salt.states.loop module¶

Loop state

Allows for looping over execution modules.

New in version 2017.7.0.

wait_for_service_to_be_healthy:
  loop.until:
    - name: boto_elb.get_instance_health
    - condition: m_ret[0]['state'] == 'InService'
    - period: 5
    - timeout: 20
    - m_args:
      - {{ elb }}
    - m_kwargs:
        keyid: {{ access_key }}
        key: {{ secret_key }}
        instances: "{{ instance }}"

Warning

This state allows arbitrary python code to be executed through the condition parameter which is literally evaluated within the state. Please use caution.

m_args: The execution module's positional arguments
