## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
aws_access_key string |  | AWS access key. If not set then the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is used. aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key
aws_secret_key string |  | AWS secret key. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_KEY, or EC2_SECRET_KEY environment variable is used. aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key
change_id - |  | The ID of the change batch request. The value that you specify here is the value that ChangeResourceRecordSets returned in the Id element when you submitted the request. Required if `query` is set to `change`.
debug_botocore_endpoint_logs boolean added in 2.8 | Choices: no ← yes | Use a botocore.endpoint logger to parse the unique (rather than total) "resource:action" API calls made during a task, outputing the set to the resource_actions key in the task results. Use the aws_resource_action callback to output to total list made during a playbook. The ANSIBLE_DEBUG_BOTOCORE_LOGS environment variable may also be used.
delegation_set_id - |  | The DNS Zone delegation set ID.
dns_name - |  | The first name in the lexicographic ordering of domain names that you want the list_command to start listing from.
ec2_url string |  | Url to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required. Must be specified for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL environment variable, if any, is used.
health_check_id - |  | The ID of the health check. Required if `query` is set to `health_check` and `health_check_method` is set to `details` or `status` or `failure_reason`.
health_check_method - | Choices: list ← details status failure_reason count tags | This is used in conjunction with query: health_check. It allows for listing details, counts or tags of various health check details.
hosted_zone_id - |  | The Hosted Zone ID of the DNS zone. Required if `query` is set to `hosted_zone` and `hosted_zone_method` is set to `details`. Required if `query` is set to `record_sets`.
hosted_zone_method - | Choices: details list ← list_by_name count tags | This is used in conjunction with query: hosted_zone. It allows for listing details, counts or tags of various hosted zone details.
max_items - |  | Maximum number of items to return for various get/list requests.
next_marker - |  | Some requests such as list_command: hosted_zones will return a maximum number of entries - EG 100 or the number specified by max_items. If the number of entries exceeds this maximum another request can be sent using the NextMarker entry from the first response to get the next page of results.
profile string |  | Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
query - / required | Choices: change checker_ip_range health_check hosted_zone record_sets reusable_delegation_set | specifies the query action to take.
region string |  | The AWS region to use. If not specified then the value of the AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION environment variable, if any, is used. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region aliases: aws_region, ec2_region
resource_id - |  | The ID/s of the specified resource/s. Required if `query` is set to `health_check` and `health_check_method` is to `tags`. Required if `query` is set to `hosted_zone` and `hosted_zone_method` is to `tags`. aliases: resource_ids
security_token string |  | AWS STS security token. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN environment variable is used. aliases: access_token

validate_certs boolean | Choices: no yes ← | When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.

## Notes

Note

- If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence `AWS_URL` or `EC2_URL`, `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` or `AWS_ACCESS_KEY` or `EC2_ACCESS_KEY`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` or `AWS_SECRET_KEY` or `EC2_SECRET_KEY`, `AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN` or `EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN`, `AWS_REGION` or `EC2_REGION`
- Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
- `AWS_REGION` or `EC2_REGION` can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
