conditions

dictionary

A list of conditions (expressed as a dict) that you define to assign resources to your backup plans using tags.

When you specify more than one condition in conditions, you only assign the resources that match ALL conditions (using AND logic).

conditions supports string_equals, string_like, string_not_equals, and string_not_like. list_of_tags only supports string_equals.

string_equals

list / elements=dictionary

Filters the values of your tagged resources for only those resources that you tagged with the same value.

Default: []

condition_key

string

The key in a key-value pair.

condition_key in the conditions option must use the AWS resource tag prefix, e.g. ‘aws:ResourceTag/key-name’

condition_value

string

The value in a key-value pair.

string_like

list / elements=dictionary

Filters the values of your tagged resources for matching tag values with the use of a wildcard character (*) anywhere in the string. For example, “prod*” or “*rod*” matches the tag value “production”.

Default: []

condition_key

string

The key in a key-value pair.

condition_key in the conditions option must use the AWS resource tag prefix, e.g. ‘aws:ResourceTag/key-name’

condition_value

string

The value in a key-value pair.

string_not_equals

list / elements=dictionary

Filters the values of your tagged resources for only those resources that you tagged that do not have the same value.

Default: []

condition_key

string

The key in a key-value pair.

condition_key in the conditions option must use the AWS resource tag prefix, e.g. ‘aws:ResourceTag/key-name’

condition_value

string

The value in a key-value pair.

Default: []

condition_key

string

The key in a key-value pair.

condition_key in the conditions option must use the AWS resource tag prefix, e.g. ‘aws:ResourceTag/key-name’

condition_value

string

The value in a key-value pair.

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

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.

iam_role_arn

string

The ARN of the IAM role that Backup uses to authenticate when backing up the target resource.

list_of_tags

list / elements=dictionary

A list of conditions that you define to assign resources to your backup plans using tags.

Condition operators are case sensitive.

When you specify more than one condition in list_of_tags, you assign all resources that match AT LEAST ONE condition (using OR logic).

condition_key

string

The key in a key-value pair.

condition_type

string

An operation applied to a key-value pair used to assign resources to your backup plan.

Condition only supports STRINGEQUALS.

condition_value

string

The value in a key-value pair.

not_resources

list / elements=string

A list of Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) to exclude from a backup plan. The maximum number of ARNs is 500 without wildcards, or 30 ARNs with wildcards. If you need to exclude many resources from a backup plan, consider a different resource selection strategy, such as assigning only one or a few resource types or refining your resource selection using tags.

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.

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.

state

string

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)

Notes

Note

  • 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.
