Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
api_timeout
integer
How long should the socket layer wait before timing out for API calls. If this is omitted, nothing will be passed to the requests library.
auth
dictionary
Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud's auth plugin strategy. For the default password plugin, this would contain auth_url, username, password, project_name and any information about domains (for example, os_user_domain_name or os_project_domain_name) if the cloud supports them. For other plugins, this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided or OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.
auth_type
string
Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here and the contents of the auth parameter should be updated accordingly.
auto_public_ip
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Allocate a public IP address and associate with the VIP automatically.
ca_cert
string
A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests.

aliases: cacert
client_cert
string
A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction.

aliases: cert
client_key
string
A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction.

aliases: key
cloud
raw
Named cloud or cloud config to operate against. If cloud is a string, it references a named cloud config as defined in an OpenStack clouds.yaml file. Provides default values for auth and auth_type. This parameter is not needed if auth is provided or if OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present. If cloud is a dict, it contains a complete cloud configuration like would be in a section of clouds.yaml.
delete_public_ip
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
When state=absent and this option is true, any public IP address associated with the VIP will be deleted along with the load balancer.
interface
string
    Choices:
  • admin
  • internal
  • public ←
Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog.

aliases: endpoint_type
name
string / required
Name that has to be given to the load balancer
public_ip_address
string
Public IP address associated with the VIP.
region_name
string
Name of the region.
state
string
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
Should the resource be present or absent.
timeout
integer
Default:
180
The amount of time the module should wait.
validate_certs
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified.
Before Ansible 2.3 this defaulted to yes.

aliases: verify
vip_address
string
IP address of the load balancer virtual IP.
vip_subnet
string
The name or id of the subnet for the virtual IP of the load balancer. One of vip_network, vip_subnet, or vip_port must be specified for creation.
wait
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
If the module should wait for the load balancer to be created or deleted.

Notes

Note

  • The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.

  • Auth information is driven by openstacksdk, which means that values can come from a yaml config file in /etc/ansible/openstack.yaml, /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml or ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml, then from standard environment variables, then finally by explicit parameters in plays. More information can be found at https://docs.openstack.org/openstacksdk/

Examples

# Create a load balancer by specifying the VIP subnet.
- opentelekomcloud.cloud.loadbalancer:
    state: present
    name: my_lb
    vip_subnet: my_subnet
    timeout: 150

# Create a load balancer together with its sub-resources in the 'all in one'
# way. A public IP address is also allocated to the load balancer VIP.
- opentelekomcloud.cloud.loadbalancer:
    name: ELB
    state: present
    vip_subnet: default_subnet
    auto_public_ip: yes
    wait: yes
    timeout: 600

# Delete a load balancer(and all its related resources)
- opentelekomcloud.cloud.loadbalancer:
    state: absent
    name: my_lb

# Delete a load balancer(and all its related resources) together with the
# public IP address(if any) attached to it.
- opentelekomcloud.cloud.loadbalancer:
    state: absent
    name: my_lb
    delete_public_ip: yes
