* Adds another module utility file which generalizes the
access of urls via the urllib* libraries.
* Adds a new spec generator for common arguments.
* Makes the user-agent string configurable.
Fixes#6211
Allow security tokens and profiles to be used as arguments
to the 'common' ec2 modules
Mostly refactoring to provide two new methods,
`get_aws_connection_info`, which results in a dict that can be
passed through to the boto `connect_to_region` calls, and
`connect_to_aws` that can pass that dict through to the
`connect_to_region` method of the appropriate module.
Tidied up some variable names
Works around boto/boto#2100
profiles don't work with boto < 2.24, but this detects for that
and fails with an appropriate message. It is designed to work
if profile is not passed but boto < 2.24 is installed.
Modifications to allow empty aws auth variables to be passed
(this is useful if wanting to have the keys as an optional
parameter in ec2 calls - if set, use this value, if not set,
use boto config or env variables)
Reworked validate_certs improvements to work with refactoring
Added documentation for profile and security_token to affected modules
In order to simplify the workflow with the GCE modules, it's now
possible to add the parameters and project name as arguments to the
various GCE modules.
The inventory plugin also returns the IP of the host in
`ansible_ssh_host` so that you don't have to specify IPs into the
inventory file.
Some update to the documentation are also added.
Closes#5583.
Bugfixes:
* the remote_src param was not being converted to a boolean correctly,
resulting in it never being used by the module as the default behavior
was remote_src=True (issue #5581)
* the remote_src param was not listed in the generic file params, leading
to a failure when the above bug regarding remote_src was fixed
* the delimiter should always end with a newline to ensure that the file
fragments do not run together on one line
Fixes#5581
When disabled, the boto connection will be instantiated without validating
the SSL certificate from the target endpoint. This allows the modules to connect
to Eucalyptus instances running with self-signed certs without errors.
Fixes#3978
This doesn't account for boto configs where e.g. RDS has one
default region and EC2 another - all will default to `ec2_region_name`.
However, this is just handy to allow an easy site wide default
region if existing configuration already relies on it.
Modules can be improved to mention this in the documentation and
turn off required=True where needed. But it works with `ec2`
and `ec2_vol` without change.
Refactor the currently well-factored ec2 modules (i.e. those that already use ec2_connect) to
have a common argument spec. The idea is that new modules can use this spec without duplication
of code, and that new functionality can be added to the ec2 connection code (e.g. security
token argument)
1. if accept_hostkey is false, no matter if the host key is known or not, it will fail.
2. We don't check for the host key in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
This fixes both of those issues.
to be reused between modules. See library/system/service and library/system/ping for initial examples. Can
work the old way to just import 'basic', or can import the new way to import multiple pieces of code from
module_utils/.
