For any volume, a volume size less than 1 will be interpreted as a request not to create the volume. |
Examples
- ec2_lc: name: special image_id: ami-XXX key_name: default security_groups: ['group', 'group2' ] instance_type: t1.micro volumes: - device_name: /dev/sda1 volume_size: 100 device_type: io1 iops: 3000 delete_on_termination: true
Notes
Note
Amazon ASG Autoscaling Launch Configurations are immutable once created, so modifying the configuration after it is changed will not modify the launch configuration on AWS. You must create a new config and assign it to the ASG instead.
Note
If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence AWS_URL or EC2_URL, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_KEY or EC2_SECRET_KEY, AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN, AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION
Note
Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See http://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
Note
AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
