google.cloud.gcp_compute_reservation – Creates a GCP Reservation

Note

This plugin is part of the google.cloud collection (version 1.0.2).

To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install google.cloud.

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

Synopsis

  • Represents a reservation resource. A reservation ensures that capacity is held in a specific zone even if the reserved VMs are not running.

  • Reservations apply only to Compute Engine, Cloud Dataproc, and Google Kubernetes Engine VM usage.Reservations do not apply to f1-micro or g1-small machine types, preemptible VMs, sole tenant nodes, or other services not listed above like Cloud SQL and Dataflow.

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
string / required
    Choices:
  • application
  • machineaccount
  • serviceaccount
The type of credential used.
description
string
An optional description of this resource.
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.
name
string / 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 / 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.
specific_reservation
dictionary / required
Reservation for instances with specific machine shapes.
count
integer / required
The number of resources that are allocated.
instance_properties
dictionary / required
The instance properties for the reservation.
guest_accelerators
list / elements=dictionary
Guest accelerator type and count.
accelerator_count
integer / required
The number of the guest accelerator cards exposed to this instance.
accelerator_type
string / required
The full or partial URL of the accelerator type to attach to this instance. For example: `projects/my-project/zones/us-central1-c/acceleratorTypes/nvidia-tesla-p100` If you are creating an instance template, specify only the accelerator name.
local_ssds
list / elements=dictionary
The amount of local ssd to reserve with each instance. This reserves disks of type `local-ssd`.
disk_size_gb
integer / required
The size of the disk in base-2 GB.
interface
string
Default:
"SCSI"
The disk interface to use for attaching this disk.
Some valid choices include: "SCSI", "NVME"
machine_type
string / required
The name of the machine type to reserve.
min_cpu_platform
string
The minimum CPU platform for the reservation. For example, `"Intel Skylake"`. See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/specify-min-cpu-platform#availablezones for information on available CPU platforms.
specific_reservation_required
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Default:
"false"
When set to true, only VMs that target this reservation by name can consume this reservation. Otherwise, it can be consumed by VMs with affinity for any reservation. Defaults to false.
state
string
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
Whether the given object should exist in GCP
zone
string / required
The zone where the reservation is made.

Notes

Note

  • API Reference: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/reservations

  • Reserving zonal resources: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/reserving-zonal-resources

  • 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 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.
