+  auth:
+    description:
+      - Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud's auth
+        plugin strategy. For the default I{password) plugin, this would contain
+        I(auth_url), I(username), I(password), I(project_name) and any
+        information about domains if the cloud supports them. For other plugins,
+        this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin
+        requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided.
+    required: false
+  auth_plugin:
+    description:
+      - Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than
+        password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here
+        and the contents of the I(auth) parameter should be updated accordingly.
+    required: false
+    default: password
+  auth_token:
+    description:
+      - An auth token obtained previously. If I(auth_token) is given,
+        I(auth) and I(auth_plugin) are not needed.

+    description:
+      - Name of the availability zone.

+  - shade
+notes:
+  - The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as C(OS_USERNAME)
+    may be user instead of providing explicit values.
+  - Auth information is driven by os-client-config, which means that values
+    can come from a yaml config file in /etc/ansible/openstack.yaml,
+    /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml or ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml, then from
+    standard environment variables, then finally by explicit parameters in
+    plays.
