port_range_min

integer

Specifies the start port number. The value ranges from 1 to 65535. The value cannot be greater than the port_range_max value. An empty value indicates all ports.

project

The name of the Tenant (Identity v2) or Project (Identity v3). (currently only project names are supported, and not project IDs).

protocol

string

Specifies the protocol type. The value can be icmp, tcp, or udp. If the parameter is left blank, the security group supports all protocols.

region

string

The region to which the project belongs.

remote_group_id

string

Specifies the ID of the peer security group. The value is exclusive with parameter remote_ip_prefix.

remote_ip_prefix

string

Specifies the remote IP address. If the access control direction is set to egress, the parameter specifies the source IP address. If the access control direction is set to ingress, the parameter specifies the destination IP address. The value can be in the CIDR format or IP addresses. The parameter is exclusive with parameter remote_group_id.

security_group_id

string / required

Specifies the security group rule ID, which uniquely identifies the security group rule.

Support

Description

check_mode

Support: full

Can run in check_mode and return changed status prediction without modifying target.

diff_mode

Support: none

Will return details on what has changed (or possibly needs changing in check_mode), when in diff mode.

Notes

Note

  • If id option is provided, it takes precedence over security_group_id for security group rule selection.

  • security_group_id is used for security group rule selection. If more than one security group rule with this options exists, execution is aborted.

  • No parameter support updating. If one of option is changed, the module will create a new resource.

  • 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.
