authentication_url		Keystone authentication URL of the openstack provider. Applicable for those types: os_image, os_volume and network. aliases: auth_url
data_center		Name of the data center where provider should be attached. Applicable for those type: os_volume.
description		Description of the external provider.

Notes

Note

In order to use this module you have to install oVirt Python SDK. To ensure it’s installed with correct version you can create the following task: pip: name=ovirt-engine-sdk-python version=4.0.0

Examples

# Examples don't contain auth parameter for simplicity,
# look at ovirt_auth module to see how to reuse authentication:

# Add image external provider:
- ovirt_external_provider:
    name: image_provider
    type: os_image
    url: http://10.34.63.71:9292
    username: admin
    password: 123456
    tenant: admin
    auth_url: http://10.34.63.71:35357/v2.0/

# Add foreman provider:
- ovirt_external_provider:
    name: foreman_provider
    type: foreman
    url: https://foreman.example.com
    username: admin
    password: 123456

# Add external network provider for OVN:
- ovirt_external_provider:
    name: ovn_provider
    type: network
    network_type: external
    url: http://1.2.3.4:9696

# Remove image external provider:
- ovirt_external_provider:
    state: absent
    name: image_provider
    type: os_image
