strict
boolean

If
yes make invalid entries a fatal error, otherwise skip and continue.Since it is possible to use facts in the expressions they might not always be available and we ignore those errors by default.
|
|
use_contrib_script_compatible_sanitization
boolean
added in 2.8 of google.cloud
|
|
By default this plugin is using a general group name sanitization to create safe and usable group names for use in Ansible. This option allows you to override that, in efforts to allow migration from the old inventory script.
For this to work you should also turn off the TRANSFORM_INVALID_GROUP_CHARS setting, otherwise the core engine will just use the standard sanitization on top.
This is not the default as such names break certain functionality as not all characters are valid Python identifiers which group names end up being used as.
|
|
vars_prefix
string
|
Default: ""
|
prefix to apply to host variables, does not include facts nor params
|
|
zones
list
/ elements=string
|
A list of regions in which to describe GCE instances. If none provided, it defaults to all zones available to a given project.
