google.cloud.gcp_compute_network module – Creates a GCP Network

Note

This module 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. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

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

Synopsis 

Manages a VPC network or legacy network resource on GCP.

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"`
auto_create_subnetworks boolean	When set to `true`, the network is created in “auto subnet mode” and it will create a subnet for each region automatically across the `10.128.0.0/9` address range. When set to `false`, the network is created in “custom subnet mode” so the user can explicitly connect subnetwork resources. Choices: `false` `true`
description string	An optional description of this resource. The resource must be recreated to modify this field.
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.
mtu integer	Maximum Transmission Unit in bytes. The minimum value for this field is 1460 and the maximum value is 1500 bytes.
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.
routing_config dictionary	The network-level routing configuration for this network. Used by Cloud Router to determine what type of network-wide routing behavior to enforce.
routing_mode string / required	The network-wide routing mode to use. If set to `REGIONAL`, this network’s cloud routers will only advertise routes with subnetworks of this network in the same region as the router. If set to `GLOBAL`, this network’s cloud routers will advertise routes with all subnetworks of this network, across regions. Some valid choices include: “REGIONAL”, “GLOBAL”
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"`

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.

Examples 

- name: create a network
  google.cloud.gcp_compute_network:
    name: test_object
    auto_create_subnetworks: 'true'
    project: test_project
    auth_kind: serviceaccount

    state: present

Return Values 

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Description
autoCreateSubnetworks boolean	When set to `true`, the network is created in “auto subnet mode” and it will create a subnet for each region automatically across the `10.128.0.0/9` address range. When set to `false`, the network is created in “custom subnet mode” so the user can explicitly connect subnetwork resources. Returned: success
creationTimestamp string	Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format. Returned: success
description string	An optional description of this resource. The resource must be recreated to modify this field. Returned: success
gateway_ipv4 string	The gateway address for default routing out of the network. This value is selected by GCP. Returned: success
id integer	The unique identifier for the resource. Returned: success
mtu integer	Maximum Transmission Unit in bytes. The minimum value for this field is 1460 and the maximum value is 1500 bytes. Returned: success
name string	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. Returned: success
routingConfig complex	The network-level routing configuration for this network. Used by Cloud Router to determine what type of network-wide routing behavior to enforce. Returned: success
routingMode string	The network-wide routing mode to use. If set to `REGIONAL`, this network’s cloud routers will only advertise routes with subnetworks of this network in the same region as the router. If set to `GLOBAL`, this network’s cloud routers will advertise routes with all subnetworks of this network, across regions. Returned: success
subnetworks list / elements=string	Server-defined fully-qualified URLs for all subnetworks in this network. Returned: success
