Synopsis ¶

Create, delete, or modify a Direct Connect public or private virtual interface.

Requirements ¶

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

boto
boto3
botocore
python >= 2.6

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
address_type		The type of IP address for the BGP peer.
amazon_address		The amazon address CIDR with which to create the virtual interface.
authentication_key		The authentication key for BGP configuration.
aws_access_key		AWS access key. If not set then the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is used. aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key
aws_secret_key		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
bgp_asn	Default: 65000	The autonomous system (AS) number for Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) configuration.
cidr		A list of route filter prefix CIDRs with which to create the public virtual interface.
customer_address		The customer address CIDR with which to create the virtual interface.
ec2_url		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_to_associate		The ID of the link aggrecation group or connection to associate with the virtual interface. aliases: link_aggregation_group_id, connection_id
name		The name of the virtual interface.
profile (added in 1.6)		Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
public bool	Choices: no yes	The type of virtual interface.
region		The AWS region to use. If not specified then the value of the AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION environment variable, if any, is used. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region aliases: aws_region, ec2_region
security_token (added in 1.6)		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	Choices: present absent	The desired state of the Direct Connect virtual interface.
validate_certs bool (added in 1.5)	Choices: no yes ←	When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.
virtual_gateway_id		The virtual gateway ID required for creating a private virtual interface.
virtual_interface_id		The virtual interface ID.
vlan	Default: 100	The VLAN ID.

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

Examples ¶

---
- name: create an association between a LAG and connection
  aws_direct_connect_virtual_interface:
    state: present
    name: "{{ name }}"
    link_aggregation_group_id: LAG-XXXXXXXX
    connection_id: dxcon-XXXXXXXX

- name: remove an association between a connection and virtual interface
  aws_direct_connect_virtual_interface:
    state: absent
    connection_id: dxcon-XXXXXXXX
    virtual_interface_id: dxv-XXXXXXXX
