  • botocore
  • python >= 2.6

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

location
The location of the link aggregation group.
min_links
The minimum number of physical connections that must be operational for the LAG itself to be operational.
name

num_connections
The number of connections with which to intialize the link aggregation group.
profile

When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.
wait
bool
    Choices:

  • yes
Whether or not to wait for the operation to complete. May be useful when waiting for virtual interfaces to be deleted. May modify the time of waiting with wait_timeout.
wait_timeout Default:
120
The duration in seconds to wait if wait is True.

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 https://boto.readthedocs.io/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
