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
skip_final_snapshot
bool
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Whether a final DB cluster snapshot is created before the DB cluster is deleted. If this is false final_db_snapshot_identifier must be provided.
snapshot_identifier
The ARN of the DB snapshot to restore from when using creation_source=snapshot.
source_db_instance_identifier
The identifier or ARN of the source DB instance from which to restore when creating a read replica or spinning up a point-in-time DB instance using creation_source=instance. If the source DB is not in the same region this should be an ARN.
source_engine
    Choices:
  • mysql
The identifier for the database engine that was backed up to create the files stored in the Amazon S3 bucket.
source_engine_version
The version of the database that the backup files were created from.
source_region
The region of the DB instance from which the replica is created.
state
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
  • terminated
  • running
  • started
  • stopped
  • rebooted
  • restarted
Whether the snapshot should exist or not. rebooted is not idempotent and will leave the DB instance in a running state and start it prior to rebooting if it was stopped. present will leave the DB instance in the current running/stopped state, (running if creating the DB instance).
state=running and state=started are synonyms, as are state=rebooted and state=restarted. Note - rebooting the instance is not idempotent.
storage_encrypted
bool
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Whether the DB instance is encrypted.
storage_type
    Choices:
  • standard
  • gp2
  • io1
The storage type to be associated with the DB instance. storage_type does not apply to Aurora DB instances.
tags
A dictionary of key value pairs to assign the DB cluster.
tde_credential_arn
The ARN from the key store with which to associate the instance for Transparent Data Encryption. This is supported by Oracle or SQL Server DB instances and may be used in conjunction with storage_encrypted though it might slightly affect the performance of your database.

aliases: transparent_data_encryption_arn
tde_credential_password
The password for the given ARN from the key store in order to access the device.

aliases: transparent_data_encryption_password
timezone
The time zone of the DB instance.
use_latest_restorable_time
bool
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Whether to restore the DB instance to the latest restorable backup time. Only one of use_latest_restorable_time and restore_to_time may be provided.

aliases: restore_from_latest
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.
vpc_security_group_ids
list
A list of EC2 VPC security groups to associate with the DB cluster.
wait
bool
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
Whether to wait for the cluster to be available, stopped, or deleted. At a later time a wait_timeout option may be added. Following each API call to create/modify/delete the instance a waiter is used with a 60 second delay 30 times until the instance reaches the expected state (available/stopped/deleted). The total task time may also be influenced by AWSRetry which helps stabilize if the instance is in an invalid state to operate on to begin with (such as if you try to stop it when it is in the process of rebooting). If setting this to False task retries and delays may make your playbook execution better handle timeouts for major modifications.

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
