New in version 2.6.
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| api_timeout integer | 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 | 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 (for example, os_user_domain_name or os_project_domain_name) 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 string | 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 - | Availability zone in which to create the snapshot. | |
| ca_cert string | A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests. aliases: cacert | |
| client_cert string | A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction. aliases: cert | |
| client_key string | A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction. aliases: key | |
| cloud raw | 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. | |
| interface string |
| Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog. aliases: endpoint_type |
| meta - / required | A list of key value pairs that should be provided as a metadata to the instance or a string containing a list of key-value pairs. Eg: meta: "key1=value1,key2=value2" | |
| region_name string | Name of the region. | |
| server - / required | Name of the instance to update the metadata aliases: name | |
| state - |
| Should the resource be present or absent. |
| timeout integer | Default: 180 | How long should ansible wait for the requested resource. |
| validate_certs boolean |
| Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified. Before Ansible 2.3 this defaulted to yes.aliases: verify |
| wait boolean |
| Should ansible wait until the requested resource is complete. |

OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.# Creates or updates hostname=test1 as metadata of the server instance vm1

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:
| Key | Returned | Description |
|---|---|---|
| metadata dictionary | success | The metadata of compute instance after the change Sample: {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'} |
| server_id string | success | The compute instance id where the change was made Sample: 324c4e91-3e03-4f62-9a4d-06119a8a8d16 |
