## Synopsis

- Manage OVH (French European hosting provider) IP Failover Address. For now, this module can only be used to move an ip failover (or failover block) between services

## Requirements

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

- ovh >= 0.4.8

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
application_key - / required |  | The applicationKey to use
application_secret - / required |  | The application secret to use
consumer_key - / required |  | The consumer key to use
endpoint - / required |  | The endpoint to use ( for instance ovh-eu)
name - / required |  | The IP address to manage (can be a single IP like 1.1.1.1 or a block like 1.1.1.1/28 )
service - / required |  | The name of the OVH service this IP address should be routed
timeout - | Default: 120 | The timeout in seconds used to wait for a task to be completed. Default is 120 seconds.
wait_completion boolean | Choices: no yes ← | If true, the module will wait for the IP address to be moved. If false, exit without waiting. The taskId will be returned in module output
wait_task_completion - | Default: 0 | If not 0, the module will wait for this task id to be completed. Use wait_task_completion if you want to wait for completion of a previously executed task with wait_completion=false. You can execute this module repeatedly on a list of failover IPs using wait_completion=false (see examples)

## Notes

Note

- Uses the python OVH Api https://github.com/ovh/python-ovh. You have to create an application (a key and secret) with a consummer key as described into https://eu.api.ovh.com/g934.first_step_with_api

## Examples

    # Route an IP address 1.1.1.1 to the service ns666.ovh.net
    - ovh_ip_failover:
        name: 1.1.1.1
        service: ns666.ovh.net
        endpoint: ovh-eu
        application_key: yourkey
        application_secret: yoursecret
        consumer_key: yourconsumerkey
    - ovh_ip_failover:
        name: 1.1.1.1
        service: ns666.ovh.net
        endpoint: ovh-eu
        wait_completion: false
        application_key: yourkey
        application_secret: yoursecret
        consumer_key: yourconsumerkey
      register: moved
    - ovh_ip_failover:
        name: 1.1.1.1
        service: ns666.ovh.net
        endpoint: ovh-eu
        wait_task_completion: "{{moved.taskId}}"
        application_key: yourkey
        application_secret: yoursecret
        consumer_key: yourconsumerkey
