Parameters
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| auth_kind string / required |
| The type of credential used. |
| description - | An optional description of this resource. | |
| name - / required | 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. | |
| project string | The Google Cloud Platform project to use. | |
| 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 |
| url_map - / required | A reference to the UrlMap resource that defines the mapping from URL to the BackendService. This field represents a link to a UrlMap 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_url_map task and then set this url_map field to "{{ name-of-resource }}" |
