Synopsis ¶

This module allows the user to create, update, terminate and perform other power actions (such as reset, soft-reset, start and stop) on an Instance Pool in OCI.

Requirements ¶

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

python >= 2.7
Python SDK for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure https://oracle-cloud-infrastructure-python-sdk.readthedocs.io

Parameters ¶

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
api_user string				The OCID of the user, on whose behalf, OCI APIs are invoked. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_ID environment variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the user is not specified through a configuration file (See `config_file_location`). To get the user's OCID, please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm.
api_user_fingerprint string				Fingerprint for the key pair being used. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_FINGERPRINT environment variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the key fingerprint is not specified through a configuration file (See `config_file_location`). To get the key pair's fingerprint value please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm.
api_user_key_file string				Full path and filename of the private key (in PEM format). If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_FILE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the private key is not specified through a configuration file (See `config_file_location`). If the key is encrypted with a pass-phrase, the `api_user_key_pass_phrase` option must also be provided.
api_user_key_pass_phrase string				Passphrase used by the key referenced in `api_user_key_file`, if it is encrypted. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_PASS_PHRASE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the key passphrase is not specified through a configuration file (See `config_file_location`).
auth_type string			Choices: api_key ← instance_principal instance_obo_user	The type of authentication to use for making API requests. By default `auth_type="api_key"` based authentication is performed and the API key (see api_user_key_file) in your config file will be used. If this 'auth_type' module option is not specified, the value of the OCI_ANSIBLE_AUTH_TYPE, if any, is used. Use `auth_type="instance_principal"` to use instance principal based authentication when running ansible` playbooks within an OCI compute instance.
compartment_id -				The OCID of the compartment containing the instance pool. Required to create an instance pool.
config_file_location string				Path to configuration file. If not set then the value of the OCI_CONFIG_FILE environment variable, if any, is used. Otherwise, defaults to ~/.oci/config.
config_profile_name string				The profile to load from the config file referenced by `config_file_location`. If not set, then the value of the OCI_CONFIG_PROFILE environment variable, if any, is used. Otherwise, defaults to the "DEFAULT" profile in `config_file_location`.
defined_tags dictionary				Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/General/Concepts/resourcetags.htm.
force_create boolean			Choices: no ← yes	Whether to attempt non-idempotent creation of a resource. By default, create resource is an idempotent operation, and doesn't create the resource if it already exists. Setting this option to true, forcefully creates a copy of the resource, even if it already exists.This option is mutually exclusive with key_by.
freeform_tags dictionary				Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/General/Concepts/resourcetags.htm.
instance_configuration_id -				The OCID of the instance configuration associated to the instance pool. Required for creating an Instance pool
instance_pool_id -				The OCID of the instance pool. Required for updating and terminating the instance pool aliases: id
key_by list				The list of comma-separated attributes of this resource which should be used to uniquely identify an instance of the resource. By default, all the attributes of a resource except freeform_tags are used to uniquely identify a resource.
load_balancers -				A list of load balancers and configurations which will attach to the instance pool.
	backend_set_name - / required			The name of the backend set which the instance pool will assign instances to.
	load_balancer_id - / required			The OCID of the load balancer that you would like to attach to the instance pool.
	port - / required			The port that the backend set will forward traffic to on the instance
	vnic_selection -			Indicates which VNIC on each instance in the instance pool should be used to associate with the load balancer. Possible values are "PrimaryVnic" or the displayName of one of the secondary VNICs on the instance configuration that is associated with the instance pool.
name -				The user-friendly name. Does not have to be unique. aliases: display_name
placement_configurations -				The placement configurations for the instance pool. There should be 1 placement configuration for each desired AD. Required to create an instance pool.
	availability_domain - / required			The availability domain to place instances.
	primary_subnet_id - / required			The OCID of the primary subnet to place instances.
	secondary_vnics -			A list of secondary VNIC configurations for instances in the pool.
		display_name -		The displayName of the vnic. This is also use to match against the Instance Configuration defined secondary vnic.
		subnet_id -		The subnet OCID for the secondary vnic
region string				The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure region to use for all OCI API requests. If not set, then the value of the OCI_REGION variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the region is not specified through a configuration file (See `config_file_location`). Please refer to https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/General/Concepts/regions.htm for more information on OCI regions.
size -				The number of instances that should be in the instance pool. Required to create an instance pool.
state -			Choices: present ← absent running reset softreset stopped	Create or update an instance pool with state=present. Use state=absent to delete an instance pool. When state=stopped, stop (power off) action is performed on the specified instance pool, which performs the action on all the instances in the pool. When state=softreset, the softreset (ACPI shutdown and power on) action is performed on the specified instance pool, which performs the action on all the instances in the pool. When state=reset, the reset (power off and power on) action is performed on the specified instance pool, which performs the action on all the instances in the pool. Note that state=softreset and state=reset states are not idempotent. Every time a play is executed with these `state` options, a shutdown and a power on sequence is executed against the instance pool.
tenancy string				OCID of your tenancy. If not set, then the value of the OCI_TENANCY variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the tenancy OCID is not specified through a configuration file (See `config_file_location`). To get the tenancy OCID, please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm
wait boolean			Choices: no yes ←	Whether to wait for create or delete operation to complete.
wait_timeout integer			Default: 2000	Time, in seconds, to wait when wait=yes.
wait_until string				The lifecycle state to wait for the resource to transition into when wait=yes. By default, when wait=yes, we wait for the resource to get into ACTIVE/ATTACHED/AVAILABLE/PROVISIONED/ RUNNING applicable lifecycle state during create operation & to get into DELETED/DETACHED/ TERMINATED lifecycle state during delete operation.
