        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.

        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.

        dictionary

        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

         | 
      
       
  | 
      
        
        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.
         | 
     |
| delivery_policy
        
        dictionary
         |

        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  | 
     ||

        string / required

        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.

         | 
      
       
  | 
      
        
        Whether to purge any subscriptions not listed here. NOTE: AWS does not allow you to purge any PendingConfirmation subscriptions, so if any exist and would be purged, they are silently skipped. This means that somebody could come back later and confirm the subscription. Sorry. Blame Amazon.
         | 
     |
| region

        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.

        string / required
         |

Notes
Note
- If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence 
AWS_URLorEC2_URL,AWS_PROFILEorAWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE,AWS_ACCESS_KEY_IDorAWS_ACCESS_KEYorEC2_ACCESS_KEY,AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEYorAWS_SECRET_KEYorEC2_SECRET_KEY,AWS_SECURITY_TOKENorEC2_SECURITY_TOKEN,AWS_REGIONorEC2_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_REGIONorEC2_REGIONcan be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
