* vmware_guest: various fixes, improvements & additions
* Add template_flag attribute to define if the destination machine is a
template
* Add helper class to create:
* SCSI controller
* Disks
* Network devices
* New feature: create VM without using templates
* New feature: multiple NIC
* New feature: multiple disks
* New feature: custom SCSI controller types (default: paravirtual)
* New feature: NIC can now be E1000 or VMXNet3 (default)
* New feature: customize NIC mac address
* New feature: new disk option autoselect_datastore permit to select the less used datastore. If datastore field is provided, filter the datastore list before selection
* New feature: Implement disk resizing + addition when state=present and VM exists
* New feature: when state=present and vm exists, modify the current CPU, Memory and disk space
* New feature: add guest_id support permitting to customize & change current VM guest ID in VMWare
* New feature: resource pool support
* New feature: change VM configuration without recreating it (CPU, memory, disks, network, guest ID, resource pool)
* Add 'gatherfacts' state to gather facts on a VM instead of previous 'present' state ('present' ensure the VM configuration)
* Add PyVmomiCache class to cache read only object
* Various python code fixes
* Various documentation fixes
* esxi_hostname & cluster are now exclusive
* Drop ips attribute & set ip directly into networks
* Little performance fixes by removing some duplicate calls to VMWare API
* Python 3 portability fixes
* Create many functions to make the code maintainable
* Cleanup some useless attributes
* Add 'suspended' as desired state for VM
* Make guest_id, memory & CPU number optional in reconfiguration mode
* Note: guest_id is now mandatory to create a VM from scratch (not templating)
* Bux fixes + Do network IP optinal + Add network vlan option
* Refactoring: split readkeys() into readfile() and parsekeys()
* Refactoring: split writekeys() into writefile() and serialize()
* authorized_key: support --diff
* Refactoring: remove no-longer used readkeys()/writekeys()
* Integration test for authorized_key in check mode
This module managed DHCPd hosts using OMAPI protocol
Features:
* Add a host
* Remove a host
* Modify host IP (it's impossible to modify only mac or only hostname, this doesn't have any effect)
* Add custom DHCP attributes (at creation only)
- Consistent capitalisation in the descriptions
- Removed redundant 'optional' notes when this is covered by the Boolean `optional` column
- Clarified `instance_id` description
* set is_public 'true' or 'false'
Despite being a boolean property, https://github.com/melta/boto/blob/master/boto/ec2/image.py:63 sets is_public = True only if the argument is passed in as the string 'true'. Likewise for False/'false'.
This is a workaround for that bug in boto2, to allow the documented parameter to work with valid yaml values.
fixes#5600
* only set is_public if true
Support for the Google API and GCloud-Python Clients have been added.
The three libraries:
* GCloud-Python: A new function, get_google_cloud_credentials, should be used. The credentials-object returned can be passed to any gcloud-python client. Using this client library requires in the installation of gcloud-python. This is preferred library for new modules.
* Google API: A new function, gcp_api_auth, should be used to take advantage of services requiring this client. This client library should be used if the desired functionality is not available in GCloud-Python. Using this library requires the installation of google-api-python-client.
* libcloud: Existing function, gcp_connect, should be used. The interface and return values have not changed and existing modules (such as gce, gce_pd and gce_net) should work without modification. Note that the credentials-fetching code has been refactored out of gcp_connect so that can be reused by all connection functions. To use this function, apache-libcloud must be installed.
Import guards have been added and will only be trigger if a user tries to use a function that is missing dependencies.
Credential-specifying mechanisms (i.e, ansible module params, env vars and libcloud secrets.py) have not changed. They have been refactored and unit tests have been added to allow for changes going forward. We are deprecating (and removing in a subsequent release) the ability to specify credentials via the libcloud secrets file. Also, we have deprecated (and also plan to remove in a subsequent release) the ability to use a p12 pem file for a key - the JSON format is strongly preferred. Deprecation warnings have been added for both of these issues (see the Ansible docs on how to disable deprecation warnings).
Actual doc give this error
```
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {
"changed": false,
"failed": true,
"invocation": {
"module_args": {
"command": "facts",
"register": "new_database_facts"
},
"module_name": "rds"
},
"msg": "unsupported parameter for module: register"
}
```
Register should be at the module `rds` level and not at args level in this example :
```
- rds:
command: facts
instance_name: new-database
- register: new_database_facts
+ register: new_database_facts
```
The gce_tag module can support updating tags on multiple instances via an instance_pattern field. Full Python regex is supported in the instance_pattern field.
'instance_pattern' and 'instance_name' are mutually exclusive and one must be specified.
The integration test for the gce_tag module has been updated to support the instance_pattern parameter. Unit tests have been added to test the list-manipulation functionality.
Run the integration test with:
TEST_FLAGS='--tags "test_gce_tag"' make gce
Run the unit tests with:
python test/units/modules/cloud/google/test_gce_tag.py
