Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
all_lists
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Get all CloudFront lists that do not require parameters.
aws_access_key

Only used for boto3 based modules.
Note: The CA Bundle is read 'module' side and may need to be explicitly copied from the controller if not run locally.
aws_config
dictionary

debug_botocore_endpoint_logs
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←

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 -------- .. code-block:: yaml # Note: These examples do not set authentication details, see the AWS Guide for details. - name: Get a summary of distributions community.aws.cloudfront_info: summary: true register: result - name: Get information about a distribution community.aws.cloudfront_info: distribution: true distribution_id: my-cloudfront-distribution-id register: result_did - ansible.builtin.debug: msg: "{{ result_did['cloudfront']['my-cloudfront-distribution-id'] }}" - name: Get information about a distribution using the CNAME of the cloudfront distribution. community.aws.cloudfront_info: distribution: true domain_name_alias: www.my-website.com register: result_website - ansible.builtin.debug: msg: "{{ result_website['cloudfront']['www.my-website.com'] }}" # When the module is called as cloudfront_facts, return values are published # in ansible_facts['cloudfront'][] and can be used as follows. # Note that this is deprecated and will stop working in Ansible 2.13. - name: Gather facts community.aws.cloudfront_facts: distribution: true distribution_id: my-cloudfront-distribution-id - ansible.builtin.debug: msg: "{{ ansible_facts['cloudfront']['my-cloudfront-distribution-id'] }}" - community.aws.cloudfront_facts: distribution: true domain_name_alias: www.my-website.com - ansible.builtin.debug: msg: "{{ ansible_facts['cloudfront']['www.my-website.com'] }}" - name: Get all information about an invalidation for a distribution. community.aws.cloudfront_info: invalidation: true distribution_id: my-cloudfront-distribution-id invalidation_id: my-cloudfront-invalidation-id - name: Get all information about a CloudFront origin access identity. community.aws.cloudfront_info: origin_access_identity: true origin_access_identity_id: my-cloudfront-origin-access-identity-id - name: Get all information about lists not requiring parameters (ie. list_origin_access_identities, list_distributions, list_streaming_distributions) community.aws.cloudfront_info: origin_access_identity: true origin_access_identity_id: my-cloudfront-origin-access-identity-id - name: Get all information about lists not requiring parameters (ie. list_origin_access_identities, list_distributions, list_streaming_distributions) community.aws.cloudfront_info: all_lists: true Return Values ------------- Common return values are documented `here `_, the following are the fields unique to this module: .. raw:: html
