• openshift >= 0.8.2

• python >= 2.7

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
affinity dictionary added in 2.9			Describes node affinity scheduling rules for the vm.
	hard dictionary		If the affinity requirements specified by this field are not met at scheduling time, the vm will not be scheduled onto the node. If the affinity requirements specified by this field cease to be met at some point during vm execution (e.g. due to a vm label update), the system may or may not try to eventually evict the vm from its node. When there are multiple elements, the lists of nodes corresponding to each term are intersected, i.e. all terms must be satisfied.
	soft dictionary		The scheduler will prefer to schedule vms to nodes that satisfy the affinity expressions specified by this field, but it may choose a node that violates one or more of the expressions. The node that is most preferred is the one with the greatest sum of weights, i.e. for each node that meets all of the scheduling requirements (resource request, requiredDuringScheduling affinity expressions, etc.), compute a sum by iterating through the elements of this field and adding weight to the sum if the node has vms which matches the corresponding term; the nodes with the highest sum are the most preferred.
anti_affinity dictionary added in 2.9			Describes vm anti-affinity scheduling rules e.g. avoid putting this vm in the same node, zone, etc. as some other vms.
	hard dictionary		If the anti-affinity requirements specified by this field are not met at scheduling time, the vm will not be scheduled onto the node. If the anti-affinity requirements specified by this field cease to be met at some point during vm execution (e.g. due to a vm label update), the system may or may not try to eventually evict the vm from its node. When there are multiple elements, the lists of nodes corresponding to each term are intersected, i.e. all terms must be satisfied.
	soft dictionary		The scheduler will prefer to schedule vms to nodes that satisfy the anti-affinity expressions specified by this field, but it may choose a node that violates one or more of the expressions. The node that is most preferred is the one with the greatest sum of weights, i.e. for each node that meets all of the scheduling requirements (resource request, requiredDuringScheduling anti-affinity expressions, etc.), compute a sum by iterating through the elements of this field and adding weight to the sum if the node has vms which matches the corresponding term; the nodes with the highest sum are the most preferred.
api_key string			Token used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_API_KEY environment variable.
bootloader string			Specify the bootloader of the virtual machine. All virtual machines use BIOS by default for booting.
ca_cert path			Path to a CA certificate used to authenticate with the API. The full certificate chain must be provided to avoid certificate validation errors. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_SSL_CA_CERT environment variable. aliases: ssl_ca_cert
client_cert path			Path to a certificate used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CERT_FILE environment variable. aliases: cert_file
client_key path			Path to a key file used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_KEY_FILE environment variable. aliases: key_file
cloud_init_nocloud dictionary			Represents a cloud-init NoCloud user-data source. The NoCloud data will be added as a disk to the virtual machine. A proper cloud-init installation is required inside the guest. More information context string		The name of a context found in the config file. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CONTEXT environment variable.
cpu_cores integer			Number of CPU cores.
cpu_features list			List of dictionary to fine-tune features provided by the selected CPU model. Note: Policy attribute can either be omitted or contain one of the following policies: force, require, optional, disable, forbid. Note: In case a policy is omitted for a feature, it will default to require. More information about policies: cpu_limit integer		Is converted to its millicore value and multiplied by 100. The resulting value is the total amount of CPU time that a container can use every 100ms. A virtual machine cannot use more than its share of CPU time during this interval.
cpu_model string			CPU model. You can check list of available models here: cpu_shares integer		Specify CPU shares.
disks list			List of dictionaries which specify disks of the virtual machine. A disk can be made accessible via four different types: disk, lun, cdrom, floppy. All possible configuration options are available in https://kubevirt.io/api-reference/master/definitions.html#_v1_volume.
force boolean		Choices: no ← yes	If set to no, and state is present, an existing object will be replaced.
headless -			Specify if the virtual machine should have attached a minimal Video and Graphics device configuration. By default a minimal Video and Graphics device configuration will be applied to the VirtualMachineInstance. The video device is vga compatible and comes with a memory size of 16 MB.
host string			Provide a URL for accessing the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_HOST environment variable.
hostname - added in 2.9			Specifies the hostname of the virtual machine. The hostname will be set either by dhcp, cloud-init if configured or virtual machine name will be used.
hugepage_size string			Specify huge page size.
interfaces list			An interface defines a virtual network interface of a virtual machine (also called a frontend). All possible configuration options interfaces are available in https://kubevirt.io/api-reference/master/definitions.html#_v1_network.
kubeconfig path			Path to an existing Kubernetes config file. If not provided, and no other connection options are provided, the openshift client will attempt to load the default configuration file from ~/.kube/config.json. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_KUBECONFIG environment variable.
