Return Values

Common return values are documented here Common Return Values, the following are the fields unique to this module:

name description returned type sample
members A list of members in the server group. success list of strings

Notes

Note

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

Note

Auth information is driven by os-client-config, 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 http://docs.openstack.org/developer/os-client-config
