pipInstall with pip install ansible==2.9.4
Use the OpenShift Python client to perform read operations on K8s objects.
Access to the full range of K8s APIs.
Authenticate using either a config file, certificates, password or token.
Supports check mode.
This module was called C(k8s_facts) before Ansible 2.9. The usage did not change.

host:
description:
- Provide a URL for accessing the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_HOST environment
variable.
type: str
kind:
description:
- Use to specify an object model. Use in conjunction with I(api_version), I(name),
and I(namespace) to identify a specific object.
required: true
name:
description:
- Use to specify an object name. Use in conjunction with I(api_version), I(kind)
and I(namespace) to identify a specific object.
proxy:
description:
- The URL of an HTTP proxy to use for the connection. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY
environment variable.
- Please note that this module does not pick up typical proxy settings from the environment
(e.g. HTTP_PROXY).
type: str
api_key:
description:
- Token used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_API_KEY
environment variable.
type: str
ca_cert:
aliases:
- ssl_ca_cert
description:
- Path to a CA certificate used to authenticate with the API. The full certificate
chain must be provided to avoid certificate validation errors. Can also be specified
via K8S_AUTH_SSL_CA_CERT environment variable.
type: path
context:
description:
- The name of a context found in the config file. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CONTEXT
environment variable.
type: str
password:
description:
- Provide a password for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PASSWORD
environment variable.
- Please read the description of the C(username) option for a discussion of when this
option is applicable.
type: str
username:
description:
- Provide a username for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_USERNAME
environment variable.
- Please note that this only works with clusters configured to use HTTP Basic Auth.
If your cluster has a different form of authentication (e.g. OAuth2 in OpenShift),
this option will not work as expected and you should look into the C(k8s_auth) module,
as that might do what you need.
type: str
namespace:
description:
- Use to specify an object namespace. Use in conjunction with I(api_version), I(kind),
and I(name) to identify a specific object.
client_key:
aliases:
- key_file
description:
- Path to a key file used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via
K8S_AUTH_KEY_FILE environment variable.
type: path
kubeconfig:
description:
- Path to an existing Kubernetes config file. If not provided, and no other connection
options are provided, the openshift client will attempt to load the default configuration
file from I(~/.kube/config.json). Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_KUBECONFIG
environment variable.
type: path
api_version:
aliases:
- api
- version
default: v1
description:
- Use to specify the API version. in conjunction with I(kind), I(name), and I(namespace)
to identify a specific object.
client_cert:
aliases:
- cert_file
description:
- Path to a certificate used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via
K8S_AUTH_CERT_FILE environment variable.
type: path
persist_config:
description:
- Whether or not to save the kube config refresh tokens. Can also be specified via
K8S_AUTH_PERSIST_CONFIG environment variable.
- When the k8s context is using a user credentials with refresh tokens (like oidc
or gke/gcloud auth), the token is refreshed by the k8s python client library but
not saved by default. So the old refresh token can expire and the next auth might
fail. Setting this flag to true will tell the k8s python client to save the new
refresh token to the kube config file.
- Default to false.
- Please note that the current version of the k8s python client library does not support
setting this flag to True yet.
- 'The fix for this k8s python library is here: https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python-base/pull/169'

validate_certs:
aliases:
- verify_ssl
description:
- Whether or not to verify the API server's SSL certificates. Can also be specified
