Synopsis

Create, modify, and terminate AWS virtual private clouds.

Requirements

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

boto
boto3
botocore
python >= 2.6

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. aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key
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. aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key
cidr_block - / required		The primary CIDR of the VPC. After 2.5 a list of CIDRs can be provided. The first in the list will be used as the primary CIDR and is used in conjunction with the `name` to ensure idempotence.
debug_botocore_endpoint_logs boolean added in 2.8	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.
dhcp_opts_id -		the id of the DHCP options to use for this vpc
dns_hostnames boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Whether to enable AWS hostname support.
dns_support boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Whether to enable AWS DNS support.
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.
multi_ok boolean	Choices: no ← yes	By default the module will not create another VPC if there is another VPC with the same name and CIDR block. Specify this as true if you want duplicate VPCs created.
name - / required		The name to give your VPC. This is used in combination with `cidr_block` to determine if a VPC already exists.
profile string		Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
purge_cidrs boolean added in 2.5	Choices: no ← yes	Remove CIDRs that are associated with the VPC and are not specified in `cidr_block`.
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
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. aliases: access_token
state -	Choices: present ← absent	The state of the VPC. Either absent or present.
tags -		The tags you want attached to the VPC. This is independent of the name value, note if you pass a 'Name' key it would override the Name of the VPC if it's different. aliases: resource_tags
tenancy -	Choices: default ← dedicated	Whether to be default or dedicated tenancy. This cannot be changed after the VPC has been created.
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_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 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
