New in version 2.0.

Synopsis

Requirements (on host that executes module)

  • python >= 2.6
  • python >= 2.7
  • shade

Options

parameter required default choices comments
api_timeout
no None
    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
    no
      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 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
      no password
        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.
        availability_zone
        no
          Name of the availability zone.
          cacert
          no None
            A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests.
            cert
            no None
              A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction
              cloud
              no
                Named cloud to operate against. 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.
                endpoint_type
                no public
                • public

                filters
                no
                  A dictionary of meta data to use for further filtering. Elements of this dictionary may be additional dictionaries.

                    A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction
                    region_name

                        Name or ID of the subnet
                        timeout
                        no 180
                          How long should ansible wait for the requested resource.
                          validate_certs
                          no True
                            Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified.

                            aliases: verify
                            wait
                            no yes

                            openstack_subnets has all the openstack facts about the subnets always, but can be null complex


                            Notes

                            Note

                            The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.

                            Note

                            Auth information is driven by os-client-config, 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.
