Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
alicloud_access_key		Aliyun Cloud access key. If not set then the value of environment variable `ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY`, `ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID` will be used instead. aliases: access_key_id, access_key
alicloud_region		The Aliyun Cloud region to use. If not specified then the value of environment variable `ALICLOUD_REGION`, `ALICLOUD_REGION_ID` will be used instead. aliases: region, region_id

creation_type	Choices: AutoCreated Attached ←	ECS instance creation type. Valid when `state='absent', instance_ids=None`. 'AutoCreated' for the ECS instance is automatically created by the Auto Scaling service in the scaling group. 'Attached' for the ECS instance is created outside the Auto Scaling service and manually attached to the scaling group. aliases: type
group_id required		The ID of a scaling group.
instance_ids		ID list of an ECS instance. At most 20 ECS instance supported. Required when `state='present'`.
state	Choices: present ← absent	present to add ECS instances; absent to remove ECS instances.

Notes ¶

Note

If both instance_ids and creation_type are not specified, the module will remove all of ECS instnaces in the specified Scaling Group when state=absent.
If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY or ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID, ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY or ALICLOUD_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, ALICLOUD_REGION or ALICLOUD_REGION_ID, ALICLOUD_SECURITY_TOKEN
ALICLOUD_REGION or ALICLOUD_REGION_ID can be typically be used to specify the ALICLOUD region, when required, but this can also be configured in the footmark config file
