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_vpn_tunnel.

Synopsis 

VPN tunnel resource.

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"`
description string	An optional description of this resource.
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.
ike_version integer	IKE protocol version to use when establishing the VPN tunnel with peer VPN gateway. Acceptable IKE versions are 1 or 2. Default version is 2. Default: `2`
local_traffic_selector list / elements=string	Local traffic selector to use when establishing the VPN tunnel with peer VPN gateway. The value should be a CIDR formatted string, for example `192.168.0.0/16`. The ranges should be disjoint. Only IPv4 is supported.
name string / required	Name of the resource. 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.
peer_external_gateway dictionary	URL of the peer side external VPN gateway to which this VPN tunnel is connected. This field represents a link to a ExternalVpnGateway 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_external_vpn_gateway task and then set this peer_external_gateway field to “{{ name-of-resource }}”
peer_external_gateway_interface integer	The interface ID of the external VPN gateway to which this VPN tunnel is connected.
peer_gcp_gateway dictionary	URL of the peer side HA GCP VPN gateway to which this VPN tunnel is connected. If provided, the VPN tunnel will automatically use the same vpn_gateway_interface ID in the peer GCP VPN gateway. This field represents a link to a VpnGateway 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_vpn_gateway task and then set this peer_gcp_gateway field to “{{ name-of-resource }}”
peer_ip string	IP address of the peer VPN gateway. Only IPv4 is supported.
project string	The Google Cloud Platform project to use.
region string / required	The region where the tunnel is located.
remote_traffic_selector list / elements=string	Remote traffic selector to use when establishing the VPN tunnel with peer VPN gateway. The value should be a CIDR formatted string, for example `192.168.0.0/16`. The ranges should be disjoint. Only IPv4 is supported.
router dictionary	URL of router resource to be used for dynamic routing. This field represents a link to a Router 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_router task and then set this router field to “{{ name-of-resource }}”
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.
shared_secret string / required	Shared secret used to set the secure session between the Cloud VPN gateway and the peer VPN gateway.
state string	Whether the given object should exist in GCP Choices: `"present"` ← (default) `"absent"`
target_vpn_gateway dictionary	URL of the Target VPN gateway with which this VPN tunnel is associated. This field represents a link to a TargetVpnGateway 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_target_vpn_gateway task and then set this target_vpn_gateway field to “{{ name-of-resource }}”
vpn_gateway dictionary	URL of the VPN gateway with which this VPN tunnel is associated. This must be used if a High Availability VPN gateway resource is created. This field represents a link to a VpnGateway 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_vpn_gateway task and then set this vpn_gateway field to “{{ name-of-resource }}”
vpn_gateway_interface integer	The interface ID of the VPN gateway with which this VPN tunnel is associated.
