- cs >= 0.6.10

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
account string |  | Account the VPC is related to.
api_http_method string | Choices: get post | HTTP method used to query the API endpoint. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_METHOD` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes. Fallback value is `get` if not specified.
api_key string |  | API key of the CloudStack API. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_KEY` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
api_region string | Default: "cloudstack" | Name of the ini section in the `cloustack.ini` file. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_REGION` env variable is considered.
api_secret string |  | Secret key of the CloudStack API. If not set, the `CLOUDSTACK_SECRET` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
api_timeout integer |  | HTTP timeout in seconds. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_TIMEOUT` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes. Fallback value is 10 seconds if not specified.
api_url string |  | URL of the CloudStack API e.g. https://cloud.example.com/client/api. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
cidr string |  | CIDR of the VPC, e.g. 10.1.0.0/16 All VPC guest networks' CIDRs must be within this CIDR. Required on state=present.
clean_up boolean added in 2.5 | Choices: no yes | Whether to redeploy a VPC router or not when state=restarted
display_text string |  | Display text of the VPC. If not set, name will be used for creating.
domain string |  | Domain the VPC is related to.
name string / required |  | Name of the VPC.
network_domain string |  | Network domain for the VPC. All networks inside the VPC will belong to this domain. Only considered while creating the VPC, can not be changed.
poll_async boolean | Choices: no yes ← | Poll async jobs until job has finished.
project string |  | Name of the project the VPC is related to.
state string | Choices: present ← absent stopped restarted | State of the VPC. The state `present` creates a started VPC. The state `stopped` is only considered while creating the VPC, added in version 2.6.
tags list |  | List of tags. Tags are a list of dictionaries having keys key and value. For deleting all tags, set an empty list e.g. tags: []. aliases: tag
vpc_offering string |  | Name of the VPC offering. If not set, default VPC offering is used.
zone string |  | Name of the zone. If not set, default zone is used.

## Notes

Note

- Ansible uses the `cs` library’s configuration method if credentials are not provided by the arguments `api_url`, `api_key`, `api_secret`. Configuration is read from several locations, in the following order. The `CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT`, `CLOUDSTACK_KEY`, `CLOUDSTACK_SECRET` and `CLOUDSTACK_METHOD`. `CLOUDSTACK_TIMEOUT` environment variables. A `CLOUDSTACK_CONFIG` environment variable pointing to an `.ini` file. A `cloudstack.ini` file in the current working directory. A `.cloudstack.ini` file in the users home directory. Optionally multiple credentials and endpoints can be specified using ini sections in `cloudstack.ini`. Use the argument `api_region` to select the section name, default section is `cloudstack`. See https://github.com/exoscale/cs for more information.
- A detailed guide about cloudstack modules can be found in the CloudStack Cloud Guide.
- This module supports check mode.

## Examples

    - name: Ensure a VPC is present but not started after creating
      cs_vpc:
        name: my_vpc
        display_text: My example VPC
        cidr: 10.10.0.0/16
        state: stopped
      delegate_to: localhost

    - name: Ensure a VPC is present and started after creating
      cs_vpc:
        name: my_vpc
        display_text: My example VPC
        cidr: 10.10.0.0/16
      delegate_to: localhost

    - name: Ensure a VPC is absent
      cs_vpc:
        name: my_vpc
        state: absent
      delegate_to: localhost

    - name: Ensure a VPC is restarted with clean up
      cs_vpc:
        name: my_vpc
        clean_up: yes
        state: restarted
      delegate_to: localhost
