## Synopsis

- This module can be used to search Amazon EFS file systems.

- This module was called `efs_facts` before Ansible 2.9, returning `ansible_facts`. Note that the efs_info module no longer returns `ansible_facts`!

Aliases: efs_facts

## Requirements

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

- boto

- boto3

- python >= 2.6

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
aws_access_key string |  | AWS access key. If not set then the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is used. aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key
aws_secret_key string |  | AWS secret key. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_KEY, or EC2_SECRET_KEY environment variable is used. aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key
debug_botocore_endpoint_logs boolean added in 2.8 | Choices: no ← yes | Use a botocore.endpoint logger to parse the unique (rather than total) "resource:action" API calls made during a task, outputing the set to the resource_actions key in the task results. Use the aws_resource_action callback to output to total list made during a playbook. The ANSIBLE_DEBUG_BOTOCORE_LOGS environment variable may also be used.
ec2_url string |  | Url to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required. Must be specified for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL environment variable, if any, is used.
id - |  | ID of Amazon EFS.
name - |  | Creation Token of Amazon EFS file system. aliases: creation_token
profile string |  | Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
region string |  | The AWS region to use. If not specified then the value of the AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION environment variable, if any, is used. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region aliases: aws_region, ec2_region
security_token string |  | AWS STS security token. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN environment variable is used. aliases: access_token
tags - |  | List of tags of Amazon EFS. Should be defined as dictionary.
targets - |  | List of targets on which to filter the returned results. Result must match all of the specified targets, each of which can be a security group ID, a subnet ID or an IP address.
validate_certs boolean | Choices: no yes ← | When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.

## Notes

Note

- If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence `AWS_URL` or `EC2_URL`, `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` or `AWS_ACCESS_KEY` or `EC2_ACCESS_KEY`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` or `AWS_SECRET_KEY` or `EC2_SECRET_KEY`, `AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN` or `EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN`, `AWS_REGION` or `EC2_REGION`

- Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html

- `AWS_REGION` or `EC2_REGION` can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file

## Examples

    - name: Find all existing efs
      efs_info:
      register: result

    - name: Find efs using id
      efs_info:
        id: fs-1234abcd
      register: result

    - name: Searching all EFS instances with tag Name = 'myTestNameTag', in subnet 'subnet-1a2b3c4d' and with security group 'sg-4d3c2b1a'
      efs_info:
        tags:
            name: myTestNameTag
        targets:
            - subnet-1a2b3c4d
            - sg-4d3c2b1a
      register: result

    - debug:
        msg: "{{ result['efs'] }}"
