google.cloud.gcp_compute_backend_service – Creates a GCP BackendService

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_backend_service.

Synopsis

  • A Backend Service defines a group of virtual machines that will serve traffic for load balancing. This resource is a global backend service, appropriate for external load balancing or self-managed internal load balancing.
  • For managed internal load balancing, use a regional backend service instead.
  • Currently self-managed internal load balancing is only available in beta.

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

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

The load balancing algorithm used within the scope of the locality.
The possible values are - * ROUND_ROBIN - This is a simple policy in which each healthy backend is selected in round robin order.
* LEAST_REQUEST - An O(1) algorithm which selects two random healthy hosts and picks the host which has fewer active requests.
* RING_HASH - The ring/modulo hash load balancer implements consistent hashing to backends. The algorithm has the property that the addition/removal of a host from a set of N hosts only affects 1/N of the requests.
* RANDOM - The load balancer selects a random healthy host.
* ORIGINAL_DESTINATION - Backend host is selected based on the client connection metadata, i.e., connections are opened to the same address as the destination address of the incoming connection before the connection was redirected to the load balancer.
* MAGLEV - used as a drop in replacement for the ring hash load balancer.
Maglev is not as stable as ring hash but has faster table lookup build times and host selection times. For more information about Maglev, refer to https://ai.google/research/pubs/pub44824 This field is applicable only when the load_balancing_scheme is set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.

logConfig
complex
success
This field denotes the logging options for the load balancer traffic served by this backend service.
If logging is enabled, logs will be exported to Stackdriver.

enable
boolean
success
Whether to enable logging for the load balancer traffic served by this backend service.

sampleRate
string
success
This field can only be specified if logging is enabled for this backend service. The value of the field must be in [0, 1]. This configures the sampling rate of requests to the load balancer where 1.0 means all logged requests are reported and 0.0 means no logged requests are reported.
The default value is 1.0.

name
string
success
Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression `[a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?` which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.

outlierDetection
complex
success
Settings controlling eviction of unhealthy hosts from the load balancing pool.
This field is applicable only when the load_balancing_scheme is set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.

baseEjectionTime
complex
success
The base time that a host is ejected for. The real time is equal to the base time multiplied by the number of times the host has been ejected. Defaults to 30000ms or 30s.

nanos
integer
success
Span of time that's a fraction of a second at nanosecond resolution. Durations less than one second are represented with a 0 `seconds` field and a positive `nanos` field. Must be from 0 to 999,999,999 inclusive.

seconds
integer
success
Span of time at a resolution of a second. Must be from 0 to 315,576,000,000 inclusive.

consecutiveErrors
integer
success
Number of errors before a host is ejected from the connection pool. When the backend host is accessed over HTTP, a 5xx return code qualifies as an error.
Defaults to 5.

consecutiveGatewayFailure
integer
success
The number of consecutive gateway failures (502, 503, 504 status or connection errors that are mapped to one of those status codes) before a consecutive gateway failure ejection occurs. Defaults to 5.

enforcingConsecutiveErrors
integer
success
The percentage chance that a host will be actually ejected when an outlier status is detected through consecutive 5xx. This setting can be used to disable ejection or to ramp it up slowly. Defaults to 100.

enforcingConsecutiveGatewayFailure
integer
success
The percentage chance that a host will be actually ejected when an outlier status is detected through consecutive gateway failures. This setting can be used to disable ejection or to ramp it up slowly. Defaults to 0.

enforcingSuccessRate
integer
success
The percentage chance that a host will be actually ejected when an outlier status is detected through success rate statistics. This setting can be used to disable ejection or to ramp it up slowly. Defaults to 100.

interval
complex
success
Time interval between ejection sweep analysis. This can result in both new ejections as well as hosts being returned to service. Defaults to 10 seconds.

nanos
integer
success
Span of time that's a fraction of a second at nanosecond resolution. Durations less than one second are represented with a 0 `seconds` field and a positive `nanos` field. Must be from 0 to 999,999,999 inclusive.

seconds
integer
success
Span of time at a resolution of a second. Must be from 0 to 315,576,000,000 inclusive.

maxEjectionPercent
integer
success
Maximum percentage of hosts in the load balancing pool for the backend service that can be ejected. Defaults to 10%.

successRateMinimumHosts
integer
success
The number of hosts in a cluster that must have enough request volume to detect success rate outliers. If the number of hosts is less than this setting, outlier detection via success rate statistics is not performed for any host in the cluster. Defaults to 5.

successRateRequestVolume
integer
success
The minimum number of total requests that must be collected in one interval (as defined by the interval duration above) to include this host in success rate based outlier detection. If the volume is lower than this setting, outlier detection via success rate statistics is not performed for that host. Defaults to 100.

successRateStdevFactor
integer
success
This factor is used to determine the ejection threshold for success rate outlier ejection. The ejection threshold is the difference between the mean success rate, and the product of this factor and the standard deviation of the mean success rate: mean - (stdev * success_rate_stdev_factor). This factor is divided by a thousand to get a double. That is, if the desired factor is 1.9, the runtime value should be 1900. Defaults to 1900.

portName
string
success
Name of backend port. The same name should appear in the instance groups referenced by this service. Required when the load balancing scheme is EXTERNAL.

protocol
string
success
The protocol this BackendService uses to communicate with backends.
The default is HTTP. **NOTE**: HTTP2 is only valid for beta HTTP/2 load balancer types and may result in errors if used with the GA API.

securityPolicy
string
success
The security policy associated with this backend service.

sessionAffinity
string
success
Type of session affinity to use. The default is NONE. Session affinity is not applicable if the protocol is UDP.

timeoutSec
integer
success
How many seconds to wait for the backend before considering it a failed request. Default is 30 seconds. Valid range is [1, 86400].
