## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
account string |  | Account the static NAT 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.
domain string |  | Domain the static NAT is related to.
ip_address string / required |  | Public IP address the static NAT is assigned to.
network string |  | Network the IP address is related to.
poll_async boolean | Choices: no yes ← | Poll async jobs until job has finished.
project string |  | Name of the project the static NAT is related to.
state string | Choices: present ← absent | State of the static NAT.
vm string |  | Name of virtual machine which we make the static NAT for. Required if state=present.
vm_guest_ip string |  | VM guest NIC secondary IP address for the static NAT.
vpc string |  | VPC the network related to.
zone string |  | Name of the zone in which the virtual machine is in. 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

      cs_staticnat:
        ip_address: 1.2.3.4
        vm: web01
      delegate_to: localhost

    - name: Remove a static NAT
      cs_staticnat:
        ip_address: 1.2.3.4
        state: absent
      delegate_to: localhost
