openshift_scale - Set a new size for a Deployment Config, Deployment, Replica Set, Replication Controller, or Job.

New in version 2.5.

Synopsis

  • Similar to the oc scale command. Use to set the number of replicas for a Deployment Config, Deployment, ReplicatSet, or Replication Controller, or the parallelism attribute of a Job. Supports check mode.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • python >= 2.7
  • openshift == 0.4.3
  • PyYAML >= 3.11

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
api_key
Token used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_API_KEY environment variable.
api_version Default:
v1
Use to specify the API version. Use to create, delete, or discover an object without providing a full resource definition. Use in conjunction with kind, name, and namespace to identify a specific object. If resource definition is provided, the apiVersion from the resource_definition will override this option.

aliases: api, version
cert_file
Path to a certificate used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CERT_FILE environment variable.
context
The name of a context found in the config file. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CONTEXT environment variable.
current_replicas
For Deployment, ReplicaSet, Replication Controller, only scale, if the number of existing replicas matches. In the case of a Job, update parallelism only if the current parallelism value matches.
host
Provide a URL for accessing the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_HOST environment variable.
key_file
Path to a key file used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_HOST environment variable.
kind
Use to specify an object model. Use to create, delete, or discover an object without providing a full resource definition. Use in conjunction with api_version, name, and namespace to identify a specific object. If resource definition is provided, the kind from the resource_definition will override this option.
kubeconfig
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 ~/.kube/config.json. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_KUBECONFIG environment variable.
name
Use to specify an object name. Use to create, delete, or discover an object without providing a full resource definition. Use in conjunction with api_version, kind and namespace to identify a specific object. If resource definition is provided, the metadata.name value from the resource_definition will override this option.
namespace
Use to specify an object namespace. Useful when creating, deleting, or discovering an object without providing a full resource definition. Use in conjunction with api_version, kind, and name to identify a specfic object. If resource definition is provided, the metadata.namespace value from the resource_definition will override this option.
password
Provide a password for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PASSWORD environment variable.
replicas
The desired number of replicas.
resource_definition
Provide a valid YAML definition for an object when creating or updating. NOTE: kind, api_version, name, and namespace will be overwritten by corresponding values found in the provided resource_definition.

aliases: definition, inline
resource_version
Only attempt to scale, if the current object version matches.
src
Provide a path to a file containing a valid YAML definition of an object to be created or updated. Mutually exclusive with resource_definition. NOTE: kind, api_version, name, and namespace will be overwritten by corresponding values found in the configuration read in from the src file.
Reads from the local file system. To read from the Ansible controller's file system, use the file lookup plugin or template lookup plugin, combined with the from_yaml filter, and pass the result to resource_definition. See Examples below.
ssl_ca_cert
Path to a CA certificate used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_SSL_CA_CERT environment variable.
username
Provide a username for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_USERNAME environment variable.
verify_ssl
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Whether or not to verify the API server's SSL certificates. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_VERIFY_SSL environment variable.
wait
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
For Deployment, ReplicaSet, Replication Controller, wait for the status value of ready_replicas to change to the number of replicas. In the case of a Job, this option is ignored.
wait_timeout Default:
20
When wait is True, the number of seconds to wait for the ready_replicas status to equal replicas. If the status is not reached within the allotted time, an error will result. In the case of a Job, this option is ignored.

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key Returned Description
result
complex
success
If a change was made, will return the patched object, otherwise returns the existing object.

status
complex
success
Current status details for the object.

kind
str
success
Represents the REST resource this object represents.

spec
complex
success
Specific attributes of the object. Will vary based on the api_version and kind.

api_version
str
success
The versioned schema of this representation of an object.

metadata
complex
success
Standard object metadata. Includes name, namespace, annotations, labels, etc.



Status

This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
