Synopsis ¶

Gather facts about ec2 VPC subnets in AWS

Requirements ¶

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

boto
boto3
botocore
python >= 2.6

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
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
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.
filters		A dict of filters to apply. Each dict item consists of a filter key and a filter value. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeSubnets.html for possible filters.
profile (added in 1.6)		Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
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
subnet_ids (added in 2.5)		A list of subnet IDs to gather facts for. aliases: subnet_id
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.

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

# Gather facts about all VPC subnets
- ec2_vpc_subnet_facts:

# Gather facts about a particular VPC subnet using ID
- ec2_vpc_subnet_facts:
    subnet_ids: subnet-00112233

# Gather facts about any VPC subnet with a tag key Name and value Example
- ec2_vpc_subnet_facts:
    filters:
      "tag:Name": Example

# Gather facts about any VPC subnet within VPC with ID vpc-abcdef00
- ec2_vpc_subnet_facts:
    filters:
      vpc-id: vpc-abcdef00

# Gather facts about a set of VPC subnets, publicA, publicB and publicC within a
# VPC with ID vpc-abcdef00 and then use the jinja map function to return the
# subnet_ids as a list.

- ec2_vpc_subnet_facts:
    filters:
      vpc-id: vpc-abcdef00
      "tag:Name": "{{ item }}"
  with_items:
    - publicA

Return Values ¶

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

Key				Returned	Description
subnets complex				success	Returns an array of complex objects as described below.
	tags dict			always	A dict of tags associated with the Subnet.
	subnet_id string			always	The ID of the Subnet.
	assign_ipv6_address_on_creation boolean			always	True/False depending on attribute setting for IPv6 address assignment.
	default_for_az boolean			always	True if this is the default subnet for AZ.
	state string			always	The state of the subnet.
	ipv6_cidr_block_association_set complex			always	An array of IPv6 cidr block association set information.
		association_id string		always	The association ID
		ipv6_cidr_block string		always	The IPv6 CIDR block that is associated with the subnet.
		ipv6_cidr_block_state dict		always	A hash/dict that contains a single item. The state of the cidr block association.
			state string	always	The CIDR block association state.
	availability_zone string			always	The availability zone where the subnet exists.
	vpc_id string			always	The ID of the VPC .
	cidr_block string			always	The IPv4 CIDR block assigned to the subnet.
	available_ip_address_count string			always	Count of available IPs in subnet.
	id string			always	The ID of the Subnet (for backwards compatibility).
	map_public_ip_on_launch boolean			always	True/False depending on attribute setting for public IP mapping.
