## Synopsis

- Create, delete, or modify a Direct Connect link aggregation group.

## Requirements

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

- boto
- boto3
- botocore
- python >= 2.6

## 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
bandwidth - |  | The bandwidth of the link aggregation group.
connection_id - |  | A connection ID to link with the link aggregation group upon creation.
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.
delete_with_disassociation boolean | Choices: no yes | To be used with state=absent to delete connections after disassociating them with the LAG.
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.
force_delete boolean | Choices: no yes | This allows the minimum number of links to be set to 0, any hosted connections disassociated, and any virtual interfaces associated to the LAG deleted.
link_aggregation_group_id - |  | The ID of the Direct Connect link aggregation group.
location - |  | The location of the link aggregation group.
min_links - |  | The minimum number of physical connections that must be operational for the LAG itself to be operational.
name - |  | The name of the Direct Connect link aggregation group.
num_connections - |  | The number of connections with which to initialize the link aggregation group.
profile string |  | Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
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
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
state - | Choices: present absent | The state of the Direct Connect link aggregation group.
validate_certs boolean | Choices: no yes ← | When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.
wait boolean | Choices: no yes | Whether or not to wait for the operation to complete. May be useful when waiting for virtual interfaces to be deleted. May modify the time of waiting with `wait_timeout`.
wait_timeout - | Default: 120 | The duration in seconds to wait if wait is True.

## 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

## Examples

    # create a Direct Connect connection
    - aws_direct_connect_link_aggregation_group:
      state: present
      location: EqDC2
      lag_id: dxlag-xxxxxxxx
      bandwidth: 1Gbps

## Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key | Returned | Description
--- | --- | ---
aws_device string | when state=present | The AWS Direct Connection endpoint that hosts the LAG. Sample: EqSe2-1bwfvazist2k0
changed string | always | Whether or not the LAG has changed.
connections list | when state=present | A list of connections bundled by this LAG. Sample: {'connections': [{'aws_device': 'EqSe2-1bwfvazist2k0', 'bandwidth': '1Gbps', 'connection_id': 'dxcon-fgzjah5a', 'connection_name': 'Requested Connection 1 for Lag dxlag-fgtoh97h', 'connection_state': 'down', 'lag_id': 'dxlag-fgnsp4rq', 'location': 'EqSe2', 'owner_account': '448830907657', 'region': 'us-west-2'}]}
connections_bandwidth string | when state=present | The individual bandwidth of the physical connections bundled by the LAG. Sample: 1Gbps
lag_id string | when state=present | Unique identifier for the link aggregation group. Sample: dxlag-fgnsp4rq
lag_name string | when state=present | User-provided name for the link aggregation group.
lag_state string | when state=present | State of the LAG. Sample: pending
location string | when state=present | Where the connection is located. Sample: EqSe2
minimum_links integer | when state=present | The minimum number of physical connections that must be operational for the LAG itself to be operational.
number_of_connections integer | when state=present | The number of physical connections bundled by the LAG.
owner_account string | when state=present | Owner account ID of the LAG.
region string | when state=present | The region in which the LAG exists.
