google.cloud.gcp_compute_backend_bucket – Creates a GCP BackendBucket

Note

This plugin is part of the google.cloud collection (version 1.0.2).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install google.cloud.

To use it in a playbook, specify: google.cloud.gcp_compute_backend_bucket.

Synopsis 

Backend buckets allow you to use Google Cloud Storage buckets with HTTP(S) load balancing.
An HTTP(S) load balancer can direct traffic to specified URLs to a backend bucket rather than a backend service. It can send requests for static content to a Cloud Storage bucket and requests for dynamic content to a virtual machine instance.

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	Comments
auth_kind string / required	The type of credential used. Choices: application machineaccount serviceaccount
bucket_name string / required	Cloud Storage bucket name.
cdn_policy dictionary	Cloud CDN configuration for this Backend Bucket.
signed_url_cache_max_age_sec integer	Maximum number of seconds the response to a signed URL request will be considered fresh. After this time period, the response will be revalidated before being served. When serving responses to signed URL requests, Cloud CDN will internally behave as though all responses from this backend had a “Cache-Control: public, max-age=[TTL]” header, regardless of any existing Cache-Control header. The actual headers served in responses will not be altered.
description string	An optional textual description of the resource; provided by the client when the resource is created.
enable_cdn boolean	If true, enable Cloud CDN for this BackendBucket. Choices: no yes
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.
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	Whether the given object should exist in GCP Choices: present ← (default) absent

API Reference: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/v1/backendBuckets
Using a Cloud Storage bucket as a load balancer backend: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/http/backend-bucket
for authentication, you can set service_account_file using the gcp_service_account_file env variable.
for authentication, you can set service_account_contents using the 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.
