- 'Provide a path to a file containing a valid YAML definition of an object or objects
to be created or updated. Mutually exclusive with I(resource_definition). NOTE:
I(kind), I(api_version), I(name), and I(namespace) will be overwritten by corresponding
values found in the configuration read in from the I(src) file.'
- Reads from the local file system. To read from the Ansible controller's file system,
including vaulted files, use the file lookup plugin or template lookup plugin, combined
with the from_yaml filter, and pass the result to I(resource_definition). See Examples
below.
- Mutually exclusive with I(template) in case of M(k8s) module.

type: str
wait:
default: false
description:
- Whether to wait for certain resource kinds to end up in the desired state.
- By default the module exits once Kubernetes has received the request.
- Implemented for C(state=present) for C(Deployment), C(DaemonSet) and C(Pod), and
for C(state=absent) for all resource kinds.
- For resource kinds without an implementation, C(wait) returns immediately unless
C(wait_condition) is set.
type: bool
apply:
default: false
description:
- C(apply) compares the desired resource definition with the previously supplied resource
definition, ignoring properties that are automatically generated
- C(apply) works better with Services than 'force=yes'
- Requires openshift >= 0.9.2
- mutually exclusive with C(merge_type)
type: bool

(e.g. HTTP_PROXY).
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).

environment variable.
- Please read the description of the C(username) option for a discussion of when this
option is applicable.
type: str
template:
description:
- Provide a valid YAML template definition file for an object when creating or updating.
- Value can be provided as string or dictionary.
- Mutually exclusive with C(src) and C(resource_definition).
- Template files needs to be present on the Ansible Controller's file system.
- Additional parameters can be specified using dictionary.
- 'Valid additional parameters - '

Default value is true.'
- 'C(lstrip_blocks) (bool): Determine when leading spaces and tabs should be stripped.
When set to C(yes) leading spaces and tabs are stripped from the start of a line
to a block. This functionality requires Jinja 2.7 or newer. Default value is false.'
type: raw
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
validate:
description:
- how (if at all) to validate the resource definition against the kubernetes schema.
Requires the kubernetes-validate python module and openshift >= 0.8.0
suboptions:

description: version of Kubernetes to validate against. defaults to Kubernetes
server version
type: str
type: dict
namespace:
description:
- Use to specify an object namespace.
- Useful when creating, deleting, or discovering an object without providing a full
resource definition.
- Use in conjunction with I(api_version), I(kind), and I(name) to identify a specific
object.
- If I(resource definition) is provided, the I(metadata.namespace) value from the
I(resource_definition) will override this option.
type: str
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
merge_type:
choices:
- json
- merge
- strategic-merge
description:
- Whether to override the default patch merge approach with a specific type. By default,
the strategic merge will typically be used.
- For example, Custom Resource Definitions typically aren't updatable by the usual
strategic merge. You may want to use C(merge) if you see "strategic merge patch
format is not supported"
- See U(https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/run-application/update-api-object-kubectl-patch/#use-a-json-merge-patch-to-update-a-deployment)
- Requires openshift >= 0.6.2
- If more than one merge_type is given, the merge_types will be tried in order
- If openshift >= 0.6.2, this defaults to C(['strategic-merge', 'merge']), which is
ideal for using the same parameters on resource kinds that combine Custom Resources
and built-in resources. For openshift < 0.6.2, the default is simply C(strategic-merge).
- mutually exclusive with C(apply)
elements: str
type: list

- Use in conjunction with I(kind), I(name), and I(namespace) to identify a specific
object.
- If I(resource definition) is provided, the I(apiVersion) value from the I(resource_definition)
will override this option.
type: str
append_hash:
default: false
description:
- Whether to append a hash to a resource name for immutability purposes
- Applies only to ConfigMap and Secret resources
- The parameter will be silently ignored for other resource kinds
- The full definition of an object is needed to generate the hash - this means that
deleting an object created with append_hash will only work if the same object is
passed with state=absent (alternatively, just use state=absent with the name including
the generated hash and append_hash=no)
- Requires openshift >= 0.7.2
type: bool
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.

may vary across object types.

type: dict
version_added: 1.2.0
version_added_collection: community.kubernetes
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.

choices.

- For example, if a C(Deployment) is paused, the C(Progressing) C(type) will have
the C(Unknown) status.
type: str
type:
description:
- The type of condition to wait for.
- For example, the C(Pod) resource will set the C(Ready) condition (among others).
- Required if you are specifying a C(wait_condition).
- If left empty, the C(wait_condition) field will be ignored.
- The possible types for a condition are specific to each resource type in Kubernetes.

choices.
