New in version 2.8.
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
---|---|---|
api_key string | Token used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_API_KEY environment variable. | |
ca_cert path | Path to a CA certificate used to authenticate with the API. The full certificate chain must be provided to avoid certificate validation errors. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_SSL_CA_CERT environment variable. aliases: ssl_ca_cert | |
client_cert path | Path to a certificate used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CERT_FILE environment variable. aliases: cert_file | |
client_key path | Path to a key file used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_KEY_FILE environment variable. aliases: key_file | |
context string | The name of a context found in the config file. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CONTEXT environment variable. | |
default_disk dictionary | The goal of default disk is to define what kind of disk is supported by the OS mainly in terms of bus (ide, scsi, sata, virtio, ...) The default_disk parameter define configuration overlay for disks that will be applied on top of disks during virtual machine creation to define global compatibility and/or performance defaults defined here.This is parameter can be used only when kubevirt addon is installed on your openshift cluster. | |
default_network dictionary | The goal of default network is similar to default_volume and should be used as a template that specifies performance and connection parameters (L2 bridge for example) The default_network parameter define configuration overlay for networks that will be applied on top of networks during virtual machine creation to define global compatibility and/or performance defaults defined here.This is parameter can be used only when kubevirt addon is installed on your openshift cluster. | |
default_nic dictionary | The goal of default network is similar to default_disk and should be used as a template to ensure OS compatibility and performance. The default_nic parameter define configuration overlay for nic that will be applied on top of nics during virtual machine creation to define global compatibility and/or performance defaults defined here.This is parameter can be used only when kubevirt addon is installed on your openshift cluster. | |
default_volume dictionary | The goal of default volume is to be able to configure mostly performance parameters like caches if those are exposed by the underlying volume implementation. The default_volume parameter define configuration overlay for volumes that will be applied on top of volumes during virtual machine creation to define global compatibility and/or performance defaults defined here.This is parameter can be used only when kubevirt addon is installed on your openshift cluster. | |
description string | A description of the template. Include enough detail that the user will understand what is being deployed... and any caveats they need to know before deploying. It should also provide links to additional information, such as a README file." | |
display_name string | A brief, user-friendly name, which can be employed by user interfaces. | |
documentation_url string | A URL referencing further documentation for the template. | |
editable list | Extension for hinting at which elements should be considered editable. List of jsonpath selectors. The jsonpath root is the objects: element of the template. This is parameter can be used only when kubevirt addon is installed on your openshift cluster. | |
force boolean |
| If set to yes , and state is present , an existing object will be replaced. |
host string | Provide a URL for accessing the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_HOST environment variable. | |
icon_class string | An icon to be displayed with your template in the web console. Choose from our existing logo icons when possible. You can also use icons from FontAwesome. Alternatively, provide icons through CSS customizations that can be added to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster that uses your template. You must specify an icon class that exists, or it will prevent falling back to the generic icon. | |
kubeconfig path | Path to an existing Kubernetes config file. If not provided, and no other connection options are provided, the openshift client will attempt to load the default configuration file from ~/.kube/config.json. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_KUBECONFIG environment variable. | |
long_description string | Additional template description. This may be displayed by the service catalog, for example. | |
merge_type list |
| Whether to override the default patch merge approach with a specific type. By default, the strategic merge will typically be used. |
name string / required | Name of the Template object. | |
namespace string / required | Namespace where the Template object exists. | |
objects list | List of any valid API objects, such as a DeploymentConfig, Service, etc. The object will be created exactly as defined here, with any parameter values substituted in prior to creation. The definition of these objects can reference parameters defined earlier. As part of the the list user can pass also VirtualMachine kind. When passing VirtualMachine user must use Ansible structure of the parameters not the Kubernetes API structure. For more information please take a look at kubevirt_vm module and at EXAMPLES section, where you can see example. | |
parameters list | Parameters allow a value to be supplied by the user or generated when the template is instantiated. Then, that value is substituted wherever the parameter is referenced. References can be defined in any field in the objects list field. This is useful for generating random passwords or allowing the user to supply a host name or other user-specific value that is required to customize the template. More information can be found at: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.6/dev_guide/templates.html#writing-parameters
| |
password string | Provide a password for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PASSWORD environment variable. Please read the description of the username option for a discussion of when this option is applicable. | |
provider_display_name string | The name of the person or organization providing the template. | |
proxy - added in 2.9 | The URL of an HTTP proxy to use for the connection. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY environment variable. Please note that this module does not pick up typical proxy settings from the environment (e.g. HTTP_PROXY). | |
state string |
| Determines if an object should be created, patched, or deleted. When set to present , an object will be created, if it does not already exist. If set to absent , an existing object will be deleted. If set to present , an existing object will be patched, if its attributes differ from those specified using resource_definition or src. |
support_url string | A URL where support can be obtained for the template. | |
username string | Provide a username for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_USERNAME environment variable. Please note that this only works with clusters configured to use HTTP Basic Auth. If your cluster has a different form of authentication (e.g. OAuth2 in OpenShift), this option will not work as expected and you should look into the k8s_auth module, as that might do what you need. | |
validate_certs boolean |
| Whether or not to verify the API server's SSL certificates. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_VERIFY_SSL environment variable. aliases: verify_ssl |
version string | Template structure version. This is parameter can be used only when kubevirt addon is installed on your openshift cluster. |
Note
validate_certs
is True, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via ca_cert

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:
Key | Returned | Description |
---|---|---|
