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.

include_headers boolean	Whether or not to include headers when delivering to the SNS topic. If topic is not specified this will have no impact, but the SES setting is updated even if there is no topic. Choices: false ← (default) true
topic string	The ARN of the topic to send notifications to. If omitted, notifications will not be delivered to a SNS topic.
complaint_notifications dictionary	Setup the SNS topic used to report complaint notifications. If omitted, complaint notifications will not be delivered to a SNS topic. If complaint notifications are not delivered to a SNS topic, feedback_forwarding must be enabled.
include_headers boolean	Whether or not to include headers when delivering to the SNS topic. If topic is not specified this will have no impact, but the SES setting is updated even if there is no topic. Choices: false ← (default) true
topic string	The ARN of the topic to send notifications to. If omitted, notifications will not be delivered to a SNS topic.
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
delivery_notifications dictionary	Setup the SNS topic used to report delivery notifications. If omitted, delivery notifications will not be delivered to a SNS topic.

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.

identity string / required	This is the email address or domain to verify / delete. If this contains an ‘@’ then it will be considered an email. Otherwise it will be considered a domain.

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.
