Synopsis ¶

Represents a GlobalForwardingRule resource. Global forwarding rules are used to forward traffic to the correct load balancer for HTTP load balancing. Global forwarding rules can only be used for HTTP load balancing.
For more information, see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/http/ .

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. Provide this property when you create the 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.
ip_address string				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 .
ip_protocol string				The IP protocol to which this rule applies. When the load balancing scheme is INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED, only TCP is valid. Some valid choices include: "TCP", "UDP", "ESP", "AH", "SCTP", "ICMP"
ip_version string				The IP Version that will be used by this global forwarding rule. Some valid choices include: "IPV4", "IPV6"
load_balancing_scheme string			Default: "EXTERNAL"	This signifies what the GlobalForwardingRule will be used for. The value of INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED means that this will be used for Internal Global HTTP(S) LB. The value of EXTERNAL means that this will be used for External Global Load Balancing (HTTP(S) LB, External TCP/UDP LB, SSL Proxy) NOTE: Currently global forwarding rules cannot be used for INTERNAL load balancing. Some valid choices include: "EXTERNAL", "INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED"
metadata_filters list / elements=dictionary				Opaque filter criteria used by Loadbalancer to restrict routing configuration to a limited set xDS compliant clients. In their xDS requests to Loadbalancer, xDS clients present node metadata. If a match takes place, the relevant routing configuration is made available to those proxies. For each metadataFilter in this list, if its filterMatchCriteria is set to MATCH_ANY, at least one of the filterLabels must match the corresponding label provided in the metadata. If its filterMatchCriteria is set to MATCH_ALL, then all of its filterLabels must match with corresponding labels in the provided metadata. metadataFilters specified here can be overridden by those specified in the UrlMap that this ForwardingRule references. metadataFilters only applies to Loadbalancers that have their loadBalancingScheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.
	filter_labels list / elements=dictionary / required			The list of label value pairs that must match labels in the provided metadata based on filterMatchCriteria This list must not be empty and can have at the most 64 entries.
		name string / required		Name of the metadata label. The length must be between 1 and 1024 characters, inclusive.
		value string / required		The value that the label must match. The value has a maximum length of 1024 characters.
	filter_match_criteria string / required			Specifies how individual filterLabel matches within the list of filterLabels contribute towards the overall metadataFilter match. MATCH_ANY - At least one of the filterLabels must have a matching label in the provided metadata. MATCH_ALL - All filterLabels must have matching labels in the provided metadata. Some valid choices include: "MATCH_ANY", "MATCH_ALL"
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.
network dictionary				This field is not used for external load balancing. For INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED load balancing, this field identifies the network that the load balanced IP should belong to for this global forwarding rule. If this field is not specified, the default network will be used. 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 }}"
port_range string				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 .
project string				The Google Cloud Platform project to use.
scopes list / elements=string				Array of scopes to be used
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
target string / required				The URL of the target resource to receive the matched traffic. The forwarded traffic must be of a type appropriate to the target object. For INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED load balancing, only HTTP and HTTPS targets are valid.
