Note
Ansible uses the cs
library’s configuration method if credentials are not provided by the arguments api_url
, api_key
, api_secret
. Configuration is read from several locations, in the following order. The CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT
, CLOUDSTACK_KEY
, CLOUDSTACK_SECRET
and CLOUDSTACK_METHOD
. CLOUDSTACK_TIMEOUT
environment variables. A CLOUDSTACK_CONFIG
environment variable pointing to an .ini
file. A cloudstack.ini
file in the current working directory. A .cloudstack.ini
file in the users home directory. Optionally multiple credentials and endpoints can be specified using ini sections in cloudstack.ini
. Use the argument api_region
to select the section name, default section is cloudstack
. See https://github.com/exoscale/cs for more information.
A detailed guide about cloudstack modules can be found in the CloudStack Cloud Guide.
This module supports check mode.
