Create, update or delete an AWS EC2 VPC Subnet.

Examples

- name: Create a subnet in the default VPC
  ec2_subnet:
    name: my-subnet-in-default-vpc
    cidr: 10.0.0.0/16

- name: Create a subnet in a non-default VPC and specific availability zone
  ec2_subnet:
    name: my-subnet
    vpc: vpc-123456
    cidr: 10.0.0.0/16
    availability_zone: use2-az2
  register: my_subnet

- name: Update the subnet's setting for auto assigning public IPs to instances
  ec2_subnet:
    id: "{{ my_subnet.object.id }}"
    auto_assign_ip: true

- name: Clear all the subnet's tags
  ec2_subnet:
    id: "{{ my_subnet.object.id }}"
    clear_tags: true

- name: Delete a subnet
  ec2_subnet:
    id: "{{ my_subnet.object.id }}"
    state: absent

- name: Delete a subnet in a non-default VPC by providing a VPC ID and subnet CIDR block
  ec2_subnet:
    vpc: vpc-123456
    cidr: 10.0.0.0/16
    state: absent

- name: Delete a subnet in the default VPC by providing its CIDR block

Parameters

auth (optional)

Parameters for authenticating with the AWS service. Each of them may be defined via environment variables.

type: dict
access_key (optional)

The AWS access key ID. If not set, the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY environment variable will be checked.

Mutually exclusive with profile.

type: str
profile (optional)

The name of the AWS profile configured with aws configure.

Can be used instead of explicitly specifying your access credentials and region.

Use default to use the default profile.

Mutually exclusive with access_key and secret_key.

type: str
region (optional)

The name of the AWS region.

If not set, the value of the AWS_REGION environment variable will be checked.

If you set a profile that specifies a default region, that region is used and you can omit this parameter. Use this parameter to override the profile’s default region.

type: str
secret_key (optional)

The AWS secret access key. If not set, the value of the AWS_SECRET_KEY environment variable will be checked.

Mutually exclusive with profile.

type: str
url (optional)

The URL to the AWS service related to the resource. By default, this is automatically determined through the region parameter.

If not set explicitly, the value of the AWS_<SERVICE>_URL environment variable will be used.

The services currently supported are EC2 and S3.

type: str
auto_assign_ip (optional)

Whether a public IPv4 address should be assigned to ENIs attached to instances launched from this subnet.

type: bool
availability_zone (optional)

ID of the availability zone to create the AWS resource in.

If omitted, the availability zone will be selected by AWS.

type: str
cidr (optional)

IPv4 network range to assign to the subnet, in CIDR notation.

This parameter is required unless id is provided.

In the absence of id, the value of this parameter will be used to uniquely identify the subnet within the desired vpc or default VPC.

type: str
clear_tags (optional)

Whether to clear any existing tags on the resource that are not explicitly stated in tags.

By default, existing tags are kept on the resource.

When this parameter is set to true, any pre-existing tags on the resource (including the name tag) are removed. To clear all tags except the name tag, make sure to provide the name parameter.

type: bool
id (optional)

ID of the resource to perform the task on.

If specified, this parameter is used to identify the resource.

Omit this parameter when you are first creating the resource.

type: str
name (optional)

Name of the subnet.

This parameter is required when first creating the subnet.

type: str
state (optional)

Target state of the AWS resource.

type: str
default: present
choices: present, absent
tags (optional)

Metadata for the AWS resource as key/value pairs.

Keys and values are case-sensitive.

type: dict
vpc (optional)

ID of the VPC for the target subnet.

In the absence of id, the value of this parameter will be used to uniquely identify the subnet together with cidr.

If omitted, the default VPC is assumed.

type: str
