gcp_compute_address – Creates a GCP Address
New in version 2.6.
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
Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
---|---|---|
address - | The static external IP address represented by this resource. Only IPv4 is supported. An address may only be specified for INTERNAL address types. The IP address must be inside the specified subnetwork, if any. | |
address_type - added in 2.7 |
| The type of address to reserve, either INTERNAL or EXTERNAL. If unspecified, defaults to EXTERNAL. |
auth_kind string / required |
| The type of credential used. |
description - | An optional description of this resource. | |
name - / required | Name of 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_tier - added in 2.8 |
| The networking tier used for configuring this address. This field can take the following values: PREMIUM or STANDARD. If this field is not specified, it is assumed to be PREMIUM. |
project string | The Google Cloud Platform project to use. | |
region - / required | URL of the region where the regional address resides. This field is not applicable to global addresses. | |
scopes list | Array of scopes to be used. | |
service_account_contents string | A string representing the contents of a Service Account JSON file. This should not be passed in as a dictionary, but a string that has the exact contents of a service account json file (valid JSON) | |
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 - |
| Whether the given object should exist in GCP |
subnetwork - added in 2.7 | 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 }}" |

- Reserving a Static External IP Address: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances-and-network
- Reserving a Static Internal IP Address: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/ip-addresses/reserve-static-internal-ip-address
- 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 service_account_contents using the
GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CONTENTS
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.
Examples
- name: create a address gcp_compute_address: name: test-address1 region: us-west1 project: test_project auth_kind: serviceaccount service_account_file: "/tmp/auth.pem" state: present
