Parameters
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_timeout
        
        integer
         | 
      
        
        How long should the socket layer wait before timing out for API calls. If this is omitted, nothing will be passed to the requests library.

        dictionary
         | 
      
        
        Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud's auth plugin strategy. For the default password plugin, this would contain auth_url, username, password, project_name and any information about domains (for example, user_domain_name or project_domain_name) if the cloud supports them. For other plugins, this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided or OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.

        As of Kilo, by default, passwords are always masked to API requests, which means the logic as a result always attempts to re-assert the password field.
        
       skip_update_of_driver_password is deprecated alias and will be removed in openstack.cloud 2.0.0.

Notes
Note
- The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as 
OS_USERNAMEmay be used instead of providing explicit values. - Auth information is driven by openstacksdk, which means that values can come from a yaml config file in /etc/ansible/openstack.yaml, /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml or ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml, then from standard environment variables, then finally by explicit parameters in plays. More information can be found at https://docs.openstack.org/openstacksdk/
