gcp_compute_target_tcp_proxy – Creates a GCP TargetTcpProxy

New in version 2.6.

Synopsis

• Represents a TargetTcpProxy resource, which is used by one or more global forwarding rule to route incoming TCP requests to a Backend service.

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.
proxy_header string		Specifies the type of proxy header to append before sending data to the backend, either NONE or PROXY_V1. The default is NONE. Some valid choices include: "NONE", "PROXY_V1"
scopes list		Array of scopes to be used.
service dictionary / required		A reference to the BackendService resource. 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 }}"
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.
state string	Choices: present ← absent	Whether the given object should exist in GCP

• for authentication, you can set service_account_file using the c(gcp_service_account_file) env variable.

• for authentication, you can set service_account_contents using the c(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.
