community.okd.openshift_route – Expose a Service as an OpenShift Route.
Note
This plugin is part of the community.okd collection (version 1.1.2).
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.okd
.
To use it in a playbook, specify: community.okd.openshift_route
.
New in version 0.3.0: of community.okd
Synopsis
- Looks up a Service and creates a new Route based on it.
- Analogous to
oc expose
andoc create route
for creating Routes, but does not support creating Services. - For creating Services from other resources, see kubernetes.core.k8s_expose
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
- python >= 2.7

||
force
boolean
|
|
If set to yes , and state is present , an existing object will be replaced.
|
|
host
string
|
Provide a URL for accessing the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_HOST environment variable.
|
||
hostname
string
|
The hostname for the Route.
|
||
kubeconfig
path
|
Path to an existing Kubernetes config file. If not provided, and no other connection options are provided, the openshift client will attempt to load the default configuration file from ~/.kube/config.json. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_KUBECONFIG environment variable.
|
||
labels
dictionary
|
Specify the labels to apply to the created Route.
A set of key: value pairs.
|
||
name
string
|
The desired name of the Route to be created.
Defaults to the value of service
|
||
namespace
string / required
|
The namespace of the resource being targeted.
The Route will be created in this namespace as well.
|
||
password
string
|
Provide a password for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PASSWORD environment variable.
Please read the description of the username option for a discussion of when this option is applicable.
|
||
path
string
|
The path for the Route
|
||
persist_config
boolean
|
|
Whether or not to save the kube config refresh tokens. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PERSIST_CONFIG environment variable.
When the k8s context is using a user credentials with refresh tokens (like oidc or gke/gcloud auth), the token is refreshed by the k8s python client library but not saved by default. So the old refresh token can expire and the next auth might fail. Setting this flag to true will tell the k8s python client to save the new refresh token to the kube config file.
Default to false.
Please note that the current version of the k8s python client library does not support setting this flag to True yet.
The fix for this k8s python library is here: https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python-base/pull/169
|
|
port
string
|
Name or number of the port the Route will route traffic to.
|
||
proxy
string
|
The URL of an HTTP proxy to use for the connection. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY environment variable.
Please note that this module does not pick up typical proxy settings from the environment (e.g. HTTP_PROXY).
|
||
service
string
|
The name of the service to expose.
Required when state is not absent.
aliases: svc |
||
state
string
|
|
Determines if an object should be created, patched, or deleted. When set to present , an object will be created, if it does not already exist. If set to absent , an existing object will be deleted. If set to present , an existing object will be patched, if its attributes differ from those specified using resource_definition or src.
|
|
termination
string
|
|
The termination type of the Route.
If left empty no termination type will be set, and the route will be insecure.
When set to insecure tls will be ignored.

TLS configuration for the newly created route.
Only used when termination is set.
|
||
ca_certificate
string
|
Path to a CA certificate file on the target host.
Not supported when termination is set to passthrough.
|
||
certificate
string
|
Path to a certificate file on the target host.
Not supported when termination is set to passthrough.
|
||
destination_ca_certificate
string
|
Path to a CA certificate file used for securing the connection.

Defaults to the Service CA.
|
||
insecure_policy
string

Provide a username for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_USERNAME environment variable.
Please note that this only works with clusters configured to use HTTP Basic Auth. If your cluster has a different form of authentication (e.g. OAuth2 in OpenShift), this option will not work as expected and you should look into the k8s_auth module, as that might do what you need.
|
||
validate_certs
boolean
|
|
Whether or not to verify the API server's SSL certificates. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_VERIFY_SSL environment variable.
aliases: verify_ssl |
|
wait
boolean
|
|
Whether to wait for certain resource kinds to end up in the desired state.
By default the module exits once Kubernetes has received the request.
Implemented for
state=present for Deployment , DaemonSet and Pod , and for state=absent for all resource kinds.
For resource kinds without an implementation, wait returns immediately unless wait_condition is set.
|
|
wait_condition
dictionary
|
Specifies a custom condition on the status to wait for.
Ignored if wait is not set or is set to False.
|
||
reason
string
|
The value of the reason field in your desired condition
For example, if a
Deployment is paused, The Progressing type will have the DeploymentPaused reason.
The possible reasons in a condition are specific to each resource type in Kubernetes.
See the API documentation of the status field for a given resource to see possible choices.
|
||
status
string
|
|
The value of the status field in your desired condition.
For example, if a Deployment is paused, the Progressing type will have the Unknown status.
|
|
type
string
|
The type of condition to wait for.
For example, the
Pod resource will set the Ready condition (among others).
Required if you are specifying a
wait_condition .
If left empty, the
wait_condition field will be ignored.
The possible types for a condition are specific to each resource type in Kubernetes.
See the API documentation of the status field for a given resource to see possible choices.
|
||
wait_sleep
integer
|
Default:
5
|
Number of seconds to sleep between checks.
|
|
wait_timeout
integer
|
Default:
120
|
How long in seconds to wait for the resource to end up in the desired state.
Ignored if wait is not set.
|
|
wildcard_policy
string
|
|
The wildcard policy for the hostname.
Currently only Subdomain is supported.
If not provided, the default of None will be used.

Notes
Note
- The OpenShift Python client wraps the K8s Python client, providing full access to all of the APIS and models available on both platforms. For API version details and additional information visit https://github.com/openshift/openshift-restclient-python
- To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when
validate_certs
is True, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided viaca_cert
or in the kubeconfig file.
