Hi folks,
The goal was to provision an rds instance using ansible, which was easy enough using this module: http://docs.ansible.com/rds_module.html
Unfortunately this module doesn’t have the option to allow the RDS to pass in publicly_accessible and ec2 defaults making it publicly accessible to false. We’d like this seed our data on instance creation, proper security groups are used ofcourse.
I tried modifying the module to include publicly_accessible where needed but it looks the boto rds doesn’t support it:
<localhost> REMOTE_MODULE rds size=10 password=VALUE_HIDDEN publicly_accessible=true command=create instance_type=db.m1.small instance_name=prod-rds2 engine_version=5.6 aws_access_key=AKIAJKMT2FVVHTPMEI6Q aws_secret_key=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 region=us-west-1 vpc_security_groups=sg-905fb6f5 db_engine=MySQL subnet=prod-rds username=admin <localhost> EXEC ['/bin/sh', '-c', 'mkdir -p $HOME/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1402373676.78-265376028601009 && chmod a+rx $HOME/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1402373676.78-265376028601009 && echo $HOME/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1402373676.78-265376028601009'] <localhost> PUT /tmp/tmpDEylEv TO /home/iain/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1402373676.78-265376028601009/rds <localhost> EXEC ['/bin/sh', '-c', u'LC_CTYPE=C LANG=C /usr/bin/python /home/iain/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1402373676.78-265376028601009/rds; rm -rf /home/iain/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1402373676.78-265376028601009/ >/dev/null 2>&1'] failed: [localhost] => (item={'username': 'admin', 'subnet': 'prod-public-rds', 'db_engine': 'MySQL', 'name': 'prod-rds2', 'instance_type': 'db.m1.small', 'password': 'omitted_from_mailing_list`', ‘engine_version’: 5.6, ‘size’: 10}) => {“failed”: true, “item”: {“db_engine”: “MySQL”, “engine_version”: 5.6, “instance_type”: “db.m1.small”, “name”: “prod-rds2”, “password”: “omitted_from_mailing_list”, “size”: 10, “subnet”: “prod-public-rds”, “username”: “admin”}, “parsed”: false}

`
Boto does have rds2 which does seem to support this: https://github.com/boto/boto/blob/develop/boto/rds2/layer1.py
Is anyone interested in creating an rds2 module in ansible for this? Is this the proper place to request such a module or are they generally user provided?
Thank you,
