community.aws.ec2_eip – manages EC2 elastic IP (EIP) addresses.

Note

This plugin is part of the community.aws collection (version 1.5.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.aws.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.aws.ec2_eip.

New in version 1.0.0: of community.aws

Synopsis

This module can allocate or release an EIP.
This module can associate/disassociate an EIP with instances or network interfaces.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

python >= 2.6
boto

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
allow_reassociation boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Specify this option to allow an Elastic IP address that is already associated with another network interface or instance to be re-associated with the specified instance or interface.
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. If profile is set this parameter is ignored. Passing the aws_access_key and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01. aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key
aws_ca_bundle path		The location of a CA Bundle to use when validating SSL certificates. Only used for boto3 based modules. Note: The CA Bundle is read 'module' side and may need to be explicitly copied from the controller if not run locally.
aws_config dictionary		A dictionary to modify the botocore configuration. Parameters can be found at https://botocore.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/config.html#botocore.config.Config. Only the 'user_agent' key is used for boto modules. See http://boto.cloudhackers.com/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html#boto for more boto configuration.
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. If profile is set this parameter is ignored. Passing the aws_secret_key and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01. aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key
debug_botocore_endpoint_logs boolean	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.
device_id string		The id of the device for the EIP. Can be an EC2 Instance id or Elastic Network Interface (ENI) id. The instance_id alias has been deprecated and will be removed after 2022-12-01. aliases: instance_id
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. aliases: aws_endpoint_url, endpoint_url
in_vpc boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Allocate an EIP inside a VPC or not. Required if specifying an ENI with device_id.
private_ip_address string		The primary or secondary private IP address to associate with the Elastic IP address.
profile string		Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0. Using profile will override aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token and support for passing them at the same time as profile has been deprecated. aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token will be made mutually exclusive with profile after 2022-06-01. aliases: aws_profile
public_ip string		The IP address of a previously allocated EIP. When public_ip=present and device is specified, the EIP is associated with the device. When public_ip=absent and device is specified, the EIP is disassociated from the device. aliases: ip
public_ipv4_pool string		Allocates the new Elastic IP from the provided public IPv4 pool (BYOIP) only applies to newly allocated Elastic IPs, isn't validated when reuse_existing_ip_allowed=true.
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
release_on_disassociation boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Whether or not to automatically release the EIP when it is disassociated.
reuse_existing_ip_allowed boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Reuse an EIP that is not associated to a device (when available), instead of allocating a new one.
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. If profile is set this parameter is ignored. Passing the security_token and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01. aliases: aws_security_token, access_token
state string	Choices: present ← absent	When `state=present`, allocate an EIP or associate an existing EIP with a device. When `state=absent`, disassociate the EIP from the device and optionally release it.
tag_name string		When reuse_existing_ip_allowed=true, supplement with this option to only reuse an Elastic IP if it is tagged with tag_name.
tag_value string		Supplements tag_name but also checks that the value of the tag provided in tag_name matches tag_value.
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no yes ←	When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.
wait_timeout integer		The wait_timeout option does nothing and will be removed after 2022-06-01

Notes

Note

There may be a delay between the time the EIP is assigned and when the cloud instance is reachable via the new address. Use wait_for and pause to delay further playbook execution until the instance is reachable, if necessary.
This module returns multiple changed statuses on disassociation or release. It returns an overall status based on any changes occurring. It also returns individual changed statuses for disassociation and release.
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_PROFILE or AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE, 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, AWS_CA_BUNDLE
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
