Requirements (on host that executes module)

  • boto
  • boto3
  • python >= 2.6

Options

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
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.
id
 no None
ID of Amazon EFS. Either name or ID required for delete.
name
 no None
Creation Token of Amazon EFS file system. Required for create. Either name or ID required for delete.
performance_mode
 no general_purpose
  • general_purpose
  • max_io
File system's performance mode to use. Only takes effect during creation.
profile
(added in 1.6)
 no
Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
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
  • present
  • absent
Allows to create, search and destroy Amazon EFS file system
tags
 no None
List of tags of Amazon EFS. Should be defined as dictionary In case of 'present' state with list of tags and existing EFS (matched by 'name'), tags of EFS will be replaced with provided data.
targets
 no None
List of mounted targets. It should be a list of dictionaries, every dictionary should include next attributes: - subnet_id - Mandatory. The ID of the subnet to add the mount target in. - ip_address - Optional. A valid IPv4 address within the address range of the specified subnet. - security_groups - Optional. List of security group IDs, of the form 'sg-xxxxxxxx'. These must be for the same VPC as subnet specified This data may be modified for existing EFS using state 'present' and new list of mount targets.
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.
wait
 no no
  • yes
  • no
In case of 'present' state should wait for EFS 'available' life cycle state (of course, if current state not 'deleting' or 'deleted') In case of 'absent' state should wait for EFS 'deleted' life cycle state
wait_timeout
 no
How long the module should wait (in seconds) for desired state before returning. Zero means wait as long as necessary.

Examples

# EFS provisioning
- efs:
    state: present
    name: myTestEFS
    tags:
        name: myTestNameTag
        purpose: file-storage
    targets:
        - subnet_id: subnet-748c5d03
          security_groups: [ "sg-1a2b3c4d" ]

# Modifying EFS data
- efs:
    state: present
    name: myTestEFS
    tags:
        name: myAnotherTestTag
    targets:
        - subnet_id: subnet-7654fdca
          security_groups: [ "sg-4c5d6f7a" ]

# Deleting EFS
- efs:
    state: absent
    name: myTestEFS

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 http://boto.readthedocs.org/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
