Synopsis ¶

This module allows the user to update a Vnic resource in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Requirements ¶

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

python >= 3.6
Python SDK for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure https://oracle-cloud-infrastructure-python-sdk.readthedocs.io

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 security_token	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.
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.
display_name string		A user-friendly name. Does not have to be unique, and it's changeable. Avoid entering confidential information. This parameter is updatable. aliases: name
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.
hostname_label string		The hostname for the VNIC's primary private IP. Used for DNS. The value is the hostname portion of the primary private IP's fully qualified domain name (FQDN) (for example, `bminstance1` in FQDN `bminstance1.subnet123.vcn1.oraclevcn.com`). Must be unique across all VNICs in the subnet and comply with RFC 952 and RFC 1123. The value appears in the Vnic object and also the PrivateIp object returned by ListPrivateIps and GetPrivateIp. For more information, see DNS in Your Virtual Cloud Network. This parameter is updatable.
nsg_ids list / elements=string		A list of the OCIDs of the network security groups (NSGs) to add the VNIC to. Setting this as an empty array removes the VNIC from all network security groups. If the VNIC belongs to a VLAN as part of the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution (instead of belonging to a subnet), the value of the `nsgIds` attribute is ignored. Instead, the VNIC belongs to the NSGs that are associated with the VLAN itself. See Vlan. For more information about NSGs, see NetworkSecurityGroup. This parameter is updatable.
realm_specific_endpoint_template_enabled boolean	Choices: no yes	Enable/Disable realm specific endpoint template for service client. By Default, realm specific endpoint template is disabled. If not set, then the value of the OCI_REALM_SPECIFIC_SERVICE_ENDPOINT_TEMPLATE_ENABLED variable, if any, is used.
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.
skip_source_dest_check boolean	Choices: no yes	Whether the source/destination check is disabled on the VNIC. Defaults to `false`, which means the check is performed. For information about why you would skip the source/destination check, see Using a Private IP as a Route Target. If the VNIC belongs to a VLAN as part of the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution (instead of belonging to a subnet), the value of the `skipSourceDestCheck` attribute is ignored. This is because the source/destination check is always disabled for VNICs in a VLAN. Example: `true` This parameter is updatable.
state string	Choices: present ←	The state of the Vnic. Use state=present to update an existing a Vnic.
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
vnic_id string / required		The OCID of the VNIC. aliases: id
wait boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Whether to wait for create or delete operation to complete.
wait_timeout integer		Time, in seconds, to wait when wait=yes. Defaults to 1200 for most of the services but some services might have a longer wait timeout.
