Synopsis

A VPC network is a virtual version of the traditional physical networks that exist within and between physical data centers. A VPC network provides connectivity for your Compute Engine virtual machine (VM) instances, Container Engine containers, App Engine Flex services, and other network-related resources.
Each GCP project contains one or more VPC networks. Each VPC network is a global entity spanning all GCP regions. This global VPC network allows VM instances and other resources to communicate with each other via internal, private IP addresses.
Each VPC network is subdivided into subnets, and each subnet is contained within a single region. You can have more than one subnet in a region for a given VPC network. Each subnet has a contiguous private RFC1918 IP space. You create instances, containers, and the like in these subnets.
When you create an instance, you must create it in a subnet, and the instance draws its internal IP address from that subnet.
Virtual machine (VM) instances in a VPC network can communicate with instances in all other subnets of the same VPC network, regardless of region, using their RFC1918 private IP addresses. You can isolate portions of the network, even entire subnets, using firewall rules.

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
auth_kind required	Choices: machineaccount serviceaccount application	The type of credential used.
description		An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource. This field can be set only at resource creation time.
gateway_address		The gateway address for default routes to reach destination addresses outside this subnetwork. This field can be set only at resource creation time.
ip_cidr_range		The range of internal addresses that are owned by this subnetwork. Provide this property when you create the subnetwork. For example, 10.0.0.0/8 or 192.168.0.0/16. Ranges must be unique and non-overlapping within a network. Only IPv4 is supported.
name		The name of the resource, provided by the client when initially creating the resource. 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.
network		A reference to Network resource.
private_ip_google_access bool	Choices: no yes	Whether the VMs in this subnet can access Google services without assigned external IP addresses.
project		The Google Cloud Platform project to use.
region required		A reference to Region resource.
scopes required		Array of scopes to be used.
service_account_email		An optional service account email address if machineaccount is selected and the user does not wish to use the default email.
service_account_file		The path of a Service Account JSON file if serviceaccount is selected as type.
state required	Choices: present ← absent	Whether the given object should exist in GCP

Notes

Note

For authentication, you can set service_account_file using the GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE env variable.
For authentication, you can set service_account_email using the GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL env variable.
For authentication, you can set auth_kind using the GCP_AUTH_KIND env variable.
For authentication, you can set scopes using the GCP_SCOPES env variable.
Environment variables values will only be used if the playbook values are not set.
The service_account_email and service_account_file options are mutually exclusive.

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Returned	Description

id int	success	The unique identifier for the resource.
ip_cidr_range str	success	The range of internal addresses that are owned by this subnetwork. Provide this property when you create the subnetwork. For example, 10.0.0.0/8 or 192.168.0.0/16. Ranges must be unique and non-overlapping within a network. Only IPv4 is supported.
name str	success	The name of the resource, provided by the client when initially creating the resource. 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.
