domain		Domain the VPN customer gateway is related to.
dpd bool	Choices: no yes	Enable Dead Peer Detection. Disabled per default by the API on creation if not set.
esp_lifetime		Lifetime in seconds of phase 2 VPN connection. Defaulted to 3600 by the API on creation if not set.
esp_policy		ESP policy in the format e.g. `aes256-sha1;modp1536`. Required if `state=present`.
force_encap bool	Choices: no yes	Force encapsulation for NAT traversal. Disabled per default by the API on creation if not set.
gateway		Public IP address of the gateway. Required if `state=present`.
ike_lifetime		Lifetime in seconds of phase 1 VPN connection. Defaulted to 86400 by the API on creation if not set.
ike_policy		IKE policy in the format e.g. `aes256-sha1;modp1536`. Required if `state=present`.
ipsec_psk		IPsec Preshared-Key. Cannot contain newline or double quotes. Required if `state=present`.

project		Name of the project the VPN gateway is related to.
state	Choices: present ← absent	State of the VPN customer gateway.

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.
