ec2_vpc_vpn - Create, modify, and delete EC2 VPN connections.

New in version 2.4.

Synopsis

  • This module creates, modifies, and deletes VPN connections. Idempotence is achieved by using the filters option or specifying the VPN connection identifier.

Requirements (on host that executes module)

  • boto3
  • botocore

Options

parameter required default choices comments
connection_type
 no ipsec.1
  • ipsec.1
The type of VPN connection.
customer_gateway_id
 no
The ID of the customer gateway.
filters
 no
An alternative to using vpn_connection_id. If multiple matches are found, vpn_connection_id is required. If one of the following suboptions is a list of items to filter by, only one item needs to match to find the VPN that correlates. e.g. if the filter 'cidr' is ['194.168.2.0/24', '192.168.2.0/24'] and the VPN route only has the destination cidr block of '192.168.2.0/24' it will be found with this filter (assuming there are not multiple VPNs that are matched). Another example, if the filter 'vpn' is equal to ['vpn-ccf7e7ad', 'vpn-cb0ae2a2'] and one of of the VPNs has the state deleted (exists but is unmodifiable) and the other exists and is not deleted, it will be found via this filter. See examples.
Dictionary object filters
parameter required default choices comments
cgw-config
 no
The customer gateway configuration of the VPN as a string (in the format of the return value) or a list of those strings.
vpn
 no
The VPN connection id as a string or a list of those strings.
tag-keys
 no
The key of a tag as a string or a list of those strings.
static-routes-only
 no
The type of routing; true or false.
tags
 no
A dict of key value pairs.
bgp
 no
The BGP ASN number associated with a BGP device. Only works if the connection is attached. This filtering option is currently not working.
tag-values
 no
The value of a tag as a string or a list of those strings.
cidr
 no
The destination cidr of the VPN's route as a string or a list of those strings.
vgw
 no
The virtual private gateway as a string or a list of those strings.
cgw
 no
The customer gateway id as a string or a list of those strings.
purge_routes
 no
Whether or not to delete VPN connections routes that are not specified in the task.
purge_tags
 no
  • yes
  • no
Whether or not to delete VPN connections tags that are associated with the connection but not specified in the task.
routes
 no
Routes to add to the connection.
state
 no present
  • present
  • absent
The desired state of the VPN connection.
static_only
 no
Indicates whether the VPN connection uses static routes only. Static routes must be used for devices that don't support BGP.
tags
 no
Tags to attach to the VPN connection.
vpn_connection_id
 no
The ID of the VPN connection. Required to modify or delete a connection if the filters option does not provide a unique match.
vpn_gateway_id
 no
The ID of the virtual private gateway.
