Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
auth_kind
string / required
    Choices:
  • application
  • machineaccount
  • serviceaccount
The type of credential used.
clusters
list / elements=dictionary
An array of clusters. Maximum 4.

The type of storage used by this cluster to serve its parent instance's tables, unless explicitly overridden.
Some valid choices include: "STORAGE_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED", "SSD", "HDD"
location
string
The location where this cluster's nodes and storage reside. For best performance, clients should be located as close as possible to this cluster. Currently only zones are supported, so values should be of the form `projects/<project>/locations/<zone>`.

serve_nodes
integer
The number of nodes allocated to this cluster. More nodes enable higher throughput and more consistent performance.
display_name

Can be changed at any time, but should be kept globally unique to avoid confusion.
env_type
string
Specifies which Ansible environment you're running this module within.
This should not be set unless you know what you're doing.
This only alters the User Agent string for any API requests.
