• python >= 2.6
• boto

Parameters

Examples

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

# Create an ENI. As no security group is defined, ENI will be created in default security group
- ec2_eni:
    private_ip_address: 172.31.0.20
    subnet_id: subnet-xxxxxxxx
    state: present

# Create an ENI and attach it to an instance

    state: present

# Create an ENI with two secondary addresses
- ec2_eni:
    subnet_id: subnet-xxxxxxxx
    state: present
    secondary_private_ip_address_count: 2

# Assign a secondary IP address to an existing ENI
# This will purge any existing IPs
- ec2_eni:
    subnet_id: subnet-xxxxxxxx
    eni_id: eni-yyyyyyyy
    state: present
    secondary_private_ip_addresses:
      - 172.16.1.1

# Remove any secondary IP addresses from an existing ENI
- ec2_eni:
    subnet_id: subnet-xxxxxxxx

    state: present
    secondary_private_ip_address_count: 0

# Destroy an ENI, detaching it from any instance if necessary
- ec2_eni:
    eni_id: eni-xxxxxxx
    force_detach: yes
    state: absent

# Update an ENI
- ec2_eni:
    eni_id: eni-xxxxxxx
    description: "My new description"
    state: present

# Update an ENI identifying it by private_ip_address and subnet_id
- ec2_eni:
    subnet_id: subnet-xxxxxxx
    private_ip_address: 172.16.1.1
    description: "My new description"

# Detach an ENI from an instance
- ec2_eni:
    eni_id: eni-xxxxxxx
    instance_id: None
    state: present

### Delete an interface on termination
# First create the interface
- ec2_eni:
    instance_id: i-xxxxxxx
    device_index: 1
    private_ip_address: 172.31.0.20
    subnet_id: subnet-xxxxxxxx
    state: present
  register: eni

# Modify the interface to enable the delete_on_terminaton flag
- ec2_eni:
    eni_id: "{{ eni.interface.id }}"
    delete_on_termination: true
