project
string
The Google Cloud Platform project to use.
region
string / required
The region where the regional proxy resides.
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
url_map
dictionary / required
A reference to the RegionUrlMap resource that defines the mapping from URL to the BackendService.
This field represents a link to a RegionUrlMap 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_region_url_map task and then set this url_map field to "{{ name-of-resource }}"
