vpc		Name of the VPC the `vm` is related to.
zone		Name of the zone in which the instance is deployed in. If not set, default zone is 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.

# Note: If vm_guest_ip is not set, you will get a new IP address on every run.
- name: Assign an IP to the default NIC of the VM
  local_action:
    module: cs_nic
    vm: customer_xy

- name: Remove a specific IP from the default NIC
