## 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
bounce_notifications - |  | Setup the SNS topic used to report bounce notifications. If omitted, bounce notifications will not be delivered to a SNS topic. If bounce notifications are not delivered to a SNS topic, feedback_forwarding must be enabled.
| include_headers boolean | Choices: no ← yes | Whether or not to include headers when delivering to the SNS topic. If topic is not specified this will have no impact, but the SES setting is updated even if there is no topic.
| topic - |  | The ARN of the topic to send notifications to. If omitted, notifications will not be delivered to a SNS topic.
complaint_notifications - |  | Setup the SNS topic used to report complaint notifications. If omitted, complaint notifications will not be delivered to a SNS topic. If complaint notifications are not delivered to a SNS topic, feedback_forwarding must be enabled.
| include_headers boolean | Choices: no ← yes | Whether or not to include headers when delivering to the SNS topic. If topic is not specified this will have no impact, but the SES setting is updated even if there is no topic.
| topic - |  | The ARN of the topic to send notifications to. If omitted, notifications will not be delivered to a SNS topic.
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.
delivery_notifications - |  | Setup the SNS topic used to report delivery notifications. If omitted, delivery notifications will not be delivered to a SNS topic.
| include_headers boolean | Choices: no ← yes | Whether or not to include headers when delivering to the SNS topic. If topic is not specified this will have no impact, but the SES setting is updated even if there is no topic.
| topic - |  | The ARN of the topic to send notifications to. If omitted, notifications will not be delivered to a SNS topic.
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.
feedback_forwarding boolean | Choices: no yes ← | Whether or not to enable feedback forwarding. This can only be false if both bounce_notifications and complaint_notifications specify SNS topics.
identity - / required |  | This is the email address or domain to verify / delete. If this contains an '@' then it will be considered an email. Otherwise it will be considered a domain.
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
state - | Choices: present ← absent | Whether to create(or update) or delete the identity.
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
