Note

This plugin is part of the amazon.aws collection (version 1.5.1).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install amazon.aws.

To use it in a playbook, specify: amazon.aws.ec2_vpc_subnet.

New in version 1.0.0: of amazon.aws

Synopsis

Manage subnets in AWS virtual private clouds.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

boto
boto3
python >= 2.6

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
assign_instances_ipv6 boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Specify `yes` to indicate that instances launched into the subnet should be automatically assigned an IPv6 address.
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
az string		The availability zone for the subnet.
cidr string / required		The CIDR block for the subnet. E.g. 192.0.2.0/24.
debug_botocore_endpoint_logs boolean	Choices: no ← yes	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.
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
ipv6_cidr string		The IPv6 CIDR block for the subnet. The VPC must have a /56 block assigned and this value must be a valid IPv6 /64 that falls in the VPC range. Required if assign_instances_ipv6=true
map_public boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Specify `yes` to indicate that instances launched into the subnet should be assigned public IP address by default.
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_tags boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Whether or not to remove tags that do not appear in the tags list.
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
security_token string		AWS STS security token. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN environment variable is used. If profile is set this parameter is ignored. Passing the security_token and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01. aliases: aws_security_token, access_token
state string	Choices: present ← absent	Create or remove the subnet.
tags dictionary		A dict of tags to apply to the subnet. Any tags currently applied to the subnet and not present here will be removed. aliases: resource_tags
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no yes ←	When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.
vpc_id string / required		VPC ID of the VPC in which to create or delete the subnet.
wait boolean	Choices: no yes ←	When wait=true and state=present, module will wait for subnet to be in available state before continuing.
wait_timeout integer	Default: 300	Number of seconds to wait for subnet to become available wait=True.

Notes

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_PROFILE or AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE, 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, 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 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
