Look up route table by either tags or by route_table_id. If lookup=tag and tags is not specified then no lookup for an existing route table is performed and a new route table will be created. When using lookup=tag, multiple matches being found will result in a failure and no changes will be made. To change the tags of a route table use lookup=id. vpc_id must be specified when lookup=tag. Choices:
|
|
A named AWS profile to use for authentication. See the AWS documentation for more information about named profiles https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-profiles.html.

|
Purge existing subnets that are not found in subnets. Ignored unless the subnets option is supplied. Choices:

|
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 Choices:

List of routes in the route table. Routes are specified as dicts containing the keys The value of If gateway_id is specified, you can refer to the VPC’s IGW by using the value Routes are required for present states. Default: |

AWS secret access key. 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 The secret_key and profile options are mutually exclusive. The aws_secret_access_key alias was added in release 5.1.0 for consistency with the AWS botocore SDK.

The The security_token and profile options are mutually exclusive. Aliases aws_session_token and session_token were added in release 3.2.0, with the parameter being renamed from security_token to session_token in release 6.0.0.

Create or destroy the VPC route table. Choices:
|
|
An array of subnets to add to this route table. Subnets may be specified by either subnet ID, Name tag, or by a CIDR such as ‘10.0.0.0/24’ or ‘fd00::/8’. |
|
A dictionary representing the tags to be applied to the resource. If the tags parameter is not set then tags will not be modified. |
|
When set to Setting validate_certs=false is strongly discouraged, as an alternative, consider setting aws_ca_bundle instead. Choices:
|
|
VPC ID of the VPC in which to create the route table. Required when state=present or lookup=tag. |
Notes
Note
Tags are used to uniquely identify route tables within a VPC when the route_table_id is not supplied.
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.
