OCI-Ansible Module --check Dry option is failed at authentication

Question

I would like to know if there is a way to perform ansible --check dry run for oracle cloud infrastructure modules.

Example: Performing dry run before Updating DHCP option of existing VCN subnets

Answer 1

the new ansible collections modules support check_mode which performs dry run before actually performing action. For example with updating DHCP option of existing VCN subnets, you can perform the dry-run by using the following task:

- name: Update subnet
  oci_network_subnet:
    defined_tags: {'Operations': {'CostCenter': 'US'}}
    dhcp_options_id: ocid1.dhcpoptions.oc1.phx.unique_ID
    subnet_id: ocid1.subnet.oc1..xxxxxxEXAMPLExxxxxx
  check_mode: yes
