Notes

Note

  • The tenant used must exist before using this module in your playbook. The aci_tenant module can be used for this.
  • By default, if an environment variable <protocol>_proxy is set on the target host, requests will be sent through that proxy. This behaviour can be overridden by setting a variable for this task (see setting the environment), or by using the use_proxy option.
  • HTTP redirects can redirect from HTTP to HTTPS so you should be sure that your proxy environment for both protocols is correct.

Status

This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
