Note

This module is part of the openstack.cloud collection (version 2.3.2).

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 openstack.cloud. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: openstack.cloud.object_container.

Synopsis

  • Create, update and delete a Swift container.

Requirements

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

  • python >= 3.6

  • openstacksdk >= 1.0.0

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

api_timeout

integer

How long should the socket layer wait before timing out for API calls. If this is omitted, nothing will be passed to the requests library.

auth

dictionary

Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud’s auth plugin strategy. For the default password plugin, this would contain auth_url, username, password, project_name and any information about domains (for example, user_domain_name or project_domain_name) if the cloud supports them. For other plugins, this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided or OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.

auth_type

string

Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here and the contents of the auth parameter should be updated accordingly.

ca_cert

aliases: cacert

string

A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests.

client_cert

aliases: cert

string

A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction.

client_key

aliases: key

string

A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction.

cloud

any

Named cloud or cloud config to operate against. If cloud is a string, it references a named cloud config as defined in an OpenStack clouds.yaml file. Provides default values for auth and auth_type. This parameter is not needed if auth is provided or if OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present. If cloud is a dict, it contains a complete cloud configuration like would be in a section of clouds.yaml.

delete_metadata_keys

aliases: keys

list / elements=string

Keys from metadata to be deleted.

metadata has precedence over delete_metadata_keys: If any key is present in both options, then it will be created or updated, not deleted.

Metadata keys are case-insensitive.

delete_with_all_objects

boolean

Whether the container should be deleted recursively, i.e. including all of its objects.

If delete_with_all_objects is set to false, an attempt to delete a container which contains objects will fail.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

interface

aliases: endpoint_type

string

Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog.

Choices:

  • "admin"

  • "internal"

  • "public" ← (default)

metadata

dictionary

Key value pairs to be set as metadata on the container.

Both custom and system metadata can be set.

Custom metadata are keys and values defined by the user.

metadata is the same as setting properties in openstackclient with openstack container set --property ....

Metadata keys are case-insensitive.

name

aliases: container

string / required

Name (and ID) of a Swift container.

read_ACL

string

The ACL that grants read access.

For example, use .r:*,.rlistings for public access and '' for private access.

region_name

string

Name of the region.

sdk_log_level

string

Log level of the OpenStackSDK

Choices:

  • "INFO" ← (default)

  • "DEBUG"

sdk_log_path

string

Path to the logfile of the OpenStackSDK. If empty no log is written

state

string

Whether the object should be present or absent.

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

timeout

integer

How long should ansible wait for the requested resource.

Default: 180

validate_certs

aliases: verify

boolean

Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified.

Before Ansible 2.3 this defaulted to true.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

wait

boolean

Should ansible wait until the requested resource is complete.

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

write_ACL

string

The ACL that grants write access.

Notes

Note

  • The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.

  • Auth information is driven by openstacksdk, which means that values can come from a yaml config file in /etc/ansible/openstack.yaml, /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml or ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml, then from standard environment variables, then finally by explicit parameters in plays. More information can be found at https://docs.openstack.org/openstacksdk/

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key

Description

container

dictionary

Dictionary describing the Swift container.

Returned: On success when state is present.

bytes

integer

The total number of bytes that are stored in Object Storage for the container.

Returned: success

Sample: 5449

bytes_used

integer

The count of bytes used in total.

Returned: success

Sample: 5449

content_type

string

The MIME type of the list of names.

Returned: success

count

integer

The number of objects in the container.

Returned: success

Sample: 1

history_location

string

Enables versioning on the container.

Returned: success

id

string

The ID of the container. Equals name.

Returned: success

Sample: "otc"

if_none_match

string

In combination with Expect: 100-Continue, specify an If-None-Match: * header to query whether the server already has a copy of the object before any data is sent.

Returned: success

is_content_type_detected

boolean

If set to true, Object Storage guesses the content type based on the file extension and ignores the value sent in the Content-Type header, if present.

Returned: success

is_newest

boolean

If set to True, Object Storage queries all replicas to return the most recent one. If you omit this header, Object Storage responds faster after it finds one valid replica. Because setting this header to True is more expensive for the back end, use it only when it is absolutely needed.

Returned: success

meta_temp_url_key

string

The secret key value for temporary URLs. If not set, this header is not returned by this operation.

Returned: success

meta_temp_url_key_2

string

A second secret key value for temporary URLs. If not set, this header is not returned by this operation.

Returned: success

name

string

The name of the container.

Returned: success

Sample: "otc"

object_count

integer

The number of objects.

Returned: success

Sample: 1

read_ACL

string

The ACL that grants read access. If not set, this header is not returned by this operation.

Returned: success

storage_policy

string

Storage policy used by the container. It is not possible to change policy of an existing container.

Returned: success

sync_key

string

The secret key for container synchronization. If not set, this header is not returned by this operation.

Returned: success

sync_to

string

The destination for container synchronization. If not set, this header is not returned by this operation.

Returned: success

timestamp

string

The timestamp of the transaction.

Returned: success

versions_location

string

Enables versioning on this container. The value is the name of another container. You must UTF-8-encode and then URL-encode the name before you include it in the header. To disable versioning, set the header to an empty string.

Returned: success

write_ACL

string

The ACL that grants write access. If not set, this header is not returned by this operation.

Returned: success
