Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
access_logs_enabled boolean |
| Whether or not to enable access logs. When set, access_logs_s3_bucket must also be set. | ||
access_logs_s3_bucket string | The name of the S3 bucket for the access logs. The bucket must exist in the same region as the load balancer and have a bucket policy that grants Elastic Load Balancing permission to write to the bucket. Required if access logs in Amazon S3 are enabled. When set, access_logs_enabled must also be set. | |||
access_logs_s3_prefix string | The prefix for the log location in the S3 bucket. If you don't specify a prefix, the access logs are stored in the root of the bucket. Cannot begin or end with a slash. | |||
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. | ||
deletion_protection boolean |
| Indicates whether deletion protection for the ELB is enabled. Defaults to false . | ||
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 | |||

For the complete documentation of possible Conditions and Actions please see the boto3 documentation: https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/elbv2.html#ElasticLoadBalancingv2.Client.create_rule | |||
Actions list / elements=string | Actions to apply if all of the rule's conditions are met. | |||
Conditions list / elements=string | Conditions which must be met for the actions to be applied. | |||
Priority integer | The rule priority. | |||

wait_timeout integer | The time in seconds to use in conjunction with wait. |
Notes
Note
- Listeners are matched based on port. If a listener’s port is changed then a new listener will be created.
- Listener rules are matched based on priority. If a rule’s priority is changed then a new rule will be created.
- 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
