_bundle path	The location of a CA Bundle to use when validating SSL certificates. The `AWS_CA_BUNDLE` environment variable may also be used.
aws_config dictionary	A dictionary to modify the botocore configuration. Parameters can be found in the AWS documentation https://botocore.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/config.html#botocore.config.Config.
debug_botocore_endpoint_logs boolean	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: `false` ← (default) `true`
ec2_elbs list / elements=string	List of ELB names Required when state=present.
enable_availability_zone boolean	Whether to enable the availability zone of the instance on the target ELB if the availability zone has not already been enabled. If enable_availability_zone=no, the task will fail if the availability zone is not enabled on the ELB. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
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.
instance_id string / required	EC2 Instance ID.
profile aliases: aws_profile string	A named AWS profile to use for authentication. See the AWS documentation for more information about named profiles https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-profiles.html. The `AWS_PROFILE` environment variable may also be used. The profile option is mutually exclusive with the aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token options.
region aliases: aws_region, ec2_region string	The AWS region to use. For global services such as IAM, Route53 and CloudFront, region is ignored. The `AWS_REGION` or `EC2_REGION` environment variables may also be used. See the Amazon AWS documentation for more information http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region. The `ec2_region` alias has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2024-12-01 Support for the `EC2_REGION` environment variable has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2024-12-01.
secret_key aliases: aws_secret_access_key, aws_secret_key, ec2_secret_key string	AWS secret access key. See the AWS documentation for more information about access tokens https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-sec-cred-types.html#access-keys-and-secret-access-keys. The `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `AWS_SECRET_KEY`, or `EC2_SECRET_KEY` environment variables may also be used in decreasing order of preference. The secret_key and profile options are mutually exclusive. The aws_secret_access_key alias was added in release 5.1.0 for consistency with the AWS botocore SDK. The ec2_secret_key alias has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2024-12-01. Support for the `EC2_SECRET_KEY` environment variable has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2024-12-01.
session_token aliases: aws_session_token, security_token, aws_security_token, access_token string	AWS STS session token for use with temporary credentials. See the AWS documentation for more information about access tokens https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-sec-cred-types.html#access-keys-and-secret-access-keys. The `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN`, `AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN` or `EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN` environment variables may also be used in decreasing order of preference. The security_token and profile options are mutually exclusive. Aliases aws_session_token and session_token were added in release 3.2.0, with the parameter being renamed from security_token to session_token in release 6.0.0. The security_token, aws_security_token, and access_token aliases have been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2024-12-01. Support for the `EC2_SECRET_KEY` and `AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN` environment variables has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2024-12-01.
state string / required	Register or deregister the instance. Choices: `"present"` `"absent"`
validate_certs boolean	When set to `false`, SSL certificates will not be validated for communication with the AWS APIs. Setting validate_certs=false is strongly discouraged, as an alternative, consider setting aws_ca_bundle instead. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
wait boolean	Wait for instance registration or deregistration to complete successfully before returning. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
wait_timeout integer	Number of seconds to wait for an instance to change state. If wait_timeout=0 then this module may return an error if a transient error occurs. If non-zero then any transient errors are ignored until the timeout is reached. Ignored when wait=no. Default: `0`

Notes 

Note

The ec2_elbs fact previously set by this module was deprecated in release 2.1.0 and since release 4.0.0 is no longer set.
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.
