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 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 |
|
The id of the elastic IP allocation. If this is not passed and the eip_address is not passed. An EIP is generated for this NAT Gateway. |
|
The location of a CA Bundle to use when validating SSL certificates. The |
|
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. |
|
Optional unique token to be used during create to ensure idempotency. When specifying this option, ensure you specify the eip_address parameter as well otherwise any subsequent runs will fail. |
|
Indicates whether the NAT gateway supports public or private connectivity. Choices:
|
|
Use a The Choices:
|
|
When default_create=True and eip_address has been set, but not yet allocated, the NAT gateway is created and a new EIP is automatically allocated. When default_create=False and eip_address has been set, but not yet allocated, the module will fail. If eip_address has not been set, this parameter has no effect. Choices:
|
|
The elastic IP address of the EIP you want attached to this NAT Gateway. If this is not passed and the allocation_id is not passed, an EIP is generated for this NAT Gateway. |
|
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 The ec2_url and s3_url aliases have been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2024-12-01. Support for the |
|
if a NAT Gateway exists already in the subnet_id, then do not create a new one. Choices:
|
|
The id AWS dynamically allocates to the NAT Gateway on creation. This is required when the absent option is present. |
|
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. |
|
If purge_tags=true and tags is set, existing tags will be purged from the resource to match exactly what is defined by tags parameter. If the tags parameter is not set then tags will not be modified, even if purge_tags=True. Tag keys beginning with Choices:

The AWS region to use. For global services such as IAM, Route53 and CloudFront, region is ignored. The See the Amazon AWS documentation for more information http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region. The Support for the |
|
Deallocate the EIP from the VPC. Option is only valid with the absent state. You should use this with the wait option. Since you can not release an address while a delete operation is happening. Choices:
|
|
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 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.

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 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 |
|
Ensure NAT Gateway is present or absent. Choices:
|
|
The id of the subnet to create the NAT Gateway in. This is required with the present option. |
|
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:
|
|
Wait for operation to complete before returning. Choices:
|
|
How many seconds to wait for an operation to complete before timing out. Default: |
Notes
Note
Support for tags and purge_tags was added in release 1.4.0.
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.
