Synopsis

  • This module allows the user to create, update and delete a Replication resource in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

  • For state=present, creates a new replication in the specified compartment. Replications are the primary resource that governs the policy of cross-region replication between source and target file systems. Replications are associated with a secondary resource called a ``ReplicationTarget` <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en- us/iaas/api/#/en/iaas/latest/ReplicationTarget>`_ located in another availability domain. The associated replication target resource is automatically created along with the replication resource. The replication retrieves the delta of data between two snapshots of a source file system and sends it to the associated ReplicationTarget, which retrieves the delta and applies it to the target file system. Only unexported file systems can be used as target file systems. For more information, see Using Replication.

  • For information about access control and compartments, see Overview of the IAM Service.

  • For information about availability domains, see Regions and Availability Domains. To get a list of availability domains, use the ListAvailabilityDomains operation in the Identity and Access Management Service API.

  • All Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Services resources, including replications, get an Oracle-assigned, unique ID called an Oracle Cloud Identifier (OCID). When you create a resource, you can find its OCID in the response. You can also retrieve a resource’s OCID by using a List API operation on that resource type, or by viewing the resource in the Console.

  • This resource has the following action operations in the oracle.oci.oci_file_storage_replication_actions module: change_compartment.

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.
availability_domain
string
The name of the availability domain.
Example: `Uocm:PHX-AD-1`
Required for create using state=present.
Required for update when environment variable OCI_USE_NAME_AS_IDENTIFIER is set.
Required for delete when environment variable OCI_USE_NAME_AS_IDENTIFIER is set.
cert_bundle
string
The full path to a CA certificate bundle to be used for SSL verification. This will override the default CA certificate bundle. If not set, then the value of the OCI_ANSIBLE_CERT_BUNDLE variable, if any, is used.
compartment_id
string
The OCID of the compartment that contains the replication.
Required for create using state=present.
Required for update when environment variable OCI_USE_NAME_AS_IDENTIFIER is set.
Required for delete when environment variable OCI_USE_NAME_AS_IDENTIFIER is set.
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.
delete_mode
string
    Choices:
  • FINISH_CYCLE_IF_CAPTURING_OR_APPLYING
  • ONE_MORE_CYCLE
  • FINISH_CYCLE_IF_APPLYING
You can choose a mode for deleting the replication resource. - `FINISH_CYCLE_IF_CAPTURING_OR_APPLYING` Before deleting, complete the current delta cycle. If cycle is idle, delete immediately. Safest option. - `ONE_MORE_CYCLE` Before deleting, complete the current delta cycle, and initiate one more cycle. If cycle is idle, initiate one more cycle. Use for lossless failover. - `FINISH_CYCLE_IF_APPLYING` Before deleting, finish applying. If cycle is idle or capturing, delete immediately. Fastest option.
display_name
string
A user-friendly name. It does not have to be unique, and it is changeable. Avoid entering confidential information. An associated replication target will also created with the same `displayName`. Example: `My replication`
Required for create, update, delete when environment variable OCI_USE_NAME_AS_IDENTIFIER is set.
