Parameters

Parameter	Comments
annotations dictionary added in community.okd 2.1.0	Specify the Route Annotations. A set of key: value pairs.
api_key string	Token used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_API_KEY environment variable.
ca_cert aliases: ssl_ca_cert path	Path to a CA certificate used to authenticate with the API. The full certificate chain must be provided to avoid certificate validation errors. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_SSL_CA_CERT environment variable.
client_cert aliases: cert_file path	Path to a certificate used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CERT_FILE environment variable.
client_key aliases: key_file path	Path to a key file used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_KEY_FILE environment variable.
context string	The name of a context found in the config file. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CONTEXT environment variable.
force boolean	If set to yes, and state is present, an existing object will be replaced. Choices: false ← (default) true
host string	Provide a URL for accessing the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_HOST environment variable.
hostname string	The hostname for the Route.
impersonate_groups list / elements=string added in kubernetes.core 2.3.0	Group(s) to impersonate for the operation. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_IMPERSONATE_GROUPS environment. Example: Group1,Group2
impersonate_user string added in kubernetes.core 2.3.0	Username to impersonate for the operation. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_IMPERSONATE_USER environment.
kubeconfig any	Path to an existing Kubernetes config file. If not provided, and no other connection options are provided, the Kubernetes client will attempt to load the default configuration file from ~/.kube/config. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_KUBECONFIG environment variable. Multiple Kubernetes config file can be provided using separator ‘;’ for Windows platform or ‘:’ for others platforms. The kubernetes configuration can be provided as dictionary. This feature requires a python kubernetes client version >= 17.17.0. Added in version 2.2.0.
labels dictionary	Specify the labels to apply to the created Route. A set of key: value pairs.
name string	The desired name of the Route to be created. Defaults to the value of service
namespace string / required	The namespace of the resource being targeted. The Route will be created in this namespace as well.
no_proxy string added in kubernetes.core 2.3.0	The comma separated list of hosts/domains/IP/CIDR that shouldn’t go through proxy. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_NO_PROXY environment variable. Please note that this module does not pick up typical proxy settings from the environment (e.g. NO_PROXY). This feature requires kubernetes>=19.15.0. When kubernetes library is less than 19.15.0, it fails even no_proxy set in correct. example value is “localhost,.local,.example.com,127.0.0.1,127.0.0.0/8,10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16”
password string	Provide a password for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PASSWORD environment variable. Please read the description of the username option for a discussion of when this option is applicable.
path string	The path for the Route
persist_config boolean	Whether or not to save the kube config refresh tokens. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PERSIST_CONFIG environment variable. When the k8s context is using a user credentials with refresh tokens (like oidc or gke/gcloud auth), the token is refreshed by the k8s python client library but not saved by default. So the old refresh token can expire and the next auth might fail. Setting this flag to true will tell the k8s python client to save the new refresh token to the kube config file. Default to false. Please note that the current version of the k8s python client library does not support setting this flag to True yet. The fix for this k8s python library is here: https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python-base/pull/169 Choices: false true
port string	Name or number of the port the Route will route traffic to.
proxy string	The URL of an HTTP proxy to use for the connection. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY environment variable. Please note that this module does not pick up typical proxy settings from the environment (e.g. HTTP_PROXY).
proxy_headers dictionary added in kubernetes.core 2.0.0	The Header used for the HTTP proxy. Documentation can be found here https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/urllib3.util.html?highlight=proxy_headers#urllib3.util.make_headers.
basic_auth string	Colon-separated username:password for basic authentication header. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY_HEADERS_BASIC_AUTH environment.
proxy_basic_auth string	Colon-separated username:password for proxy basic authentication header. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY_HEADERS_PROXY_BASIC_AUTH environment.
user_agent string	String representing the user-agent you want, such as foo/1.0. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY_HEADERS_USER_AGENT environment.
service aliases: svc string	The name of the service to expose. Required when state is not absent.
state string	Determines if an object should be created, patched, or deleted. When set to present, an object will be created, if it does not already exist. If set to absent, an existing object will be deleted. If set to present, an existing object will be patched, if its attributes differ from those specified using resource_definition or src. Choices: "absent" "present" ← (default)
termination string	The termination type of the Route. If left empty no termination type will be set, and the route will be insecure. When set to insecure tls will be ignored. Choices: "edge" "passthrough" "reencrypt" "insecure" ← (default)
tls dictionary	TLS configuration for the newly created route. Only used when termination is set.
ca_certificate string	Path to a CA certificate file on the target host. Not supported when termination is set to passthrough.
certificate string	Path to a certificate file on the target host. Not supported when termination is set to passthrough.
destination_ca_certificate string	Path to a CA certificate file used for securing the connection. Only used when termination is set to reencrypt. Defaults to the Service CA.
insecure_policy string	Sets the InsecureEdgeTerminationPolicy for the Route. Not supported when termination is set to reencrypt. When termination is set to passthrough, only redirect is supported. If not provided, insecure traffic will be disallowed. Choices: "allow" "redirect" "disallow" ← (default)
key string	Path to a key file on the target host. Not supported when termination is set to passthrough.
username string	Provide a username for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_USERNAME environment variable. Please note that this only works with clusters configured to use HTTP Basic Auth. If your cluster has a different form of authentication (e.g. OAuth2 in OpenShift), this option will not work as expected and you should look into the community.okd.k8s_auth module, as that might do what you need.
validate_certs aliases: verify_ssl boolean	Whether or not to verify the API server’s SSL certificates. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_VERIFY_SSL environment variable. Choices: false true
wait boolean	Whether to wait for certain resource kinds to end up in the desired state. By default the module exits once Kubernetes has received the request. Implemented for state=present for Deployment, DaemonSet and Pod, and for state=absent for all resource kinds. For resource kinds without an implementation, wait returns immediately unless wait_condition is set. Choices: false ← (default) true
wait_condition dictionary	Specifies a custom condition on the status to wait for. Ignored if wait is not set or is set to False.
reason string	The value of the reason field in your desired condition For example, if a Deployment is paused, The Progressing type will have the DeploymentPaused reason. The possible reasons in a condition are specific to each resource type in Kubernetes. See the API documentation of the status field for a given resource to see possible choices.
status string	The value of the status field in your desired condition. For example, if a Deployment is paused, the Progressing type will have the Unknown status. Choices: "True" ← (default) "False" "Unknown"
type string	The type of condition to wait for. For example, the Pod resource will set the Ready condition (among others). Required if you are specifying a wait_condition. If left empty, the wait_condition field will be ignored. The possible types for a condition are specific to each resource type in Kubernetes. See the API documentation of the status field for a given resource to see possible choices.
wait_sleep integer	Number of seconds to sleep between checks. Default: 5
wait_timeout integer	How long in seconds to wait for the resource to end up in the desired state. Ignored if wait is not set. Default: 120
wildcard_policy string	The wildcard policy for the hostname. Currently only Subdomain is supported. If not provided, the default of None will be used. Choices: "Subdomain"

Notes

Note

• To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when validate_certs is True, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via ca_cert or in the kubeconfig file.
