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

clusters

list / elements=dictionary

An array of clusters. Maximum 4.

default_storage_type

string

The type of storage used by this cluster to serve its parent instance’s tables, unless explicitly overridden.

Some valid choices include: “STORAGE_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED”, “SSD”, “HDD”

location

string

The location where this cluster’s nodes and storage reside. For best performance, clients should be located as close as possible to this cluster. Currently only zones are supported, so values should be of the form projects/<project>/locations/<zone>.

name

string

The unique name of the cluster.

serve_nodes

integer

The number of nodes allocated to this cluster. More nodes enable higher throughput and more consistent performance.

display_name

string

The descriptive name for this instance as it appears in UIs.

Can be changed at any time, but should be kept globally unique to avoid confusion.

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.

labels

dictionary

Labels are a flexible and lightweight mechanism for organizing cloud resources into groups that reflect a customer’s organizational needs and deployment strategies. They can be used to filter resources and aggregate metrics.

name

string

The unique name of the instance.

project

string

The Google Cloud Platform project to use.

scopes

list / elements=string

Array of scopes to be used

service_account_contents
