os_instance_timeout	❌	300	The amount of time the module should wait for the instance to get into active state.
os_instance_volumes	❌	[]	A list of volumes to create and attach to the instance. Each volume in the list would contain name and size.

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: localhost

      user_domain_name: default
    project_name: myproject
    os_instance_name: myinstance
    os_instance_image: rhel75
    os_instance_flavor: m4.xlarge
    os_instance_key_name: user1-key
