gcp_compute_subnetwork – Creates a GCP Subnetwork¶
New in version 2.6.
Synopsis¶
- A VPC network is a virtual version of the traditional physical networks that exist within and between physical data centers. A VPC network provides connectivity for your Compute Engine virtual machine (VM) instances, Container Engine containers, App Engine Flex services, and other network-related resources.
- Each GCP project contains one or more VPC networks. Each VPC network is a global entity spanning all GCP regions. This global VPC network allows VM instances and other resources to communicate with each other via internal, private IP addresses.
- Each VPC network is subdivided into subnets, and each subnet is contained within a single region. You can have more than one subnet in a region for a given VPC network. Each subnet has a contiguous private RFC1918 IP space. You create instances, containers, and the like in these subnets.
- When you create an instance, you must create it in a subnet, and the instance draws its internal IP address from that subnet.
- Virtual machine (VM) instances in a VPC network can communicate with instances in all other subnets of the same VPC network, regardless of region, using their RFC1918 private IP addresses. You can isolate portions of the network, even entire subnets, using firewall rules.
Requirements¶
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

- Private Google Access: https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/configure-private-google-access
- Cloud Networking: https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/using-vpc
- 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.
