ec2_vpc - configure AWS virtual private clouds

New in version 1.4.

Synopsis

Create or terminates AWS virtual private clouds. This module has a dependency on python-boto.

Requirements (on host that executes module)

  • python >= 2.6
  • boto

Options

parameter required default choices comments
aws_access_key
no
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
no
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
no
The cidr block representing the VPC, e.g. 10.0.0.0/16, required when state is 'present'.
dns_hostnames
no yes
  • yes
  • no
toggles the "Enable DNS hostname support for instances" flag
dns_support
no yes
  • yes
  • no
toggles the "Enable DNS resolution" flag
ec2_url
no
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.
instance_tenancy
no default
  • default
  • dedicated
The supported tenancy options for instances launched into the VPC.
internet_gateway
no no
  • yes
  • no
Toggle whether there should be an Internet gateway attached to the VPC
profile
(added in 1.6)
no
Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
region
no
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
resource_tags
(added in 1.6)
yes
A dictionary array of resource tags of the form: { tag1: value1, tag2: value2 }. Tags in this list are used in conjunction with CIDR block to uniquely identify a VPC in lieu of vpc_id. Therefore, if CIDR/Tag combination does not exist, a new VPC will be created. VPC tags not on this list will be ignored. Prior to 1.7, specifying a resource tag was optional.
route_tables
no
A dictionary array of route tables to add of the form: { subnets: [172.22.2.0/24, 172.22.3.0/24,], routes: [{ dest: 0.0.0.0/0, gw: igw},], resource_tags: ... }. Where the subnets list is those subnets the route table should be associated with, and the routes list is a list of routes to be in the table. The special keyword for the gw of igw specifies that you should the route should go through the internet gateway attached to the VPC. gw also accepts instance-ids, interface-ids, and vpc-peering-connection-ids in addition igw. resource_tags is optional and uses dictionary form: { "Name": "public", ... }. This module is currently unable to affect the "main" route table due to some limitations in boto, so you must explicitly define the associated subnets or they will be attached to the main table implicitly. As of 1.8, if the route_tables parameter is not specified, no existing routes will be modified.
security_token
(added in 1.6)
no
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
yes
  • present
  • absent
Create or terminate the VPC
subnets
no
A dictionary array of subnets to add of the form: { cidr: ..., az: ... , resource_tags: ... }. Where az is the desired availability zone of the subnet, but it is not required. Tags (i.e.: resource_tags) is also optional and use dictionary form: { "Environment":"Dev", "Tier":"Web", ...}. All VPC subnets not in this list will be removed as well. As of 1.8, if the subnets parameter is not specified, no existing subnets will be modified.
validate_certs
(added in 1.5)
no yes
  • yes
  • no
When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.
vpc_id
no
A VPC id to terminate when state=absent
wait
no no
  • yes
  • no
wait for the VPC to be in state 'available' before returning
wait_timeout
no 300
how long before wait gives up, in seconds

Examples

# Note: None of these examples set aws_access_key, aws_secret_key, or region.
# It is assumed that their matching environment variables are set.

# Basic creation example:
      ec2_vpc:
        state: present
        cidr_block: 172.23.0.0/16
        resource_tags: { "Environment":"Development" }
        region: us-west-2
# Full creation example with subnets and optional availability zones.
# The absence or presence of subnets deletes or creates them respectively.
      ec2_vpc:
        state: present
        cidr_block: 172.22.0.0/16
        resource_tags: { "Environment":"Development" }
        subnets:
          - cidr: 172.22.1.0/24
            az: us-west-2c
            resource_tags: { "Environment":"Dev", "Tier" : "Web" }
          - cidr: 172.22.2.0/24
            az: us-west-2b
            resource_tags: { "Environment":"Dev", "Tier" : "App" }
          - cidr: 172.22.3.0/24
            az: us-west-2a
            resource_tags: { "Environment":"Dev", "Tier" : "DB" }
        internet_gateway: True
        route_tables:
          - subnets:
              - 172.22.2.0/24
              - 172.22.3.0/24
            routes:
              - dest: 0.0.0.0/0
                gw: igw
          - subnets:
              - 172.22.1.0/24
            routes:
              - dest: 0.0.0.0/0
                gw: igw
        region: us-west-2
      register: vpc

# Removal of a VPC by id
      ec2_vpc:
        state: absent
        vpc_id: vpc-aaaaaaa
        region: us-west-2
If you have added elements not managed by this module, e.g. instances, NATs, etc then
the delete will fail until those dependencies are removed.

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

Note

Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See http://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html

Note

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
