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.

The profile option is mutually exclusive with the aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token options.

purge_subscriptions

boolean

Whether to purge any subscriptions not listed here. NOTE: AWS does not allow you to purge any PendingConfirmation subscriptions, so if any exist and would be purged, they are silently skipped. This means that somebody could come back later and confirm the subscription. Sorry. Blame Amazon.

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

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.

Default: []

attributes

string

added in community.aws 4.1.0

Attributes of subscription. Only supports RawMessageDelievery for SQS endpoints.

Default: {}

endpoint

string / required

Choices:

  • "standard" ← (default)

  • "fifo"

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:

  • true ← (default)

Notes

Note

  • Support for tags and purge_tags was added in release 5.3.0.

  • 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.
