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.
         | 
     |
| auth
        
        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.
         | 
     |
| auth_type
        
        string
         | 
      
        
        Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here and the contents of the auth parameter should be updated accordingly.
         | 
     |
| availability_zone
        
        string
         |

         | 
      
        
        A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests.

| cloud
        
        raw
         | 
      
        
        Named cloud or cloud config to operate against. If cloud is a string, it references a named cloud config as defined in an OpenStack clouds.yaml file. Provides default values for auth and auth_type. This parameter is not needed if auth is provided or if OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present. If cloud is a dict, it contains a complete cloud configuration like would be in a section of clouds.yaml.

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/
