-Alibaba Cloud Compute Services Guide
-====================================
-
-Introduction
-````````````
-
-The community.general collection contains several modules for controlling and managing Alibaba Cloud Compute Services (Alicloud).  This guide
-explains how to use the Alicloud Ansible modules together.
-
-All Alicloud modules require ``footmark`` - install it on your control machine with ``pip install footmark``.
-
-Cloud modules, including Alicloud modules, are usually executed on your local machine (the control machine) with ``connection: local``, rather than on remote machines defined in your hosts.
-
-Normally, you'll use the following pattern for plays that provision Alicloud resources:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    - hosts: localhost
-      connection: local
-      vars:
-        - ...
-      tasks:
-        - ...
-
-Authentication
-``````````````
-
-You can specify your Alicloud authentication credentials (access key and secret key) by passing them as
-environment variables or by storing them in a vars file.
-
-To pass authentication credentials as environment variables:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    export ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY='Alicloud123'
-    export ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY='AlicloudSecret123'
-
-To store authentication credentials in a vars file, encrypt them with :ref:`Ansible Vault <vault>` to keep them secure, then list them:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    ---
-    alicloud_access_key: "--REMOVED--"
-    alicloud_secret_key: "--REMOVED--"
-
-Note that if you store your credentials in a vars file, you need to refer to them in each Alicloud module. For example:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - community.general.ali_instance:
-        alicloud_access_key: "{{ alicloud_access_key }}"
-        alicloud_secret_key: "{{ alicloud_secret_key }}"
-        image_id: "..."
-
-Provisioning
-````````````
-
-Alicloud modules create Alicloud ECS instances (:ansplugin:`community.general.ali_instance#module`) and retrieve information on these (:ansplugin:`community.general.ali_instance_info#module`).
-
-You can use the ``count`` parameter to control the number of resources you create or terminate. For example, if you want exactly 5 instances tagged ``NewECS``, set the ``count`` of instances to 5 and the ``count_tag`` to ``NewECS``, as shown in the last task of the example playbook below. If there are no instances with the tag ``NewECS``, the task creates 5 new instances. If there are 2 instances with that tag, the task creates 3 more. If there are 8 instances with that tag, the task terminates 3 of those instances.
-
-If you do not specify a ``count_tag``, the task creates the number of instances you specify in ``count`` with the ``instance_name`` you provide.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    # alicloud_setup.yml
-
-    - hosts: localhost
-      connection: local
-
-      tasks:
-        - name: Create a set of instances
-          community.general.ali_instance:
-             instance_type: ecs.n4.small
-             image_id: "{{ ami_id }}"
-             instance_name: "My-new-instance"
-             instance_tags:
-                 Name: NewECS
-                 Version: 0.0.1
-             count: 5
-             count_tag:
-                 Name: NewECS
-             allocate_public_ip: true
-             max_bandwidth_out: 50
-          register: create_instance
-
-In the example playbook above, data about the instances created by this playbook is saved in the variable defined by the ``register`` keyword in the task.
-
-Each Alicloud module offers a variety of parameter options. Not all options are demonstrated in the above example. See each individual module for further details and examples.

-Online.net Guide
-****************
-
-Introduction
-============
-
-Online is a French hosting company mainly known for providing bare-metal servers named Dedibox.
-Check it out: `https://www.online.net/en <https://www.online.net/en>`_
-
-Dynamic inventory for Online resources
---------------------------------------
-
-Ansible has a dynamic inventory plugin that can list your resources.
-
-1. Create a YAML configuration such as ``online_inventory.yml`` with this content:
-
-   .. code-block:: yaml
-
-       plugin: community.general.online
-
-2. Set your ``ONLINE_TOKEN`` environment variable with your token.
-
-   You need to open an account and log into it before you can get a token.
-   You can find your token at the following page: `https://console.online.net/en/api/access <https://console.online.net/en/api/access>`_
-
-3. You can test that your inventory is working by running:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-       $ ansible-inventory -v -i online_inventory.yml --list
-
-
-4. Now you can run your playbook or any other module with this inventory:
-
-   .. code-block:: ansible-output
-
-       $ ansible all -i online_inventory.yml -m ping
-       sd-96735 | SUCCESS => {
-           "changed": false,
-           "ping": "pong"
-       }

