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.
bgp -				BGP information specific to this router.
	advertise_mode -		Choices: DEFAULT ← CUSTOM	User-specified flag to indicate which mode to use for advertisement. Valid values of this enum field are: DEFAULT, CUSTOM .
	advertised_groups -			User-specified list of prefix groups to advertise in custom mode. This field can only be populated if advertiseMode is CUSTOM and is advertised to all peers of the router. These groups will be advertised in addition to any specified prefixes. Leave this field blank to advertise no custom groups. This enum field has the one valid value: ALL_SUBNETS .
	advertised_ip_ranges -			User-specified list of individual IP ranges to advertise in custom mode. This field can only be populated if advertiseMode is CUSTOM and is advertised to all peers of the router. These IP ranges will be advertised in addition to any specified groups. Leave this field blank to advertise no custom IP ranges.
		description -		User-specified description for the IP range.
		range -		The IP range to advertise. The value must be a CIDR-formatted string.
	asn - / required			Local BGP Autonomous System Number (ASN). Must be an RFC6996 private ASN, either 16-bit or 32-bit. The value will be fixed for this router resource. All VPN tunnels that link to this router will have the same local ASN.
description -				An optional description of this resource.
name - / required				Name of the resource. 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 - / required				A reference to the network to which this router belongs. This field represents a link to a Network 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_network task and then set this network field to "{{ name-of-resource }}"
project string				The Google Cloud Platform project to use.
region - / required				Region where the router resides.
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 -			Choices: present ← absent	Whether the given object should exist in GCP

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.
