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 consumer key as described into https://docs.ovh.com/gb/en/customer/first-steps-with-ovh-api/
 
Examples
- name: Adds or modify the backend '212.1.1.1' to a loadbalancing 'ip-1.1.1.1'
  ovh_ip_loadbalancing:
    name: ip-1.1.1.1
    backend: 212.1.1.1
    state: present
    probe: none
    weight: 8
    endpoint: ovh-eu
    application_key: yourkey
    application_secret: yoursecret
    consumer_key: yourconsumerkey
- name: Removes a backend '212.1.1.1' from a loadbalancing 'ip-1.1.1.1'
  ovh_ip_loadbalancing:
    name: ip-1.1.1.1
    backend: 212.1.1.1
    state: absent
    endpoint: ovh-eu
    application_key: yourkey
    application_secret: yoursecret
    consumer_key: yourconsumerkey