-Packet.net Guide
-**********************************
-
-Introduction
-============
-
-`Packet.net <https://packet.net>`_ is a bare metal infrastructure host that is supported by the community.general collection through six cloud modules. The six modules are:
-
-- :ansplugin:`community.general.packet_device#module`: manages servers on Packet. You can use this module to create, restart and delete devices.
-- :ansplugin:`community.general.packet_ip_subnet#module`: assign IP subnet to a bare metal server
-- :ansplugin:`community.general.packet_project#module`: create/delete a project in Packet host
-- :ansplugin:`community.general.packet_sshkey#module`: adds a public SSH key from file or value to the Packet infrastructure. Every subsequently-created device will have this public key installed in .ssh/authorized_keys.
-- :ansplugin:`community.general.packet_volume#module`: create/delete a volume in Packet host
-- :ansplugin:`community.general.packet_volume_attachment#module`: attach/detach a volume to a device in the Packet host
-
-Note, this guide assumes you are familiar with Ansible and how it works. If you are not, have a look at their :ref:`docs <ansible_documentation>` before getting started.
-
-Requirements
-============
-
-The Packet modules connect to the Packet API using the `packet-python package <https://pypi.org/project/packet-python/>`_. You can install it with pip:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ pip install packet-python
-
-In order to check the state of devices created by Ansible on Packet, it is a good idea to install one of the `Packet CLI clients <https://www.packet.net/developers/integrations/>`_. Otherwise you can check them through the `Packet portal <https://app.packet.net/portal>`_.
-
-To use the modules you will need a Packet API token. You can generate an API token through the Packet portal `here <https://app.packet.net/portal#/api-keys>`__. The simplest way to authenticate yourself is to set the Packet API token in an environment variable:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ export PACKET_API_TOKEN=Bfse9F24SFtfs423Gsd3ifGsd43sSdfs
-
-If you are not comfortable exporting your API token, you can pass it as a parameter to the modules.
-
-On Packet, devices and reserved IP addresses belong to `projects <https://www.packet.com/developers/api/#projects>`_. In order to use the packet_device module, you need to specify the UUID of the project in which you want to create or manage devices. You can find a project's UUID in the Packet portal `here <https://app.packet.net/portal#/projects/list/table/>`_ (it is just under the project table) or through one of the available `CLIs <https://www.packet.net/developers/integrations/>`_.
-
-
-If you want to use a new SSH key pair in this tutorial, you can generate it to ``./id_rsa`` and ``./id_rsa.pub`` as:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ./id_rsa
-
-If you want to use an existing key pair, just copy the private and public key over to the playbook directory.
-
-
-Device Creation
-===============
-
-The following code block is a simple playbook that creates one `Type 0 <https://www.packet.com/cloud/servers/t1-small/>`_ server (the ``plan`` parameter). You have to supply ``plan`` and ``operating_system``. ``location`` defaults to ``ewr1`` (Parsippany, NJ). You can find all the possible values for the parameters through a `CLI client <https://www.packet.net/developers/integrations/>`_.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    # playbook_create.yml
-
-    - name: Create Ubuntu device
-      hosts: localhost
-      tasks:
-
-      - community.general.packet_sshkey:
-          key_file: ./id_rsa.pub
-          label: tutorial key
-
-      - community.general.packet_device:
-          project_id: <your_project_id>
-          hostnames: myserver
-          operating_system: ubuntu_16_04
-          plan: baremetal_0
-          facility: sjc1
-
-After running ``ansible-playbook playbook_create.yml``, you should have a server provisioned on Packet. You can verify through a CLI or in the `Packet portal <https://app.packet.net/portal#/projects/list/table>`__.
-
-If you get an error with the message "failed to set machine state present, error: Error 404: Not Found", please verify your project UUID.
-
-
-Updating Devices
-================
-
-The two parameters used to uniquely identify Packet devices are: "device_ids" and "hostnames". Both parameters accept either a single string (later converted to a one-element list), or a list of strings.
-
-The ``device_ids`` and ``hostnames`` parameters are mutually exclusive. The following values are all acceptable:
-
-- device_ids: ``a27b7a83-fc93-435b-a128-47a5b04f2dcf``
-
-- hostnames: ``mydev1``
-
-- device_ids: ``[a27b7a83-fc93-435b-a128-47a5b04f2dcf, 4887130f-0ccd-49a0-99b0-323c1ceb527b]``
-
-- hostnames: ``[mydev1, mydev2]``
-
-In addition, hostnames can contain a special ``%d`` formatter along with a ``count`` parameter that lets you easily expand hostnames that follow a simple name and number pattern; in other words, ``hostnames: "mydev%d", count: 2`` will expand to [mydev1, mydev2].
