google.cloud.gcp_compute_address – Creates a GCP Address

Note

This plugin is part of the google.cloud collection (version 1.0.2).

To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install google.cloud.

To use it in a playbook, specify: google.cloud.gcp_compute_address.

Synopsis

  • Represents an Address resource.
  • Each virtual machine instance has an ephemeral internal IP address and, optionally, an external IP address. To communicate between instances on the same network, you can use an instance’s internal IP address. To communicate with the Internet and instances outside of the same network, you must specify the instance’s external IP address.
  • Internal IP addresses are ephemeral and only belong to an instance for the lifetime of the instance; if the instance is deleted and recreated, the instance is assigned a new internal IP address, either by Compute Engine or by you. External IP addresses can be either ephemeral or static.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • python >= 2.6
  • requests >= 2.18.4
  • google-auth >= 1.3.0

string
Default:
"EXTERNAL"
The type of address to reserve.
Some valid choices include: "INTERNAL", "EXTERNAL"

    Choices:
  • application
  • machineaccount
  • serviceaccount
The type of credential used.
description
string
An optional description of this resource.
env_type
string
Specifies which Ansible environment you're running this module within.
This should not be set unless you know what you're doing.

Some valid choices include: "PREMIUM", "STANDARD"
project
string
The Google Cloud Platform project to use.
purpose
string
The purpose of this resource, which can be one of the following values: * GCE_ENDPOINT for addresses that are used by VM instances, alias IP ranges, internal load balancers, and similar resources.
* SHARED_LOADBALANCER_VIP for an address that can be used by multiple internal load balancers.
* VPC_PEERING for addresses that are reserved for VPC peer networks.
This should only be set when using an Internal address.
Some valid choices include: "GCE_ENDPOINT", "VPC_PEERING", "SHARED_LOADBALANCER_VIP"
region
string / required
URL of the region where the regional address resides.
This field is not applicable to global addresses.
scopes
list / elements=string
Array of scopes to be used
service_account_contents
jsonarg
The contents of a Service Account JSON file, either in a dictionary or as a JSON string that represents it.
service_account_email
string
An optional service account email address if machineaccount is selected and the user does not wish to use the default email.
service_account_file
path
The path of a Service Account JSON file if serviceaccount is selected as type.
state
string
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
Whether the given object should exist in GCP
subnetwork
dictionary
The URL of the subnetwork in which to reserve the address. If an IP address is specified, it must be within the subnetwork's IP range.
This field can only be used with INTERNAL type with GCE_ENDPOINT/DNS_RESOLVER purposes.
This field represents a link to a Subnetwork resource in GCP. It can be specified in two ways. First, you can place a dictionary with key 'selfLink' and value of your resource's selfLink Alternatively, you can add `register: name-of-resource` to a gcp_compute_subnetwork task and then set this subnetwork field to "{{ name-of-resource }}"