labels dictionary			Labels are key/value pairs that are attached to virtual machines. Labels are intended to be used to specify identifying attributes of virtual machines that are meaningful and relevant to users, but do not directly imply semantics to the core system. Labels can be used to organize and to select subsets of virtual machines. Labels can be attached to virtual machines at creation time and subsequently added and modified at any time. More on labels that are used for internal implementation machine_type string		QEMU machine type is the actual chipset of the virtual machine.
memory string			The amount of memory to be requested by virtual machine. For example 1024Mi.
memory_limit string			The maximum memory to be used by virtual machine. For example 1024Mi.
merge_type list		Choices: json merge strategic-merge	Whether to override the default patch merge approach with a specific type. If more than one merge type is given, the merge types will be tried in order. Defaults to ['strategic-merge', 'merge'], which is ideal for using the same parameters on resource kinds that combine Custom Resources and built-in resources, as Custom Resource Definitions typically aren't updatable by the usual strategic merge. See name string / required		Name of the virtual machine replica set.
namespace string / required			Namespace where the virtual machine replica set exists.
node_affinity dictionary added in 2.9			Describes vm affinity scheduling rules e.g. co-locate this vm in the same node, zone, etc. as some other vms
	hard dictionary		If the affinity requirements specified by this field are not met at scheduling time, the vm will not be scheduled onto the node. If the affinity requirements specified by this field cease to be met at some point during vm execution (e.g. due to an update), the system may or may not try to eventually evict the vm from its node.
	soft dictionary		The scheduler will prefer to schedule vms to nodes that satisfy the affinity expressions specified by this field, but it may choose a node that violates one or more of the expressions. The node that is most preferred is the one with the greatest sum of weights, i.e. for each node that meets all of the scheduling requirements (resource request, requiredDuringScheduling affinity expressions, etc.), compute a sum by iterating through the elements of this field and adding weight to the sum if the node matches the corresponding match_expressions; the nodes with the highest sum are the most preferred.
password string			Provide a password for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PASSWORD environment variable. Please read the description of the username option for a discussion of when this option is applicable.
proxy - added in 2.9			The URL of an HTTP proxy to use for the connection. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY environment variable. Please note that this module does not pick up typical proxy settings from the environment (e.g. HTTP_PROXY).
replicas integer			Number of desired pods. This is a pointer to distinguish between explicit zero and not specified. Replicas defaults to 1 if newly created replica set.
resource_definition dictionary			A partial YAML definition of the object being created/updated. Here you can define Kubernetes resource parameters not covered by this module's parameters. NOTE: resource_definition has lower priority than module parameters. If you try to define e.g. metadata.namespace here, that value will be ignored and namespace used instead. aliases: definition, inline
selector dictionary / required			Selector is a label query over a set of virtual machine.
smbios_uuid string			In order to provide a consistent view on the virtualized hardware for the guest OS, the SMBIOS UUID can be set.
state string		Choices: present ← absent	Create or delete virtual machine replica sets.
subdomain - added in 2.9			If specified, the fully qualified virtual machine hostname will be hostname.subdomain.namespace.svc.cluster_domain. If not specified, the virtual machine will not have a domain name at all. The DNS entry will resolve to the virtual machine, no matter if the virtual machine itself can pick up a hostname.
tablets list			Specify tablets to be used as input devices
username string			Provide a username for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_USERNAME environment variable. Please note that this only works with clusters configured to use HTTP Basic Auth. If your cluster has a different form of authentication (e.g. OAuth2 in OpenShift), this option will not work as expected and you should look into the k8s_auth module, as that might do what you need.
validate_certs boolean		Choices: no yes	Whether or not to verify the API server's SSL certificates. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_VERIFY_SSL environment variable. aliases: verify_ssl
wait boolean		Choices: no yes ←	True if the module should wait for the resource to get into desired state.
wait_sleep - added in 2.9		Default: 5	Number of seconds to sleep between checks.
wait_timeout integer		Default: 120	The amount of time in seconds the module should wait for the resource to get into desired state.

Notes

Note

• The OpenShift Python client wraps the K8s Python client, providing full access to all of the APIS and models available on both platforms. For API version details and additional information visit https://github.com/openshift/openshift-restclient-python

• To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when validate_certs is True, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via ca_cert or in the kubeconfig file.

• In order to use this module you have to install Openshift Python SDK. To ensure it’s installed with correct version you can create the following task: pip: name=openshift>=0.8.2
