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.

## 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.
