Examples

# Note: These examples do not set authentication details, see the AWS Guide for details.

# Basic creation example:
- name: Set up Kinesis Stream with 10 shards and wait for the stream to become ACTIVE
  kinesis_stream:
    name: test-stream
    shards: 10
    wait: yes
    wait_timeout: 600
  register: test_stream

# Basic creation example with tags:
- name: Set up Kinesis Stream with 10 shards, tag the environment, and wait for the stream to become ACTIVE
  kinesis_stream:
    name: test-stream
    shards: 10
    tags:
      Env: development
    wait: yes
    wait_timeout: 600
  register: test_stream

# Basic creation example with tags and increase the retention period from the default 24 hours to 48 hours:
- name: Set up Kinesis Stream with 10 shards, tag the environment, increase the retention period and wait for the stream to become ACTIVE
  kinesis_stream:
    name: test-stream
    retention_period: 48
    shards: 10
    tags:
      Env: development
    wait: yes
    wait_timeout: 600
  register: test_stream

# Basic delete example:
- name: Delete Kinesis Stream test-stream and wait for it to finish deleting.
  kinesis_stream:
    name: test-stream
    state: absent
    wait: yes
    wait_timeout: 600
  register: test_stream

 when state == present. int 24
stream_arn
The amazon resource identifier
 when state == present. string arn:aws:kinesis:east-side:123456789:stream/test-stream
stream_name
The name of the Kinesis Stream.
 when state == present. string test-stream
stream_status
The current state of the Kinesis Stream.
 when state == present. string ACTIVE

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_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
  • Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See http://boto.readthedocs.org/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
