Notes
Note
- Uses the python OVH Api https://github.com/ovh/python-ovh. You have to create an application (a key and secret) with a consummer key as described into https://docs.ovh.com/gb/en/customer/first-steps-with-ovh-api/
 
Examples
# Route an IP address 1.1.1.1 to the service ns666.ovh.net
- community.general.ovh_ip_failover:
    name: 1.1.1.1
    service: ns666.ovh.net
    endpoint: ovh-eu
    application_key: yourkey
    application_secret: yoursecret
    consumer_key: yourconsumerkey
- community.general.ovh_ip_failover:
    name: 1.1.1.1
    service: ns666.ovh.net
    endpoint: ovh-eu
    wait_completion: false
    application_key: yourkey
    application_secret: yoursecret
    consumer_key: yourconsumerkey
  register: moved
- community.general.ovh_ip_failover:
    name: 1.1.1.1
    service: ns666.ovh.net
    endpoint: ovh-eu
