Synopsis ¶

UrlMaps are used to route requests to a backend service based on rules that you define for the host and path of an incoming URL.

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.
default_service - / required				A reference to BackendService resource if none of the hostRules match. This field represents a link to a BackendService 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_backend_service task and then set this default_service field to "{{ name-of-resource }}"
description -				An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
host_rules -				The list of HostRules to use against the URL.
	description -			An optional description of this HostRule. Provide this property when you create the resource.
	hosts - / required			The list of host patterns to match. They must be valid hostnames, except * will match any string of ([a-z0-9-.]). In that case, must be the first character and must be followed in the pattern by either - or .
	path_matcher - / required			The name of the PathMatcher to use to match the path portion of the URL if the hostRule matches the URL's host portion.
name - / 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.
path_matchers -				The list of named PathMatchers to use against the URL.
	default_service - / required			A reference to a BackendService resource. This will be used if none of the pathRules defined by this PathMatcher is matched by the URL's path portion. This field represents a link to a BackendService 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_backend_service task and then set this default_service field to "{{ name-of-resource }}"
	description -			An optional description of this resource.
	name - / required			The name to which this PathMatcher is referred by the HostRule.
	path_rules -			The list of path rules.
		paths - / required		The list of path patterns to match. Each must start with / and the only place a * is allowed is at the end following a /. The string fed to the path matcher does not include any text after the first ? or #, and those chars are not allowed here.
		service - / required		A reference to the BackendService resource if this rule is matched. This field represents a link to a BackendService 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_backend_service task and then set this service field to "{{ name-of-resource }}"
project string				The Google Cloud Platform project to use.
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
tests -				The list of expected URL mappings. Requests to update this UrlMap will succeed only if all of the test cases pass.
	description -			Description of this test case.
	host - / required			Host portion of the URL.
	path - / required			Path portion of the URL.
	service - / required			A reference to expected BackendService resource the given URL should be mapped to. This field represents a link to a BackendService 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_backend_service task and then set this service field to "{{ name-of-resource }}"

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.