-
-If your playbook acts on existing Packet devices, you can only pass the ``hostname`` and ``device_ids`` parameters. The following playbook shows how you can reboot a specific Packet device by setting the ``hostname`` parameter:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    # playbook_reboot.yml
-
-    - name: reboot myserver
-      hosts: localhost
-      tasks:
-
-      - community.general.packet_device:
-          project_id: <your_project_id>
-          hostnames: myserver
-          state: rebooted
-
-You can also identify specific Packet devices with the ``device_ids`` parameter. The device's UUID can be found in the `Packet Portal <https://app.packet.net/portal>`_ or by using a `CLI <https://www.packet.net/developers/integrations/>`_. The following playbook removes a Packet device using the ``device_ids`` field:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    # playbook_remove.yml
-
-    - name: remove a device
-      hosts: localhost
-      tasks:
-
-      - community.general.packet_device:
-          project_id: <your_project_id>
-          device_ids: <myserver_device_id>
-          state: absent
-
-
-More Complex Playbooks
-======================
-
-In this example, we will create a CoreOS cluster with `user data <https://packet.com/developers/docs/servers/key-features/user-data/>`_.
-
-
-The CoreOS cluster will use `etcd <https://etcd.io/>`_ for discovery of other servers in the cluster. Before provisioning your servers, you will need to generate a discovery token for your cluster:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ curl -w "\n" 'https://discovery.etcd.io/new?size=3'
-
-The following playbook will create an SSH key, 3 Packet servers, and then wait until SSH is ready (or until 5 minutes passed). Make sure to substitute the discovery token URL in ``user_data``, and the ``project_id`` before running ``ansible-playbook``. Also, feel free to change ``plan`` and ``facility``.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    # playbook_coreos.yml
-
-    - name: Start 3 CoreOS nodes in Packet and wait until SSH is ready
-      hosts: localhost
-      tasks:
-
-      - community.general.packet_sshkey:
-          key_file: ./id_rsa.pub
-          label: new
-
-      - community.general.packet_device:
-          hostnames: [coreos-one, coreos-two, coreos-three]
-          operating_system: coreos_beta
-          plan: baremetal_0
-          facility: ewr1
-          project_id: <your_project_id>
-          wait_for_public_IPv: 4
-          user_data: |
-            #cloud-config
-            coreos:
-              etcd2:
-                discovery: https://discovery.etcd.io/<token>
-                advertise-client-urls: http://$private_ipv4:2379,http://$private_ipv4:4001
-                initial-advertise-peer-urls: http://$private_ipv4:2380
-                listen-client-urls: http://0.0.0.0:2379,http://0.0.0.0:4001
-                listen-peer-urls: http://$private_ipv4:2380
-              fleet:
-                public-ip: $private_ipv4
-              units:
-                - name: etcd2.service
-                  command: start
-                - name: fleet.service
-                  command: start
-        register: newhosts
-
-      - name: wait for ssh
-        ansible.builtin.wait_for:
-          delay: 1
-          host: "{{ item.public_ipv4 }}"
-          port: 22
-          state: started
-          timeout: 500
-        loop: "{{ newhosts.results[0].devices }}"
-
-
-As with most Ansible modules, the default states of the Packet modules are idempotent, meaning the resources in your project will remain the same after re-runs of a playbook. Thus, we can keep the ``packet_sshkey`` module call in our playbook. If the public key is already in your Packet account, the call will have no effect.
-
-The second module call provisions 3 Packet Type 0 (specified using the ``plan`` parameter) servers in the project identified by the ``project_id`` parameter. The servers are all provisioned with CoreOS beta (the ``operating_system`` parameter) and are customized with cloud-config user data passed to the ``user_data`` parameter.
-
-The ``packet_device`` module has a ``wait_for_public_IPv`` that is used to specify the version of the IP address to wait for (valid values are ``4`` or ``6`` for IPv4 or IPv6). If specified, Ansible will wait until the GET API call for a device contains an Internet-routeable IP address of the specified version. When referring to an IP address of a created device in subsequent module calls, it is wise to use the ``wait_for_public_IPv`` parameter, or ``state: active`` in the packet_device module call.
-
-Run the playbook:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ ansible-playbook playbook_coreos.yml
-
-Once the playbook quits, your new devices should be reachable through SSH. Try to connect to one and check if etcd has started properly:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    tomk@work $ ssh -i id_rsa core@$one_of_the_servers_ip
-    core@coreos-one ~ $ etcdctl cluster-health
-
-If you have any questions or comments let us know! help@packet.net

