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.
filters -		A list of filter value pairs. Available filters are listed here https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/topic/filters. Each additional filter in the list will act be added as an AND condition (filter1 and filter2) .
project string		The Google Cloud Platform project to use.
region - / required		A reference to the region where the regional forwarding rule resides. This field is not applicable to global forwarding rules.
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.

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_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.

Return Values ¶

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

Key		Returned	Description
items complex		always	List of items
	allPorts boolean	success	When the load balancing scheme is INTERNAL and protocol is TCP/UDP, omit `port`/`port_range` and specify this field as `true` to allow packets addressed to any ports to be forwarded to the backends configured with this forwarding rule.
	backendService dictionary	success	A reference to a BackendService to receive the matched traffic. This is used for internal load balancing. (not used for external load balancing) .
	creationTimestamp string	success	Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
	description string	success	An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
	id integer	success	The unique identifier for the resource.
	IPAddress string	success	The IP address that this forwarding rule is serving on behalf of. Addresses are restricted based on the forwarding rule's load balancing scheme (EXTERNAL or INTERNAL) and scope (global or regional). When the load balancing scheme is EXTERNAL, for global forwarding rules, the address must be a global IP, and for regional forwarding rules, the address must live in the same region as the forwarding rule. If this field is empty, an ephemeral IPv4 address from the same scope (global or regional) will be assigned. A regional forwarding rule supports IPv4 only. A global forwarding rule supports either IPv4 or IPv6. When the load balancing scheme is INTERNAL, this can only be an RFC 1918 IP address belonging to the network/subnet configured for the forwarding rule. By default, if this field is empty, an ephemeral internal IP address will be automatically allocated from the IP range of the subnet or network configured for this forwarding rule. An address can be specified either by a literal IP address or a URL reference to an existing Address resource. The following examples are all valid: * 100.1.2.3 * https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/project/regions/region/addresses/address * projects/project/regions/region/addresses/address * regions/region/addresses/address * global/addresses/address * address .
	IPProtocol string	success	The IP protocol to which this rule applies. Valid options are TCP, UDP, ESP, AH, SCTP or ICMP. When the load balancing scheme is INTERNAL, only TCP and UDP are valid.
	ipVersion string	success	The IP Version that will be used by this forwarding rule. Valid options are IPV4 or IPV6. This can only be specified for a global forwarding rule.
	loadBalancingScheme string	success	This signifies what the ForwardingRule will be used for and can only take the following values: INTERNAL, EXTERNAL The value of INTERNAL means that this will be used for Internal Network Load Balancing (TCP, UDP). The value of EXTERNAL means that this will be used for External Load Balancing (HTTP(S) LB, External TCP/UDP LB, SSL Proxy) .
	name string	success	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.
	network dictionary	success	For internal load balancing, this field identifies the network that the load balanced IP should belong to for this Forwarding Rule. If this field is not specified, the default network will be used. This field is not used for external load balancing.
	networkTier string	success	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.
	portRange string	success	This field is used along with the target field for TargetHttpProxy, TargetHttpsProxy, TargetSslProxy, TargetTcpProxy, TargetVpnGateway, TargetPool, TargetInstance. Applicable only when IPProtocol is TCP, UDP, or SCTP, only packets addressed to ports in the specified range will be forwarded to target. Forwarding rules with the same [IPAddress, IPProtocol] pair must have disjoint port ranges. Some types of forwarding target have constraints on the acceptable ports: * TargetHttpProxy: 80, 8080 * TargetHttpsProxy: 443 * TargetTcpProxy: 25, 43, 110, 143, 195, 443, 465, 587, 700, 993, 995, 1883, 5222 * TargetSslProxy: 25, 43, 110, 143, 195, 443, 465, 587, 700, 993, 995, 1883, 5222 * TargetVpnGateway: 500, 4500 .
	ports list	success	This field is used along with the backend_service field for internal load balancing. When the load balancing scheme is INTERNAL, a single port or a comma separated list of ports can be configured. Only packets addressed to these ports will be forwarded to the backends configured with this forwarding rule. You may specify a maximum of up to 5 ports.
	region string	success	A reference to the region where the regional forwarding rule resides. This field is not applicable to global forwarding rules.
	serviceLabel string	success	An optional prefix to the service name for this Forwarding Rule. If specified, will be the first label of the fully qualified service name. The label must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the label 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. This field is only used for internal load balancing.
	serviceName string	success	The internal fully qualified service name for this Forwarding Rule. This field is only used for internal load balancing.
	subnetwork dictionary	success	A reference to a subnetwork. For internal load balancing, this field identifies the subnetwork that the load balanced IP should belong to for this Forwarding Rule. If the network specified is in auto subnet mode, this field is optional. However, if the network is in custom subnet mode, a subnetwork must be specified. This field is not used for external load balancing.
	target dictionary	success	A reference to a TargetPool resource to receive the matched traffic. For regional forwarding rules, this target must live in the same region as the forwarding rule. For global forwarding rules, this target must be a global load balancing resource. The forwarded traffic must be of a type appropriate to the target object. This field is not used for internal load balancing.
