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

# Note: These examples do not set authentication details, see the AWS Guide for details.

# Create pipeline
- data_pipeline:
    name: test-dp
    region: us-west-2
    objects: "{{pipelineObjects}}"
    parameters: "{{pipelineParameters}}"
    values: "{{pipelineValues}}"
    tags:
      key1: val1
      key2: val2
    state: present

# Example populating and activating a pipeline that demonstrates two ways of providing pipeline objects
- data_pipeline:
  name: test-dp
  objects:
    - "id": "DefaultSchedule"
      "name": "Every 1 day"
      "fields":
        - "key": "period"
          "stringValue": "1 days"
        - "key": "type"
          "stringValue": "Schedule"
        - "key": "startAt"
          "stringValue": "FIRST_ACTIVATION_DATE_TIME"
    - "id": "Default"
      "name": "Default"
      "fields": [ { "key": "resourceRole", "stringValue": "my_resource_role" },
                  { "key": "role", "stringValue": "DataPipelineDefaultRole" },
                  { "key": "pipelineLogUri", "stringValue": "s3://my_s3_log.txt" },
                  { "key": "scheduleType", "stringValue": "cron" },
                  { "key": "schedule", "refValue": "DefaultSchedule" },
                  { "key": "failureAndRerunMode", "stringValue": "CASCADE" } ]
  state: active

# Activate pipeline
- data_pipeline:
    name: test-dp
    region: us-west-2
    state: active

# Delete pipeline
- data_pipeline:
    name: test-dp
    region: us-west-2
    state: absent

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key Returned Description
changed
bool
 always
whether the data pipeline has been modified

Sample:
{'changed': True}
result
dict
 always
Contains the data pipeline data (data_pipeline) and a return message (msg). If the data pipeline exists data_pipeline will contain the keys description, name, pipeline_id, state, tags, and unique_id. If the data pipeline does not exist then data_pipeline will be an empty dict. The msg describes the status of the operation.
