name:
    description:
    - Name of the Template object.
    required: true
    type: str

force:
    default: false
    description:

    type: str

state:
    choices:
    - absent
    - present
    default: present
    description:
    - Determines if an object should be created, patched, or deleted. When set to C(present),
      an object will be created, if it does not already exist. If set to C(absent), an
      existing object will be deleted. If set to C(present), an existing object will be
      patched, if its attributes differ from those specified using I(resource_definition)
      or I(src).

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:

    - List of any valid API objects, such as a I(DeploymentConfig), I(Service), etc. The
      object will be created exactly as defined here, with any parameter values substituted
      in prior to creation. The definition of these objects can reference parameters defined
      earlier.
    - As part of the list user can pass also I(VirtualMachine) kind. When passing I(VirtualMachine)
      user must use Ansible structure of the parameters not the Kubernetes API structure.
      For more information please take a look at M(community.general.kubevirt_vm) module
      and at EXAMPLES section, where you can see example.
    type: list

      cluster.
    type: str

username:
    description:

      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:

    required: true
    type: str

      provide icons through CSS customizations that can be added to an OpenShift Container
      Platform cluster that uses your template. You must specify an icon class that exists,
      or it will prevent falling back to the generic icon.
    type: str

kubeconfig:
    description:

      the strategic merge will typically be used.
    type: list

parameters:
    description:
    - Parameters allow a value to be supplied by the user or generated when the template
      is instantiated. Then, that value is substituted wherever the parameter is referenced.
      References can be defined in any field in the objects list field. This is useful
      for generating random passwords or allowing the user to supply a host name or other
      user-specific value that is required to customize the template.

      a template to ensure OS compatibility and performance.
    - The C(default_nic) parameter define configuration overlay for nic that will be applied
      on top of nics during virtual machine creation to define global compatibility and/or
      performance defaults defined here.
    - This is parameter can be used only when kubevirt addon is installed on your openshift
      cluster.

      applied on top of disks during virtual machine creation to define global compatibility
      and/or performance defaults defined here.

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.

      will be applied on top of networks during virtual machine creation to define global
      compatibility and/or performance defaults defined here.
    - This is parameter can be used only when kubevirt addon is installed on your openshift
      cluster.
