apply_mode	str	False	loose	loose strict	Set how configlets are attached/detached on device. If set to strict, all configlets and image bundles not listed in your vars are detached.
inventory_mode	str	False	strict	loose strict	Define how missing devices are handled. “loose” will ignore missing devices. “strict” will fail on any missing device.
search_key	str	False	hostname	fqdn hostname serialNumber	Key name to use to look for device in CloudVision.
