amazon.aws.ec2_vpc_dhcp_option module – Manages DHCP Options, and can ensure the DHCP options for the given VPC match what’s requested

Note

This module is part of the amazon.aws collection (version 9.1.0).

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 amazon.aws. 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_vpc_dhcp_option.

New in amazon.aws 1.0.0

Synopsis 

This module removes, or creates DHCP option sets, and can associate them to a VPC.
Optionally, a new DHCP Options set can be created that converges a VPC’s existing DHCP option set with values provided.
When dhcp_options_id is provided, the module will 1. remove (with state=’absent’) 2. ensure tags are applied (if state=’present’ and tags are provided 3. attach it to a VPC (if state=’present’ and a vpc_id is provided.
If any of the optional values are missing, they will either be treated as a no-op (i.e., inherit what already exists for the VPC)
To remove existing options while inheriting, supply an empty value (e.g. set ntp_servers to [] if you want to remove them from the VPC’s options)

Requirements 

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

python >= 3.6
boto3 >= 1.28.0
botocore >= 1.31.0

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`
delete_old boolean	Whether to delete the old VPC DHCP option set when associating a new one. This is primarily useful for debugging/development purposes when you want to quickly roll back to the old option set. Note that this setting will be ignored, and the old DHCP option set will be preserved, if it is in use by any other VPC. (Otherwise, AWS will return an error.) Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
dhcp_options_id string	The resource_id of an existing DHCP options set. If this is specified, then it will override other settings, except tags (which will be updated to match)
dns_servers list / elements=string	A list of IP addresses to set the DNS servers for the VPC to.
domain_name string	The domain name to set in the DHCP option sets.
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.
inherit_existing boolean	For any DHCP options not specified in these parameters, whether to inherit them from the options set already applied to `vpc_id`, or to reset them to be empty. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
netbios_name_servers list / elements=string	List of hosts to advertise as NetBIOS servers.
netbios_node_type integer	NetBIOS node type to advertise in the DHCP options. The AWS recommendation is to use 2 (when using netbios name services) https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_DHCP_Options.html
ntp_servers list / elements=string	List of hosts to advertise as NTP servers for the VPC.
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.
purge_tags boolean	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 `aws:` are reserved by Amazon and can not be modified. As such they will be ignored for the purposes of the `purge_tags` parameter. See the Amazon documentation for more information https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws_tagging.html#tag-conventions. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
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	create/assign or remove the DHCP options. If state is set to absent, then a DHCP options set matched either by id, or tags and options will be removed if possible. Choices: `"absent"` `"present"` ← (default)
tags aliases: resource_tags dictionary	A dictionary representing the tags to be applied to the resource. If the `tags` parameter is not set then tags will not be modified.
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)
vpc_id string	VPC ID to associate with the requested DHCP option set. If no VPC ID is provided, and no matching option set is found then a new DHCP option set is created.

Notes 

Note

Support for purge_tags was added in release 2.0.0.
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.
