Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
api_user
string
The OCID of the user, on whose behalf, OCI APIs are invoked. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_ID environment variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the user is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). To get the user's OCID, please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm.
api_user_fingerprint
string
Fingerprint for the key pair being used. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_FINGERPRINT environment variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the key fingerprint is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). To get the key pair's fingerprint value please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm.
api_user_key_file
string
Full path and filename of the private key (in PEM format). If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_FILE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the private key is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). If the key is encrypted with a pass-phrase, the api_user_key_pass_phrase option must also be provided.
api_user_key_pass_phrase
string
Passphrase used by the key referenced in api_user_key_file, if it is encrypted. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_PASS_PHRASE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the key passphrase is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location).
auth_purpose
string
    Choices:
  • service_principal
The auth purpose which can be used in conjunction with 'auth_type=instance_principal'. The default auth_purpose for instance_principal is None.
auth_type
string
    Choices:
  • api_key ←
  • instance_principal
  • instance_obo_user
  • resource_principal
The type of authentication to use for making API requests. By default auth_type="api_key" based authentication is performed and the API key (see api_user_key_file) in your config file will be used. If this 'auth_type' module option is not specified, the value of the OCI_ANSIBLE_AUTH_TYPE, if any, is used. Use auth_type="instance_principal" to use instance principal based authentication when running ansible playbooks within an OCI compute instance.
cert_bundle

compartment_id
string
The OCID of the compartment.
Required for create using state=present.
config_file_location
string
Path to configuration file. If not set then the value of the OCI_CONFIG_FILE environment variable, if any, is used. Otherwise, defaults to ~/.oci/config.
config_profile_name
string
The profile to load from the config file referenced by config_file_location. If not set, then the value of the OCI_CONFIG_PROFILE environment variable, if any, is used. Otherwise, defaults to the "DEFAULT" profile in config_file_location.
defined_tags
dictionary
Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags.
Example: `{"Operations": {"CostCenter": "42"}}`
This parameter is updatable.
destination_region
string
The paired destination region for copying scheduled backups to. Example: `us-ashburn-1`. See Region Pairs for details about paired regions.
This parameter is updatable.
display_name
string
A user-friendly name. Does not have to be unique, and it's changeable. Avoid entering confidential information.
Required for create, update, delete when environment variable OCI_USE_NAME_AS_IDENTIFIER is set.
This parameter is updatable when OCI_USE_NAME_AS_IDENTIFIER is not set.

aliases: name
force_create
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Whether to attempt non-idempotent creation of a resource. By default, create resource is an idempotent operation, and doesn't create the resource if it already exists. Setting this option to true, forcefully creates a copy of the resource, even if it already exists.This option is mutually exclusive with key_by.
freeform_tags
dictionary
Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags.
Example: `{"Department": "Finance"}`
This parameter is updatable.
key_by
list / elements=string
The list of attributes of this resource which should be used to uniquely identify an instance of the resource. By default, all the attributes of a resource are used to uniquely identify a resource.
policy_id
string
The OCID of the volume backup policy.
Required for update using state=present when environment variable OCI_USE_NAME_AS_IDENTIFIER is not set.
Required for delete using state=absent when environment variable OCI_USE_NAME_AS_IDENTIFIER is not set.

aliases: id
region
string
The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure region to use for all OCI API requests. If not set, then the value of the OCI_REGION variable, if any, is used.

Please refer to https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/General/Concepts/regions.htm for more information on OCI regions.
schedules
list / elements=dictionary

This parameter is updatable.
backup_type
string / required
    Choices:
  • FULL
  • INCREMENTAL
The type of volume backup to create.
day_of_month
integer
The day of the month to schedule the volume backup.

offset_type
string
    Choices:
  • STRUCTURED
  • NUMERIC_SECONDS
Indicates how the offset is defined. If value is `STRUCTURED`, then `hourOfDay`, `dayOfWeek`, `dayOfMonth`, and `month` fields are used and `offsetSeconds` will be ignored in requests and users should ignore its value from the responses.

`dayOfWeek` is applicable for period `ONE_WEEK`.
`dayOfMonth` is applicable for periods `ONE_MONTH` and `ONE_YEAR`.
'month' is applicable for period 'ONE_YEAR'.
They will be ignored in the requests for inapplicable periods.
If value is `NUMERIC_SECONDS`, then `offsetSeconds` will be used for both requests and responses and the structured fields will be ignored in the requests and users should ignore their values from the responses.
For clients using older versions of Apis and not sending `offsetType` in their requests, the behaviour is just like `NUMERIC_SECONDS`.
period
string / required
    Choices:
  • ONE_HOUR
  • ONE_DAY
  • ONE_WEEK
  • ONE_MONTH
  • ONE_YEAR
The volume backup frequency.
retention_seconds

state
string
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
The state of the VolumeBackupPolicy.
Use state=present to create or update a VolumeBackupPolicy.
Use state=absent to delete a VolumeBackupPolicy.
tenancy
string
OCID of your tenancy. If not set, then the value of the OCI_TENANCY variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the tenancy OCID is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location).
