oracle.oci.oci_network_route_table – Manage a RouteTable resource in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Note

This plugin is part of the oracle.oci collection (version 4.14.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install oracle.oci.

To use it in a playbook, specify: oracle.oci.oci_network_route_table.

New in version 2.9.0: of oracle.oci

Synopsis

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

  • For state=present, creates a new route table for the specified VCN. In the request you must also include at least one route rule for the new route table. For information on the number of rules you can have in a route table, see Service Limits. For general information about route tables in your VCN and the types of targets you can use in route rules, see Route Tables.

  • For the purposes of access control, you must provide the OCID of the compartment where you want the route table to reside. Notice that the route table 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 route table 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 route table, 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_route_table_actions module: change_compartment.

Requirements

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

Default:
"false"
Delete route rules from existing route table which are present in the route rules provided by route_rules. If delete_route_rules=yes, route rules provided by route_rules would be deleted, if they are part of existing route table. If they are not part of existing route table, they will be ignored. purge_route_rules and delete_route_rules are mutually exclusive.
This parameter is updatable.
display_name

This parameter is updatable.
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.
