debug_botocore_endpoint_logs
boolean
added in 2.8

Choices:
- no ←
- yes

Use a botocore.endpoint logger to parse the unique (rather than total) "resource:action" API calls made during a task, outputing the set to the resource_actions key in the task results. Use the aws_resource_action callback to output to total list made during a playbook. The ANSIBLE_DEBUG_BOTOCORE_LOGS environment variable may also be used.

delegation_set_id - |  | The DNS Zone delegation set ID.
dns_name - |  | The first name in the lexicographic ordering of domain names that you want the list_command to start listing from.
ec2_url string |  | Url to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required. Must be specified for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL environment variable, if any, is used.
health_check_id - |  | The ID of the health check. Required if `query` is set to `health_check` and `health_check_method` is set to `details` or `status` or `failure_reason`.

health_check_method
-

Choices:
- list ←
- details
- status
- failure_reason
- count

This is used in conjunction with query: health_check. It allows for listing details, counts or tags of various health check details.

hosted_zone_id - |  | The Hosted Zone ID of the DNS zone. Required if `query` is set to `hosted_zone` and `hosted_zone_method` is set to `details`. Required if `query` is set to `record_sets`.

max_items - |  | Maximum number of items to return for various get/list requests.
next_marker - |  | Some requests such as list_command: hosted_zones will return a maximum number of entries - EG 100 or the number specified by max_items. If the number of entries exceeds this maximum another request can be sent using the NextMarker entry from the first response to get the next page of results.
profile string |  | Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.

## Notes

Note

- If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence `AWS_URL` or `EC2_URL`, `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` or `AWS_ACCESS_KEY` or `EC2_ACCESS_KEY`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` or `AWS_SECRET_KEY` or `EC2_SECRET_KEY`, `AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN` or `EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN`, `AWS_REGION` or `EC2_REGION`

- Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html

- `AWS_REGION` or `EC2_REGION` can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
