## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
account string |  | Account the ISO is related to.
api_http_method string | Choices: get post | HTTP method used to query the API endpoint. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_METHOD` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes. Fallback value is `get` if not specified.
api_key string |  | API key of the CloudStack API. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_KEY` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
api_region string | Default: "cloudstack" | Name of the ini section in the `cloustack.ini` file. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_REGION` env variable is considered.
api_secret string |  | Secret key of the CloudStack API. If not set, the `CLOUDSTACK_SECRET` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
api_timeout integer |  | HTTP timeout in seconds. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_TIMEOUT` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes. Fallback value is 10 seconds if not specified.
api_url string |  | URL of the CloudStack API e.g. https://cloud.example.com/client/api. If not given, the `CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT` env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
bootable boolean | Choices: no yes | Register the ISO to be bootable. Only used if state is present.
checksum string |  | The MD5 checksum value of this ISO. If set, we search by checksum instead of name.
cross_zones boolean added in 2.4 | Choices: no ← yes | Whether the ISO should be synced or removed across zones. Mutually exclusive with zone.
display_text string added in 2.4 |  | Display text of the ISO. If not specified, name will be used.
domain string |  | Domain the ISO is related to.
is_dynamically_scalable boolean | Choices: no yes | Register the ISO having XS/VMWare tools installed inorder to support dynamic scaling of VM cpu/memory. Only used if state is present.
is_featured boolean | Choices: no yes | Register the ISO to be featured. Only used if state is present.
is_public boolean | Choices: no yes | Register the ISO to be publicly available to all users. Only used if state is present.
is_ready boolean | Choices: no ← yes | This flag is used for searching existing ISOs. If set to `yes`, it will only list ISO ready for deployment e.g. successfully downloaded and installed. Recommended to set it to `no`.
iso_filter string | Choices: featured self ← selfexecutable sharedexecutable executable community | Name of the filter used to search for the ISO.
name string / required |  | Name of the ISO.
os_type string |  | Name of the OS that best represents the OS of this ISO. If the iso is bootable this parameter needs to be passed. Required if state is present.
poll_async boolean added in 2.3 | Choices: no yes ← | Poll async jobs until job has finished.
project string |  | Name of the project the ISO to be registered in.
state string | Choices: present ← absent | State of the ISO.
tags list added in 2.4 |  | List of tags. Tags are a list of dictionaries having keys key and value. To delete all tags, set a empty list e.g. tags: []. aliases: tag
url string |  | URL where the ISO can be downloaded from. Required if state is present.
zone string |  | Name of the zone you wish the ISO to be registered or deleted from. If not specified, first zone found will be used.

## Notes

Note

- Ansible uses the `cs` library’s configuration method if credentials are not provided by the arguments `api_url`, `api_key`, `api_secret`. Configuration is read from several locations, in the following order. The `CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT`, `CLOUDSTACK_KEY`, `CLOUDSTACK_SECRET` and `CLOUDSTACK_METHOD`. `CLOUDSTACK_TIMEOUT` environment variables. A `CLOUDSTACK_CONFIG` environment variable pointing to an `.ini` file. A `cloudstack.ini` file in the current working directory. A `.cloudstack.ini` file in the users home directory. Optionally multiple credentials and endpoints can be specified using ini sections in `cloudstack.ini`. Use the argument `api_region` to select the section name, default section is `cloudstack`. See https://github.com/exoscale/cs for more information.
- A detailed guide about cloudstack modules can be found in the CloudStack Cloud Guide.
- This module supports check mode.
