Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|
aws_access_key string | AWS access key. If not set then the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is used. If profile is set this parameter is ignored. Passing the aws_access_key and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01. aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key | ||
aws_ca_bundle path | The location of a CA Bundle to use when validating SSL certificates. Only used for boto3 based modules. Note: The CA Bundle is read 'module' side and may need to be explicitly copied from the controller if not run locally. | ||
aws_config dictionary | A dictionary to modify the botocore configuration. Parameters can be found at https://botocore.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/config.html#botocore.config.Config. Only the 'user_agent' key is used for boto modules. See http://boto.cloudhackers.com/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html#boto for more boto configuration. | ||
aws_secret_key string | AWS secret key. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_KEY, or EC2_SECRET_KEY environment variable is used. If profile is set this parameter is ignored. Passing the aws_secret_key and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01. aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key | ||
debug_botocore_endpoint_logs boolean |
| Use a botocore.endpoint logger to parse the unique (rather than total) "resource:action" API calls made during a task, outputing the set to the resource_actions key in the task results. Use the aws_resource_action callback to output to total list made during a playbook. The ANSIBLE_DEBUG_BOTOCORE_LOGS environment variable may also be used. | |
description string | Description of the security group. Required when state is present . | ||
ec2_url string | Url to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required. Must be specified for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL environment variable, if any, is used. aliases: aws_endpoint_url, endpoint_url | ||
group_id string | Id of group to delete (works only with absent). One of and only one of name or group_id is required. | ||
name string | Name of the security group. One of and only one of name or group_id is required. Required if state=present. | ||
profile string | Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0. Using profile will override aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token and support for passing them at the same time as profile has been deprecated.
aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token will be made mutually exclusive with profile after 2022-06-01. aliases: aws_profile | ||
purge_rules boolean |
"true" | Purge existing rules on security group that are not found in rules. | |
purge_rules_egress boolean |
"true" | Purge existing rules_egress on security group that are not found in rules_egress. | |
purge_tags boolean |
| If yes, 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. | |
region string | The AWS region to use. If not specified then the value of the AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION environment variable, if any, is used. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region
aliases: aws_region, ec2_region | ||
rules list / elements=dictionary | List of firewall inbound rules to enforce in this group (see example). If none are supplied, no inbound rules will be enabled. Rules list may include its own name in `group_name`. This allows idempotent loopback additions (e.g. allow group to access itself). Rule sources list support was added in version 2.4. This allows to define multiple sources per source type as well as multiple source types per rule. Prior to 2.4 an individual source is allowed. In version 2.5 support for rule descriptions was added. | ||
cidr_ip string | The IPv4 CIDR range traffic is coming from. You can specify only one of cidr_ip, cidr_ipv6, ip_prefix, group_id and group_name. | ||

to_port integer | The end of the range of ports that traffic is coming from. A value of -1 indicates all ports. | ||
rules_egress list / elements=dictionary | List of firewall outbound rules to enforce in this group (see example). If none are supplied, a default all-out rule is assumed. If an empty list is supplied, no outbound rules will be enabled. Rule Egress sources list support was added in version 2.4. In version 2.5 support for rule descriptions was added. | ||

Notes
Note
- If a rule declares a group_name and that group doesn’t exist, it will be automatically created. In that case, group_desc should be provided as well. The module will refuse to create a depended-on group without a description.
- Preview diff mode support is added in version 2.7.
- If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence
AWS_URL
orEC2_URL
,AWS_PROFILE
orAWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE
,AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
orAWS_ACCESS_KEY
orEC2_ACCESS_KEY
,AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
orAWS_SECRET_KEY
orEC2_SECRET_KEY
,AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN
orEC2_SECURITY_TOKEN
,AWS_REGION
orEC2_REGION
,AWS_CA_BUNDLE
- Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
-
AWS_REGION
orEC2_REGION
can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
