Synopsis ¶

Add or Remove images from the OpenStack Image Repository

Requirements ¶

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

openstacksdk
python >= 2.7

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
api_timeout		How long should the socket layer wait before timing out for API calls. If this is omitted, nothing will be passed to the requests library.
auth		Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud's auth plugin strategy. For the default password plugin, this would contain auth_url, username, password, project_name and any information about domains if the cloud supports them. For other plugins, this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided or OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.
auth_type		Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here and the contents of the auth parameter should be updated accordingly.
availability_zone		Ignored. Present for backwards compatibility
cacert		A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests.
cert		A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction.
checksum (added in 2.5)		The checksum of the image
cloud		Named cloud or cloud config to operate against. If cloud is a string, it references a named cloud config as defined in an OpenStack clouds.yaml file. Provides default values for auth and auth_type. This parameter is not needed if auth is provided or if OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present. If cloud is a dict, it contains a complete cloud configuration like would be in a section of clouds.yaml.
container_format	Default: bare	The format of the container
disk_format	Default: qcow2	The format of the disk that is getting uploaded
filename		The path to the file which has to be uploaded
id (added in 2.4)		The Id of the image
interface (added in 2.3)	Choices: public ← internal admin	Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog. aliases: endpoint_type
is_public bool	Choices: no yes ←	Whether the image can be accessed publicly. Note that publicizing an image requires admin role by default.
kernel		The name of an existing kernel image that will be associated with this image
key		A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction.
min_disk		The minimum disk space (in GB) required to boot this image
min_ram		The minimum ram (in MB) required to boot this image
name required		Name that has to be given to the image
owner		The owner of the image
properties	Default: {}	Additional properties to be associated with this image
ramdisk		The name of an existing ramdisk image that will be associated with this image
region_name		Name of the region.
state	Choices: present ← absent	Should the resource be present or absent.
timeout	Default: 180	How long should ansible wait for the requested resource.
verify bool	Choices: no yes	Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified. Before 2.3 this defaulted to True. aliases: validate_certs
wait bool	Choices: no yes ←	Should ansible wait until the requested resource is complete.

Notes ¶

Note

The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.
Auth information is driven by os-client-config, which means that values can come from a yaml config file in /etc/ansible/openstack.yaml, /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml or ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml, then from standard environment variables, then finally by explicit parameters in plays. More information can be found at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/os-client-config

Examples ¶

# Upload an image from a local file named cirros-0.3.0-x86_64-disk.img
- os_image:
    auth:
      auth_url: https://identity.example.com
      username: admin
      password: passme
      project_name: admin
    name: cirros
    container_format: bare
    disk_format: qcow2
    state: present
    filename: cirros-0.3.0-x86_64-disk.img
    kernel: cirros-vmlinuz
    ramdisk: cirros-initrd
    properties:
      cpu_arch: x86_64
      distro: ubuntu
