delivery_frequency - | Choices: One_Hour Three_Hours Six_Hours Twelve_Hours TwentyFour_Hours | The frequency with which AWS Config delivers configuration snapshots.
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.

## 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

    - name: Create Delivery Channel for AWS Config
      aws_config_delivery_channel:
        name: test_delivery_channel
        state: present
        s3_bucket: 'test_aws_config_bucket'
        sns_topic_arn: 'arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789012:aws_config_topic:1234ab56-cdef-7g89-01hi-2jk34l5m67no'
