Note

  • The max items of route entry no more than 48 in the same route table.
  • The destination_cidrblock can’t have the same cidr block as vswitch and can’t belong to its in the same vpc.
  • The destination_cidrblock can’t be 100.64.0.0/10 and can’t belong to it.
  • When state is ‘list’, the parameters ‘route_table_id’, ‘destination_cidrblock’ and ‘nexthop_id’ are optional.
  • 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
