python >= 2.6
cs >= 0.6.10

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
account		Account the ISO is related to.
api_http_method	Choices: get post	HTTP method used to query the API endpoint. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_METHOD` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes. Fallback value is `get` if not specified.
api_key		API key of the CloudStack API. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_KEY` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
api_region	Default: cloudstack	Name of the ini section in the `cloustack.ini` file. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_REGION` env variable is considered.
api_secret		Secret key of the CloudStack API. If not set, the `CLOUDSTACK_SECRET` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
api_timeout		HTTP timeout in seconds. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_TIMEOUT` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes. Fallback value is 10 seconds if not specified.
api_url		URL of the CloudStack API e.g. https://cloud.example.com/client/api. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
bootable		Register the ISO to be bootable. Only used if `state` is present.
checksum		The MD5 checksum value of this ISO. If set, we search by checksum instead of name.
cross_zones bool (added in 2.4)	Choices: no ← yes	Whether the ISO should be synced or removed across zones. Mutually exclusive with `zone`.
display_text (added in 2.4)		Display text of the ISO. If not specified, `name` will be used.
domain		Domain the ISO is related to.
is_dynamically_scalable		Register the ISO having XS/VMWare tools installed inorder to support dynamic scaling of VM cpu/memory. Only used if `state` is present.
is_featured		Register the ISO to be featured. Only used if `state` is present.
is_public		Register the ISO to be publicly available to all users. Only used if `state` is present.
is_ready bool	Choices: no ← yes	This flag is used for searching existing ISOs. If set to `yes`, it will only list ISO ready for deployment e.g. successfully downloaded and installed. Recommended to set it to `no`.
iso_filter	Choices: featured self ← selfexecutable sharedexecutable executable community	Name of the filter used to search for the ISO.
name required		Name of the ISO.
os_type		Name of the OS that best represents the OS of this ISO. If the iso is bootable this parameter needs to be passed. Required if `state` is present.
poll_async bool (added in 2.3)	Choices: no yes ←	Poll async jobs until job has finished.
project		Name of the project the ISO to be registered in.
state	Choices: present ← absent	State of the ISO.
tags (added in 2.4)		List of tags. Tags are a list of dictionaries having keys `key` and `value`. To delete all tags, set a empty list e.g. `tags: []`. aliases: tag
url		URL where the ISO can be downloaded from. Required if `state` is present.
zone		Name of the zone you wish the ISO to be registered or deleted from. If not specified, first zone found will be used.

Notes ¶

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.
