Note
Requires pyrax
- name: Create DNS Records
hosts: all
gather_facts: False
tasks:
- name: Create A record
local_action:
module: rax_dns_record
credentials: ~/.raxpub
domain: example.org
name: www.example.org
data: "{{ rax_accessipv4 }}"
type: A
register: a_record
- name: Create PTR record
local_action:
module: rax_dns_record
credentials: ~/.raxpub
server: "{{ rax_id }}"
name: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
region: DFW
register: ptr_record
Note
It is recommended that plays utilizing this module be run with serial: 1 to avoid exceeding the API request limit imposed by the Rackspace CloudDNS API
Note
To manipulate a PTR record either loadbalancer or server must be supplied
Note
As of version 1.7, the type field is required and no longer defaults to an A record.
Note
PTR record support was added in version 1.7
Note
The following environment variables can be used, RAX_USERNAME, RAX_API_KEY, RAX_CREDS_FILE, RAX_CREDENTIALS, RAX_REGION.
Note
RAX_CREDENTIALS and RAX_CREDS_FILE points to a credentials file appropriate for pyrax. See https://github.com/rackspace/pyrax/blob/master/docs/getting_started.md#authenticating
Note
RAX_USERNAME and RAX_API_KEY obviate the use of a credentials file
Note
RAX_REGION defines a Rackspace Public Cloud region (DFW, ORD, LON, ...)
