New in version 2.9.0: of oracle.oci

Synopsis

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

  • For state=present, creates a new set of DHCP options for the specified VCN. For more information, see DhcpOptions.

  • For the purposes of access control, you must provide the OCID of the compartment where you want the set of DHCP options to reside. Notice that the set of options doesn’t have to be in the same compartment as the VCN, subnets, or other Networking Service components. If you’re not sure which compartment to use, put the set of DHCP options in the same compartment as the VCN. For more information about compartments and access control, see Overview of the IAM Service. For information about OCIDs, see Resource Identifiers.

  • You may optionally specify a display name for the set of DHCP options, otherwise a default is provided. It does not have to be unique, and you can change it. Avoid entering confidential information.

  • This resource has the following action operations in the oracle.oci.oci_network_dhcp_options_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_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_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 to contain the set of DHCP options.
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.
dhcp_id
string
The OCID for the set of DHCP options.
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
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
domain_name_type
string
    Choices:
  • SUBNET_DOMAIN
  • VCN_DOMAIN
  • CUSTOM_DOMAIN
The search domain name type of DHCP options
This parameter is updatable.
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.
options
list / elements=dictionary
A set of DHCP options.
Required for create using state=present.
This parameter is updatable.
custom_dns_servers
list / elements=string
If you set `serverType` to `CustomDnsServer`, specify the IP address of at least one DNS server of your choice (three maximum).
Applicable when type is 'DomainNameServer'
search_domain_names
list / elements=string
A single search domain name according to RFC 952 and RFC 1123. During a DNS query, the OS will append this search domain name to the value being queried.
If you set DhcpDnsOption to `VcnLocalPlusInternet`, and you assign a DNS label to the VCN during creation, the search domain name in the VCN's default set of DHCP options is automatically set to the VCN domain (for example, `vcn1.oraclevcn.com`).
If you don't want to use a search domain name, omit this option from the set of DHCP options. Do not include this option with an empty list of search domain names, or with an empty string as the value for any search domain name.
Required when type is 'SearchDomain'
server_type
string
    Choices:
  • VcnLocal
  • VcnLocalPlusInternet
  • CustomDnsServer
* **VcnLocal:** Reserved for future use.
* **VcnLocalPlusInternet:** Also referred to as "Internet and VCN Resolver". Instances can resolve internet hostnames (no internet gateway is required), and can resolve hostnames of instances in the VCN. This is the default value in the default set of DHCP options in the VCN. For the Internet and VCN Resolver to work across the VCN, there must also be a DNS label set for the VCN, a DNS label set for each subnet, and a hostname for each instance. The Internet and VCN Resolver also enables reverse DNS lookup, which lets you determine the hostname corresponding to the private IP address. For more information, see DNS in Your Virtual Cloud Network.
* **CustomDnsServer:** Instances use a DNS server of your choice (three maximum).
Required when type is 'DomainNameServer'
type
string / required
    Choices:
  • DomainNameServer
  • SearchDomain
The specific DHCP option. Either `DomainNameServer` (for DhcpDnsOption) or `SearchDomain` (for DhcpSearchDomainOption).
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. This option is required if the region is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). Please refer to https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/General/Concepts/regions.htm for more information on OCI regions.
state
string
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
The state of the DhcpOptions.
Use state=present to create or update a DhcpOptions.
Use state=absent to delete a DhcpOptions.
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). To get the tenancy OCID, please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm
vcn_id

    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
Whether to wait for create or delete operation to complete.
