os_image_facts - Retrieve facts about an image within OpenStack.

New in version 2.0.

Synopsis

  • Retrieve facts about a image image from OpenStack.

Requirements (on host that executes module)

  • python >= 2.6
  • python >= 2.7
  • shade

Options

parameter required default choices comments
api_timeout
 no None
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
 no
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 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
 no password
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.
availability_zone
 no
Ignored. Present for backwards compatibility
cacert
 no None
A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests.
cert
 no None
A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction.
cloud
 no
Named cloud to operate against. 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.
endpoint_type
 no public
  • public
  • internal
  • admin
Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog.
image
 yes
Name or ID of the image
key
 no None
A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction.
region_name
 no
Name of the region.
timeout
 no 180
How long should ansible wait for the requested resource.
validate_certs
 no
Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified. Before 2.3 this defaulted to True.
aliases: verify
wait
 no yes
  • yes
  • no
Should ansible wait until the requested resource is complete.

Notes

Note

  • Facts are placed in the openstack variable.
  • The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.
  • 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

Status
