sns_topic - Manages AWS SNS topics and subscriptions

New in version 2.0.

Synopsis

The sns_topic module allows you to create, delete, and manage subscriptions for AWS SNS topics.

Requirements (on host that executes module)

  • boto
  • python >= 2.6

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
delivery_policy
 no None
Delivery policy to apply to the SNS topic
display_name
 no None
Display name of the topic
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.
name
 yes
The name or ARN of the SNS topic to converge
policy
 no None
Policy to apply to the SNS topic
profile
(added in 1.6)
 no
Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
purge_subscriptions
 no True
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.
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
 no present
  • absent
  • present
Whether to create or destroy an SNS topic
subscriptions
 no
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)
 no yes
  • yes
  • no
When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.

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
