Synopsis ¶

This module allows the user to perform create, delete & update operations on volume backups in OCI Block Volume service.

Requirements ¶

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

python >= 2.6
Python SDK for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure https://oracle-cloud-infrastructure-python-sdk.readthedocs.io

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
api_user		The OCID of the user, on whose behalf, OCI APIs are invoked. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_OCID environment variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the user is not specified through a configuration file (See `config_file_location`). To get the user's OCID, please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm.
api_user_fingerprint		Fingerprint for the key pair being used. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_FINGERPRINT environment variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the key fingerprint is not specified through a configuration file (See `config_file_location`). To get the key pair's fingerprint value please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm.
api_user_key_file		Full path and filename of the private key (in PEM format). If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_FILE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the private key is not specified through a configuration file (See `config_file_location`). If the key is encrypted with a pass-phrase, the `api_user_key_pass_phrase` option must also be provided.
api_user_key_pass_phrase		Passphrase used by the key referenced in `api_user_key_file`, if it is encrypted. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_PASS_PHRASE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the key passphrase is not specified through a configuration file (See `config_file_location`).
auth_type	Choices: api_key ← instance_principal	The type of authentication to use for making API requests. By default `auth_type="api_key"` based authentication is performed and the API key (see api_user_key_file) in your config file will be used. If this 'auth_type' module option is not specified, the value of the OCI_ANSIBLE_AUTH_TYPE, if any, is used. Use `auth_type="instance_principal"` to use instance principal based authentication when running ansible playbooks within an OCI compute instance.
config_file_location		Path to configuration file. If not set then the value of the OCI_CONFIG_FILE environment variable, if any, is used. Otherwise, defaults to ~/.oci/config.
config_profile_name	Default: DEFAULT	The profile to load from the config file referenced by `config_file_location`. If not set, then the value of the OCI_CONFIG_PROFILE environment variable, if any, is used. Otherwise, defaults to the "DEFAULT" profile in `config_file_location`.
defined_tags		Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/General/Concepts/resourcetags.htm.
display_name		A user-friendly name for the volume backup. Does not have to be unique and it's changeable. Avoid entering confidential information. aliases: name
force_create bool	Choices: no ← yes	Whether to attempt non-idempotent creation of a resource. By default, create resource is an idempotent operation, and doesn't create the resource if it already exists. Setting this option to true, forcefully creates a copy of the resource, even if it already exists.This option is mutually exclusive with key_by.
freeform_tags		Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/General/Concepts/resourcetags.htm.
key_by		The list of comma-separated attributes of this resource which should be used to uniquely identify an instance of the resource. By default, all the attributes of a resource except freeform_tags are used to uniquely identify a resource.
region		The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure region to use for all OCI API requests. If not set, then the value of the OCI_REGION variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the region is not specified through a configuration file (See `config_file_location`). Please refer to https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/General/Concepts/regions.htm for more information on OCI regions.
state	Choices: present ← absent	Use state=present to create or update a volume backup. Use state=absent to delete a volume backup.
tenancy		OCID of your tenancy. If not set, then the value of the OCI_TENANCY variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the tenancy OCID is not specified through a configuration file (See `config_file_location`). To get the tenancy OCID, please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm
type	Choices: FULL INCREMENTAL ←	The type of backup to create.
volume_backup_id		The OCID of the volume backup. Required to update a volume backup with state=present or to delete a volume backup with state=absent. aliases: id
volume_id		The OCID of the volume that needs to be backed up. Required to create a volume backup with state=present.
wait bool	Choices: no yes ←	Whether to wait for create or delete operation to complete.
wait_timeout	Default: 1200	Time, in seconds, to wait when wait=yes.
wait_until		The lifecycle state to wait for the resource to transition into when wait=yes. By default, when wait=yes, we wait for the resource to get into ACTIVE/ATTACHED/AVAILABLE/PROVISIONED/ RUNNING applicable lifecycle state during create operation & to get into DELETED/DETACHED/ TERMINATED lifecycle state during delete operation.
