NOTE: If you are using a versions 7.0.0 and up: modules can replace resources if certain set parameters differ from the results found in the API!

Parameters that can trigger a resource replacement:

• common_name

• provider

• key_algorithm

• subject_alternative_names

state: present

  
name: Create Auto Certificate
ionoscloudsdk.ionoscloud.auto_certificate:
  certificate_name: 'autoCertificateTest'
  common_name: 'devsdkionos.net'
  provider: ''
  key_algorithm: 'rsa4096'
  allow_replace: true
register: auto_certificate

Available parameters for state present:

Name	Required	Description
certificate_name str	False	A certificate name used for management purposes.
common_name str	False	The common name (DNS) of the certificate to issue. The common name needs to be part of a zone in IONOS Cloud DNS.
provider str	False	The certificate provider used to issue the certificates.
key_algorithm str	False	The key algorithm used to generate the certificate.
subject_alternative_names list	False	Optional additional names to be added to the issued certificate. The additional names needs to be part of a zone in IONOS Cloud DNS.
allow_replace bool	False	Boolean indicating if the resource should be recreated when the state cannot be reached in another way. This may be used to prevent resources from being deleted from specifying a different value to an immutable property. An error will be thrown instead Default: False
api_url str	False	The Ionos API base URL.
certificate_fingerprint str	False	The Ionos API certificate fingerprint.
username str	False	The Ionos username. Overrides the IONOS_USERNAME environment variable.
password str	False	The Ionos password. Overrides the IONOS_PASSWORD environment variable.
token str	False	The Ionos token. Overrides the IONOS_TOKEN environment variable.
wait bool	False	Wait for the resource to be created before returning. Default: True Options: [True, False]
wait_timeout int	False	How long before wait gives up, in seconds. Default: 600
state str	False	Indicate desired state of the resource. Default: present Options: ['present', 'absent', 'update']

state: absent
