 Default:
None
Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
purge_subscriptions Default:
yes
Whether to purge any subscriptions not listed here. NOTE: AWS does not allow you to purge any PendingConfirmation subscriptions, so if any exist and would be purged, they are silently skipped. This means that somebody could come back later and confirm the subscription. Sorry. Blame Amazon.

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: access_token
state
    Choices:
  • absent
  • present ←
Whether to create or destroy an SNS topic
subscriptions Default:
[]
List of subscriptions to apply to the topic. Note that AWS requires subscriptions to be confirmed, so you will need to confirm any new subscriptions.
validate_certs
(added in 1.5)
    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_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
