Synopsis

The S3 module is great, but it is very slow for a large volume of files- even a dozen will be noticeable. In addition to speed, it handles globbing, inclusions/exclusions, mime types, expiration mapping, recursion, cache control and smart directory mapping.

Requirements

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

boto
boto3 >= 1.4.4
botocore
python >= 2.6
python-dateutil

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
bucket string / required		Bucket name.
cache_control string		Cache-Control header set on uploaded objects. Directives are separated by commas.
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.
delete boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Remove remote files that exist in bucket but are not present in the file root.
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
exclude string	Default: ".*"	Shell pattern-style file matching. Used after include to remove files (for instance, skip "*.txt") For multiple patterns, comma-separate them.
file_change_strategy string	Choices: force checksum date_size ←	Difference determination method to allow changes-only syncing. Unlike rsync, files are not patched- they are fully skipped or fully uploaded. date_size will upload if file sizes don't match or if local file modified date is newer than s3's version checksum will compare etag values based on s3's implementation of chunked md5s. force will always upload all files.
file_root path / required		File/directory path for synchronization. This is a local path. This root path is scrubbed from the key name, so subdirectories will remain as keys.
include string	Default: "*"	Shell pattern-style file matching. Used before exclude to determine eligible files (for instance, only "*.gif") For multiple patterns, comma-separate them.
key_prefix string		In addition to file path, prepend s3 path with this prefix. Module will add slash at end of prefix if necessary.
mime_map dictionary		Dict entry from extension to MIME type. This will override any default/sniffed MIME type. For example `{".txt": "application/text", ".yml": "application/text"}`
mode string	Choices: push ←	sync direction.
permission string	Choices: private public-read public-read-write authenticated-read aws-exec-read bucket-owner-read bucket-owner-full-control	Canned ACL to apply to synced files. Changing this ACL only changes newly synced files, it does not trigger a full reupload.
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
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
retries string		The retries option does nothing and will be removed after 2022-06-01
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
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no yes ←	When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.

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

  community.aws.s3_sync:
    bucket: tedder
    file_root: roles/s3/files/

- name: all the options
  community.aws.s3_sync:
    bucket: tedder
    file_root: roles/s3/files
    mime_map:
      .yml: application/text
      .json: application/text
    key_prefix: config_files/web
    file_change_strategy: force
    permission: public-read
    cache_control: "public, max-age=31536000"
    include: "*"
    exclude: "*.txt,.*"
