openstack.cloud.router module – Create or delete routers from OpenStack

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.router.

Synopsis 

Create or Delete routers from OpenStack. Although Neutron allows routers to share the same name, this module enforces name uniqueness to be more user friendly.

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.
enable_snat boolean	Enable Source NAT (SNAT) attribute. Choices: `false` `true`
external_fixed_ips list / elements=dictionary	The IP address parameters for the external gateway network. Each is a dictionary with the subnet name or ID (subnet) and the IP address to assign on the subnet (ip_address). If no IP is specified, one is automatically assigned from that subnet.
ip_address aliases: ip string	The fixed IP address to attempt to allocate.
subnet_id aliases: subnet string / required	The subnet to attach the IP address to.
external_gateway_info dictionary	Information about the router’s external gateway
enable_snat boolean	Unique name or ID of the external gateway network. required interfaces or enable_snat are provided. Choices: `false` `true`
external_fixed_ips list / elements=dictionary	The IP address parameters for the external gateway network. Each is a dictionary with the subnet name or ID (subnet) and the IP address to assign on the subnet (ip_address). If no IP is specified, one is automatically assigned from that subnet.
ip_address aliases: ip string	The fixed IP address to attempt to allocate.
subnet_id aliases: subnet string / required	The subnet to attach the IP address to.
network string	Unique name or ID of the external gateway network. required interfaces or enable_snat are provided.
interface aliases: endpoint_type string	Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog. Choices: `"admin"` `"internal"` `"public"` ← (default)
interfaces list / elements=any	List of subnets to attach to the router internal interface. Default gateway associated with the subnet will be automatically attached with the router’s internal interface. In order to provide an ip address different from the default gateway,parameters are passed as dictionary with keys as network name or ID (net), subnet name or ID (subnet) and the IP of port (portip) from the network. User defined portip is often required when a multiple router need to be connected to a single subnet for which the default gateway has been already used.
is_admin_state_up aliases: admin_state_up boolean	Desired admin state of the created or existing router. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
name string / required	Name to be give to the router. This router attribute cannot be updated.
network string	Unique name or ID of the external gateway network. Required if external_fixed_ips or enable_snat are provided. This router attribute cannot be updated.
project string	Unique name or ID of the project. This router attribute cannot be updated.
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	Indicate desired state of the resource 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)

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/