-
-
-.. note::
-   This guide assumes you are familiar with Ansible and how it works.
-   If you are not, have a look at :ref:`ansible_documentation` before getting started.
-
-Requirements
-============
-
-The Scaleway modules and inventory script connect to the Scaleway API using `Scaleway REST API <https://developer.scaleway.com>`_.
-To use the modules and inventory script you will need a Scaleway API token.
-You can generate an API token through the `Scaleway console's credential page <https://cloud.scaleway.com/#/credentials>`__.
-The simplest way to authenticate yourself is to set the Scaleway API token in an environment variable:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ export SCW_TOKEN=00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
-
-If you are not comfortable exporting your API token, you can pass it as a parameter to the modules using the ``api_token`` argument.
-
-If you want to use a new SSH key pair in this tutorial, you can generate it to ``./id_rsa`` and ``./id_rsa.pub`` as:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ./id_rsa
-
-If you want to use an existing key pair, just copy the private and public key over to the playbook directory.
-
-How to add an SSH key?
-======================
-
-Connection to Scaleway Compute nodes use Secure Shell.
-SSH keys are stored at the account level, which means that you can reuse the same SSH key in multiple nodes.
-The first step to configure Scaleway compute resources is to have at least one SSH key configured.
-
-:ansplugin:`community.general.scaleway_sshkey#module` is a module that manages SSH keys on your Scaleway account.
-You can add an SSH key to your account by including the following task in a playbook:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: "Add SSH key"
-      community.general.scaleway_sshkey:
-        ssh_pub_key: "ssh-rsa AAAA..."
-        state: "present"
-
-The ``ssh_pub_key`` parameter contains your ssh public key as a string. Here is an example inside a playbook:
-
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Test SSH key lifecycle on a Scaleway account
-      hosts: localhost
-      gather_facts: false
-      environment:
-        SCW_API_KEY: ""
-
-      tasks:
-
-        - community.general.scaleway_sshkey:
-            ssh_pub_key: "ssh-rsa AAAAB...424242 developer@example.com"
-            state: present
-          register: result
-
-        - ansible.builtin.assert:
-            that:
-              - result is success and result is changed
-
-How to create a compute instance?
-=================================
-
-Now that we have an SSH key configured, the next step is to spin up a server!
-:ansplugin:`community.general.scaleway_compute#module` is a module that can create, update and delete Scaleway compute instances:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Create a server
-      community.general.scaleway_compute:
-        name: foobar
-        state: present
-        image: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
-        organization: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
-        region: ams1
-        commercial_type: START1-S
-
-Here are the parameter details for the example shown above:
-
-- ``name`` is the name of the instance (the one that will show up in your web console).
-- ``image`` is the UUID of the system image you would like to use.
-  A list of all images is available for each availability zone.
-- ``organization`` represents the organization that your account is attached to.
-- ``region`` represents the Availability Zone which your instance is in (for this example, ``par1`` and ``ams1``).
-- ``commercial_type`` represents the name of the commercial offers.
-  You can check out the Scaleway pricing page to find which instance is right for you.
-
-Take a look at this short playbook to see a working example using ``scaleway_compute``:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Test compute instance lifecycle on a Scaleway account
-      hosts: localhost
-      gather_facts: false
-      environment:
-        SCW_API_KEY: ""
-
-      tasks:
-
-        - name: Create a server
-          register: server_creation_task
-          community.general.scaleway_compute:
-            name: foobar
-            state: present
-            image: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
-            organization: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
-            region: ams1
-            commercial_type: START1-S
-            wait: true
-
-        - ansible.builtin.debug:

