- python >= 2.6

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
asn - |  | A private Autonomous System Number (ASN) for the Amazon side of a BGP session. The range is 64512 to 65534 for 16-bit ASNs and 4200000000 to 4294967294 for 32-bit ASNs.
auto_associate boolean | Choices: no yes ← | Enable or disable automatic association with the default association route table.
auto_attach boolean | Choices: no ← yes | Enable or disable automatic acceptance of attachment requests.
auto_propagate boolean | Choices: no yes ← | Enable or disable automatic propagation of routes to the default propagation route table.
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.
description string |  | The description of the transit gateway.
dns_support boolean | Choices: no yes ← | Whether to enable AWS DNS support.
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.
profile string |  | Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
purge_tags boolean | Choices: no yes ← | Whether to purge existing tags not included with tags argument.
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
state - | Choices: present ← absent | present to ensure resource is created. absent to remove resource.
tags - |  | A dictionary of resource tags
transit_gateway_id string |  | The ID of the transit gateway.
validate_certs boolean | Choices: no yes ← | When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.
vpn_ecmp_support boolean | Choices: no yes ← | Enable or disable Equal Cost Multipath Protocol support.
wait - | Default: "yes" | Whether to wait for status
wait_timeout - | Default: 300 | number of seconds to wait for status

## 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
