# look at ovirt_auth module to see how to reuse authentication:
# Add image external provider:
- ovirt_external_provider:
name: image_provider
type: os_image
url: http://10.34.63.71:9292
username: admin
password: 123456
tenant: admin
auth_url: http://10.34.63.71:35357/v2.0/
# Add foreman provider:
- ovirt_external_provider:
name: foreman_provider
type: foreman
url: https://foreman.example.com
username: admin
password: 123456
# Add external network provider for OVN:
- ovirt_external_provider:
name: ovn_provider
type: network
network_type: external
url: http://1.2.3.4:9696
# Remove image external provider:
- ovirt_external_provider:
