google.cloud.gcp_compute_node_template_info module – Gather info for GCP NodeTemplate

Note

This module is part of the google.cloud collection (version 1.4.1).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install google.cloud. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

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

Note

The google.cloud collection will be removed from Ansible 12 due to violations of the Ansible inclusion requirements. The collection has unresolved sanity test failures. See the discussion thread for more information.

region

string / required

Region where nodes using the node template will be created .

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.

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_contents using the GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CONTENTS env variable.

  • For authentication, you can set service_account_email using the GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL env variable.

  • For authentication, you can set access_token using the GCP_ACCESS_TOKEN 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: get info on a node template
  gcp_compute_node_template_info:
    region: us-central1
    filters:
    - name = test_object
    project: test_project
    auth_kind: serviceaccount
    service_account_file: "/tmp/auth.pem"

Return Values

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

Key

Description

resources

complex

List of resources

Returned: always

cpuOvercommitType

string

CPU overcommit.

Returned: success

creationTimestamp

string

Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.

Returned: success

description

string

An optional textual description of the resource.

Returned: success

name

string

Name of the resource.

Returned: success

nodeAffinityLabels

dictionary

Labels to use for node affinity, which will be used in instance scheduling.

Returned: success

nodeType

string

Node type to use for nodes group that are created from this template.

Only one of nodeTypeFlexibility and nodeType can be specified.

Returned: success

nodeTypeFlexibility

complex

Flexible properties for the desired node type. Node groups that use this node template will create nodes of a type that matches these properties. Only one of nodeTypeFlexibility and nodeType can be specified.

Returned: success

cpus

string

Number of virtual CPUs to use.

Returned: success

localSsd

string

Use local SSD .

Returned: success

memory

string

Physical memory available to the node, defined in MB.

Returned: success

region

string

Region where nodes using the node template will be created .

Returned: success

serverBinding

complex

The server binding policy for nodes using this template. Determines where the nodes should restart following a maintenance event.

Returned: success

type

string

Type of server binding policy. If `RESTART_NODE_ON_ANY_SERVER`, nodes using this template will restart on any physical server following a maintenance event.

If `RESTART_NODE_ON_MINIMAL_SERVER`, nodes using this template will restart on the same physical server following a maintenance event, instead of being live migrated to or restarted on a new physical server. This option may be useful if you are using software licenses tied to the underlying server characteristics such as physical sockets or cores, to avoid the need for additional licenses when maintenance occurs. However, VMs on such nodes will experience outages while maintenance is applied.

Returned: success
