os_security_group_rule - Add/Delete rule from an existing security group

New in version 2.0.

Synopsis

  • Add or Remove rule from an existing security group

Requirements (on host that executes module)

  • 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.
direction
 no ingress
  • egress
  • ingress
The direction in which the security group rule is applied. Not all providers support egress.
endpoint_type
 no public
  • public
  • internal
  • admin
Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog.
ethertype
 no IPv4
  • IPv4
  • IPv6
Must be IPv4 or IPv6, and addresses represented in CIDR must match the ingress or egress rules. Not all providers support IPv6.
key
 no None
A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction.
port_range_max
 no None
Ending port
port_range_min
 no None
Starting port
protocol
 no None
  • tcp
  • udp
  • icmp
  • 112
  • None
IP protocols TCP UDP ICMP 112 (VRRP)
region_name
 no
Name of the region.
remote_group
 no
Name or ID of the Security group to link (exclusive with remote_ip_prefix)
remote_ip_prefix
 no
Source IP address(es) in CIDR notation (exclusive with remote_group)
security_group
 yes
Name or ID of the security group
state
 no present
  • present
  • absent
Should the resource be present or absent.
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.

Examples

# Create a security group rule
- os_security_group_rule:
    cloud: mordred
    security_group: foo
    protocol: tcp
    port_range_min: 80
    port_range_max: 80
    remote_ip_prefix: 0.0.0.0/0

# Create a security group rule for ping
- os_security_group_rule:
    cloud: mordred
    security_group: foo
    protocol: icmp
    remote_ip_prefix: 0.0.0.0/0

# Another way to create the ping rule
- os_security_group_rule:
    cloud: mordred
    security_group: foo
    protocol: icmp
    port_range_min: -1
    port_range_max: -1
    remote_ip_prefix: 0.0.0.0/0

# Create a TCP rule covering all ports
- os_security_group_rule:
    cloud: mordred
    security_group: foo
    protocol: tcp
    port_range_min: 1
    port_range_max: 65535
    remote_ip_prefix: 0.0.0.0/0

# Another way to create the TCP rule above (defaults to all ports)
- os_security_group_rule:
    cloud: mordred
    security_group: foo
    protocol: tcp
    remote_ip_prefix: 0.0.0.0/0

# Create a rule for VRRP with numbered protocol 112
- os_security_group_rule:
    security_group: loadbalancer_sg
    protocol: 112
    remote_group: loadbalancer-node_sg

 state == present int 8000
remote_ip_prefix
The remote IP prefix to be associated with this security group rule.
 state == present string 0.0.0.0/0
id
Unique rule UUID.
 state == present string

Notes

Note

  • 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

This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
