Synopsis

Module manages AWS Config configuration recorder settings

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 string			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 string			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
debug_botocore_endpoint_logs boolean added in 2.8		Choices: no ← yes	Use a botocore.endpoint logger to parse the unique (rather than total) "resource:action" API calls made during a task, outputing the set to the resource_actions key in the task results. Use the aws_resource_action callback to output to total list made during a playbook. The ANSIBLE_DEBUG_BOTOCORE_LOGS environment variable may also be used.
ec2_url string			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.
name - / required			The name of the AWS Config resource.
profile string			Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
recording_group -			Specifies the types of AWS resources for which AWS Config records configuration changes. Required when state=present
	all_supported -		Specifies whether AWS Config records configuration changes for every supported type of regional resource. If you set this option to `true`, when AWS Config adds support for a new type of regional resource, it starts recording resources of that type automatically. If you set this option to `true`, you cannot enumerate a list of `resource_types`.
	include_global_types -		Specifies whether AWS Config includes all supported types of global resources (for example, IAM resources) with the resources that it records. Before you can set this option to `true`, you must set the allSupported option to `true`. If you set this option to `true`, when AWS Config adds support for a new type of global resource, it starts recording resources of that type automatically. The configuration details for any global resource are the same in all regions. To prevent duplicate configuration items, you should consider customizing AWS Config in only one region to record global resources.
	resource_types -		A list that specifies the types of AWS resources for which AWS Config records configuration changes (for example, `AWS::EC2::Instance` or `AWS::CloudTrail::Trail`). Before you can set this option to `true`, you must set the `all_supported` option to `false`.
region string			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
role_arn -			Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role used to describe the AWS resources associated with the account. Required when state=present
security_token string			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
state -		Choices: present ← absent	Whether the Config rule should be present or absent.
validate_certs boolean		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

Examples

- name: Create Configuration Recorder for AWS Config

    recording_group:
        all_supported: true
        include_global_types: true
