OpenTelekomCloud Keypair Role

This is an Ansible role that helps create a KeyPair, adds the public key to the Open Telekom Cloud Key Pair storage, and saves the private key locally as <prefix>KeyPair.pem.

Requirements

You need to have the openstacksdk installed on the machine where you are running this. Also, you need to be able to connect to the Open Telekom Cloud (OTC).

Role Variables

Here are the variables you can use, along with their default values (check defaults/main.yml for more details):

• Prefix for the resources:

  • prefix: test-

• Keypair name:

  • keypair_name: "{{ (prefix + 'KeyPair') }}"

• Where to save the private key:

  • keypair_private_key_dest: "{{ '~/.ssh/keypair.pem' }}"

• Force key deletion (set to true to delete):

  • force_delete_key: false

• State: whether to create (present) or delete (absent):

  • state: present

Dependencies

You need an active connection to Open Telekom Cloud, either by using the clouds.yaml file of OpenStackSDK or existing OpenStack environment variables.

Example Playbook

Here’s a simple example of how to use the role:

- hosts: localhost
  roles:
     - opentelekomcloud.keypair

If you want to change the default prefix for the public key name, you can do it like this:

- hosts: localhost
  roles:
    - { role: opentelekomcloud.keypair, keypair_name: 'My_beautiful_key' }

To delete a keypair, you can do it easily by setting state to absent:

- hosts: localhost
  roles:
    - { role: opentelekomcloud.keypair, state: 'absent' }

If you also want to delete the private key, set force_delete_key to true:

- hosts: localhost
  roles:
    - { role: opentelekomcloud.keypair, state: 'absent', force_delete_key: 'true' }
