Synopsis

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

  • For state=present, creates a new tag in the specified tag namespace.

  • The tag requires either the OCID or the name of the tag namespace that will contain this tag definition.

  • You must specify a name for the tag, which must be unique across all tags in the tag namespace and cannot be changed. The name can contain any ASCII character except the space (_) or period (.) characters. Names are case insensitive. That means, for example, “myTag” and “mytag” are not allowed in the same namespace. If you specify a name that’s already in use in the tag namespace, a 409 error is returned.

  • The tag must have a description. It does not have to be unique, and you can change it with UpdateTag.

  • The tag must have a value type, which is specified with a validator. Tags can use either a static value or a list of possible values. Static values are entered by a user applying the tag to a resource. Lists are created by you and the user must apply a value from the list. Lists are validiated.

    • If no validator is set, the user applying the tag to a resource can type in a static value or leave the tag value empty. * If a validator is set, the user applying the tag to a resource must select from a list of values that you supply with EnumTagDefinitionValidator.

  • This resource has the following action operations in the oracle.oci.oci_identity_tag_actions module: bulk_delete, bulk_edit, import_standard_tags.

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
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.
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.

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.
name
string / required

tag_namespace_id
string / required
The OCID of the tag namespace.
tenancy
string
OCID of your tenancy. If not set, then the value of the OCI_TENANCY variable, if any, is used.
