Notes
Note
Support for tags and purge_tags was added in release 2.0.0.
In release 5.0.0 the s3_url parameter was merged into the endpoint_url parameter, s3_url remains as an alias for endpoint_url.
For Walrus endpoint_url should be set to the FQDN of the endpoint with neither scheme nor path.
Support for the
S3_URLenvironment variable has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2024-12-01, please use the endpoint_url parameter or theAWS_URLenvironment variable.Support for creating and deleting buckets was removed in release 6.0.0.
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.