-
-        - ansible.builtin.assert:

-              - server_creation_task is changed
-
-        - name: Run it
-          community.general.scaleway_compute:

-            state: running
-            image: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444

-Dynamic Inventory Plugin
-========================
-
-Ansible ships with :ansplugin:`community.general.scaleway#inventory`.
-You can now get a complete inventory of your Scaleway resources through this plugin and filter it on
-different parameters (``regions`` and ``tags`` are currently supported).
-
-Let us create an example!
-Suppose that we want to get all hosts that got the tag web_server.
-Create a file named ``scaleway_inventory.yml`` with the following content:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    plugin: community.general.scaleway
-    regions:
-      - ams1
-      - par1
-    tags:
-      - web_server
-
-This inventory means that we want all hosts that got the tag ``web_server`` on the zones ``ams1`` and ``par1``.
-Once you have configured this file, you can get the information using the following command:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ ansible-inventory --list -i scaleway_inventory.yml
-
-The output will be:
-
-.. code-block:: json
-
-    {
-        "_meta": {
-            "hostvars": {
-                "dd8e3ae9-0c7c-459e-bc7b-aba8bfa1bb8d": {
-                    "ansible_verbosity": 6,
-                    "arch": "x86_64",
-                    "commercial_type": "START1-S",
-                    "hostname": "foobar",
-                    "ipv4": "192.0.2.1",
-                    "organization": "00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444",
-                    "state": "running",
-                    "tags": [
-                        "web_server"
-                    ]
-                }
-            }
-        },
-        "all": {
-            "children": [
-                "ams1",
-                "par1",
-                "ungrouped",
-                "web_server"
-            ]
-        },
-        "ams1": {},
-        "par1": {
-            "hosts": [
-                "dd8e3ae9-0c7c-459e-bc7b-aba8bfa1bb8d"
-            ]
-        },
-        "ungrouped": {},
-        "web_server": {
-            "hosts": [
-                "dd8e3ae9-0c7c-459e-bc7b-aba8bfa1bb8d"
-            ]
-        }
-    }
-
-As you can see, we get different groups of hosts.
-``par1`` and ``ams1`` are groups based on location.
-``web_server`` is a group based on a tag.
-
-In case a filter parameter is not defined, the plugin supposes all values possible are wanted.
-This means that for each tag that exists on your Scaleway compute nodes, a group based on each tag will be created.
-
-Scaleway S3 object storage
-==========================
-
-`Object Storage <https://www.scaleway.com/object-storage>`_ allows you to store any kind of objects (documents, images, videos, and so on).
-As the Scaleway API is S3 compatible, Ansible supports it natively through the amazon.aws modules: :ansplugin:`amazon.aws.s3_bucket#module`, :ansplugin:`amazon.aws.s3_object#module`.
-
-You can find many examples in the `scaleway_s3 integration tests <https://github.com/ansible/ansible-legacy-tests/tree/devel/test/legacy/roles/scaleway_s3>`_.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - hosts: myserver
-      vars:
-        scaleway_region: nl-ams
-        s3_url: https://s3.nl-ams.scw.cloud

-      tasks:
-       # use a fact instead of a variable, otherwise template is evaluate each time variable is used
-        - ansible.builtin.set_fact:
-            bucket_name: "{{ 99999999 | random | to_uuid }}"
-
-        # "requester_pays:" is mandatory because Scaleway does not implement related API
-        # another way is to use amazon.aws.s3_object and "mode: create" !
-        - amazon.aws.s3_bucket:

-  - This lookup will use an existing 1Password session if one exists. If not, and you have already
-    performed an initial sign in (meaning C(~/.op/config), C(~/.config/op/config) or C(~/.config/.op/config) exists), then only the
-    O(master_password) is required. You may optionally specify O(subdomain) in this scenario, otherwise the last used subdomain will be used by C(op).
-  - This lookup can perform an initial login by providing O(subdomain), O(username), O(secret_key), and O(master_password).
-  - Can target a specific account by providing the O(account_id).
-  - Due to the B(very) sensitive nature of these credentials, it is B(highly) recommended that you only pass in the minimal credentials
-    needed at any given time. Also, store these credentials in an Ansible Vault using a key that is equal to or greater in strength
-    to the 1Password master password.
-  - This lookup stores potentially sensitive data from 1Password as Ansible facts.
-    Facts are subject to caching if enabled, which means this data could be stored in clear text
-    on disk or in a database.
-  - Tested with C(op) version 2.7.2.
