You need further requirements to be able to use this module,
see Requirements for details.
To use it in a playbook, specify: amazon.aws.ec2_eip.
New in amazon.aws 5.0.0
Synopsis

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 The profile option is mutually exclusive with the aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token options. |

When When Choices:
|
|
When reuse_existing_ip_allowed=true, supplement with this option to only reuse an Elastic IP if it is tagged with tag_name. |
|
Supplements tag_name but also checks that the value of the tag provided in tag_name matches tag_value. |
|
A dictionary representing the tags to be applied to the resource. If the tags parameter is not set then tags will not be modified. |

When set to Setting validate_certs=false is strongly discouraged, as an alternative, consider setting aws_ca_bundle instead. Choices:

Notes
Note
There may be a delay between the time the EIP is assigned and when the cloud instance is reachable via the new address. Use wait_for and pause to delay further playbook execution until the instance is reachable, if necessary.
This module returns multiple changed statuses on disassociation or release. It returns an overall status based on any changes occurring. It also returns individual changed statuses for disassociation and release.
Support for tags and purge_tags was added in release 2.1.0.
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.
