count: default: 1 description: - The number of the new instance. An integer value which indicates how many instances that match I(count_tag) should be running. Instances are either created or terminated based on this value. force: default: false description: - Whether the current operation needs to be execute forcibly. type: bool state: choices: - present - running - stopped - restarted - absent default: present description: - The state of the instance after operating. period: default: 1 description: - The charge duration of the instance, in month. Required when C(instance_charge_type=PrePaid). - The valid value are [1-9, 12, 24, 36]. profile: description: - This is the Alicloud profile name as set in the shared credentials file. It can also be sourced from the ALICLOUD_PROFILE environment variable. type: str image_id: aliases: - image description: - Image ID used to launch instances. Required when C(state=present) and creating new ECS instances. key_name: aliases: - keypair description: - The name of key pair which is used to access ECS instance in SSH. required: false password: description: - The password to login instance. After rebooting instances, modified password will take effect. count_tag: description: - I(count) determines how many instances based on a specific tag criteria should be present. This can be expressed in multiple ways and is shown in the EXAMPLES section. The specified count_tag must already exist or be passed in as the I(instance_tags) option. If it is not specified, it will be replaced by I(instance_name). host_name: description: - Instance host name. user_data: description: - User-defined data to customize the startup behaviors of an ECS instance and to pass data into an ECS instance.

You can retrieve this from the 'Access Control' section of the Alibaba Cloud console. - If you're running Ansible from an ECS instance with RAM Instance using RAM Role, Ansible will just access the metadata U(http://100.100.100.200/latest/meta-data/ram/security-credentials/<ecs_role_name>) to obtain the STS credential. This is a preferred approach over any other when running in ECS as you can avoid hard coding credentials. Instead these are leased on-the-fly by Ansible which reduces the chance of leakage. type: str instance_name: aliases: - name description: - The name of ECS instance, which is a string of 2 to 128 Chinese or English characters.

Required when C(auto_renew=True). availability_zone: aliases: - alicloud_zone description: - Aliyun availability zone ID in which to launch the instance. If it is not specified, it will be allocated by system automatically. max_bandwidth_out: default: 0 description: - Maximum outgoing bandwidth to the public network, measured in Mbps (Megabits per second). allocate_public_ip: aliases: - assign_public_ip default: false description: - Whether allocate a public ip for the new instance. type: bool alicloud_access_key: aliases: - access_key_id - access_key description: - Alibaba Cloud access key. If not set then the value of environment variable C(ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY), C(ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID) will be used instead. type: str alicloud_secret_key: aliases: - secret_access_key - secret_key description: - Alibaba Cloud secret key. If not set then the value of environment variable C(ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY), C(ALICLOUD_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY) will be used instead. type: str alicloud_assume_role: aliases: - assume_role description: - If provided with a role ARN, Ansible will attempt to assume this role using the supplied credentials. - The nested assume_role block supports I(alicloud_assume_role_arn), I(alicloud_assume_role_session_name), I(alicloud_assume_role_session_expiration) and I(alicloud_assume_role_policy) type: dict instance_charge_type: choices: - PrePaid - PostPaid default: PostPaid description: - The charge type of the instance. internet_charge_type: choices: - PayByBandwidth - PayByTraffic default: PayByBandwidth description: - Internet charge type of ECS instance. system_disk_category: choices: - cloud_efficiency - cloud_ssd default: cloud_efficiency description: - Category of the system disk. alicloud_security_token: aliases: - security_token description: - The Alibaba Cloud security token. If not specified then the value of environment variable C(ALICLOUD_SECURITY_TOKEN) will be used instead. type: str shared_credentials_file: description: - This is the path to the shared credentials file. It can also be sourced from the ALICLOUD_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE environment variable. - If this is not set and a profile is specified, ~/.aliyun/config.json will be used. type: str system_disk_description: description: - Description of the system disk. alicloud_assume_role_arn: aliases: - assume_role_arn description: - The Alibaba Cloud role_arn. The ARN of the role to assume. If ARN is set to an empty string, it does not perform role switching.
