community.google.gce_labels module – Create, Update or Destroy GCE Labels.

Note

This module is part of the community.google collection (version 1.0.0).

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 community.google.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.google.gce_labels.

Synopsis

• Create, Update or Destroy GCE Labels on instances, disks, snapshots, etc. When specifying the GCE resource, users may specify the full URL for the resource (its ‘self_link’), or the individual parameters of the resource (type, location, name). Examples for the two options can be seen in the documentation. See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/label-or-tag-resources for more information about GCE Labels. Labels are gradually being added to more GCE resources, so this module will need to be updated as new resources are added to the GCE (v1) API.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

• python >= 2.6

• google-api-python-client >= 1.6.2

• google-auth >= 1.0.0

• google-auth-httplib2 >= 0.0.2

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
credentials_file string	The path to the JSON file associated with the service account email.
labels dictionary	A list of labels (key/value pairs) to add or remove for the resource.
pem_file string	The path to the PEM file associated with the service account email. This option is deprecated and may be removed in a future release. Use credentials_file instead.
project_id string	The Google Cloud Platform project ID to use.
resource_location string	The location of resource (global, us-central1-f, etc.)
resource_name string	The name of resource.
resource_type string	The type of resource (instances, disks, snapshots, images)
resource_url string	The ‘self_link’ for the resource (instance, disk, snapshot, etc)
service_account_email string	service account email
service_account_permissions list / elements=string	service account email
state string	The state the labels should be in. present or absent are the only valid options. Choices: present ← (default) absent

Note

• Labels support resources such as instances, disks, images, etc. See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/labeling-resources for the list of resources available in the GCE v1 API (not alpha or beta).
