Parameters
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|   api_timeout    integer    |    How long should the socket layer wait before timing out for API calls. If this is omitted, nothing will be passed to the requests library.   |  ||||
|   auth    dictionary    |    Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud's auth plugin strategy. For the default password plugin, this would contain auth_url, username, password, project_name and any information about domains (for example, user_domain_name or project_domain_name) if the cloud supports them. For other plugins, this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided or OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.   |  ||||
|   auth_type    string    |    Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here and the contents of the auth parameter should be updated accordingly.   |  ||||
|   auto_public_ip    boolean    |   
  |    Allocate a public IP address and associate with the VIP automatically.   |  |||
|   availability_zone    string    |    Ignored. Present for backwards compatibility   |  ||||
|   ca_cert    string    |    A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests.  aliases: cacert  |  ||||
|   client_cert    string    |    A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction.  aliases: cert  |  ||||
|   client_key    string    |    A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction.  aliases: key  |  ||||
|   cloud    raw    |    Named cloud or cloud config to operate against. If cloud is a string, it references a named cloud config as defined in an OpenStack clouds.yaml file. Provides default values for auth and auth_type. This parameter is not needed if auth is provided or if OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present. If cloud is a dict, it contains a complete cloud configuration like would be in a section of clouds.yaml.   |  ||||
|   delete_public_ip    boolean    |   
  |    When   state=absent and this option is true, any public IP address associated with the VIP will be deleted along with the load balancer. |  |||

|   address    string    |    The IP address of the member.   |  ||||
|   name    string    |    The member name or ID.   |  ||||
|   protocol_port    string    |   Default: 80   |    The protocol port number for the member.   |  |||
|   subnet    string    |    The name or ID of the subnet the member service is accessible from.   |  ||||

Notes
Note
- The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as 
OS_USERNAMEmay be used instead of providing explicit values. - Auth information is driven by openstacksdk, which means that values can come from a yaml config file in /etc/ansible/openstack.yaml, /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml or ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml, then from standard environment variables, then finally by explicit parameters in plays. More information can be found at https://docs.openstack.org/openstacksdk/
