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 - added in 2.6 |  | The reusable delegation set ID to be associated with the zone. Note that you can't associate a reusable delegation set with a private hosted zone.
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.
hosted_zone_id - added in 2.4 |  | The unique zone identifier you want to delete or "all" if there are many zones with the same domain name. Required if there are multiple zones identified with the above options
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

whether or not the zone should exist or not

validate_certs
boolean

Choices:
- no
- yes ←

When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.

vpc_id - |  | The VPC ID the zone should be a part of (if this is going to be a private zone)
vpc_region - |  | The VPC Region the zone should be a part of (if this is going to be a private zone)
zone - / required |  | The DNS zone record (eg: foo.com.)

## 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

      route53_zone:

        vpc_id: '{{ myvpc_id }}'
        vpc_region: us-west-2
        comment: developer domain

    - name: create a public zone associated with a specific reusable delegation set
      route53_zone:
