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.

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.
failure_threshold
- / required
    Choices:
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3 ←
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
  • 7
  • 8
  • 9
  • 10
The number of consecutive health checks that an endpoint must pass or fail for Amazon Route 53 to change the current status of the endpoint from unhealthy to healthy or vice versa.
fqdn
-
Domain name of the endpoint to check. Either this or `ip_address` has to be provided. When both are given the `fqdn` is used in the `Host:` header of the HTTP request.
ip_address
-
IP address of the end-point to check. Either this or `fqdn` has to be provided.
port
-
The port on the endpoint on which you want Amazon Route 53 to perform health checks. Required for TCP checks.
profile
string
Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
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
request_interval
- / required
    Choices:
  • 10
  • 30 ←
The number of seconds between the time that Amazon Route 53 gets a response from your endpoint and the time that it sends the next health-check request.
resource_path
-
The path that you want Amazon Route 53 to request when performing health checks. The path can be any value for which your endpoint will return an HTTP status code of 2xx or 3xx when the endpoint is healthy, for example the file /docs/route53-health-check.html.
Required for all checks except TCP.
The path must begin with a /
Maximum 255 characters.
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
- / required
    Choices:
  • present
  • absent
Specifies the action to take.
string_match
-
If the check type is HTTP_STR_MATCH or HTTP_STR_MATCH, the string that you want Amazon Route 53 to search for in the response body from the specified resource. If the string appears in the first 5120 bytes of the response body, Amazon Route 53 considers the resource healthy.
type
- / required
    Choices:
  • HTTP
  • HTTPS
  • HTTP_STR_MATCH
  • HTTPS_STR_MATCH
  • TCP
The type of health check that you want to create, which indicates how Amazon Route 53 determines whether an endpoint is healthy.

  • 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

# Create a health-check for host1.example.com and use it in record

    resource_path: /
    string_match: "Hello"
    request_interval: 10
    failure_threshold: 2
  register: my_health_check

- route53:
    action: create
    zone: "example.com"
    type: CNAME
    record: "www.example.com"
    value: host1.example.com
    ttl: 30
    # Routing policy
