google.cloud.gcp_compute_address module – Creates a GCP Address

Note

This module is part of the google.cloud collection (version 1.1.3).

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_address.

Synopsis

• Represents an Address resource.

• Each virtual machine instance has an ephemeral internal IP address and, optionally, an external IP address. To communicate between instances on the same network, you can use an instance’s internal IP address. To communicate with the Internet and instances outside of the same network, you must specify the instance’s external IP address.

• Internal IP addresses are ephemeral and only belong to an instance for the lifetime of the instance; if the instance is deleted and recreated, the instance is assigned a new internal IP address, either by Compute Engine or by you. External IP addresses can be either ephemeral or static.

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
address string	The static external IP address represented by this resource. Only IPv4 is supported. An address may only be specified for INTERNAL address types. The IP address must be inside the specified subnetwork, if any.
address_type string	The type of address to reserve. Some valid choices include: “INTERNAL”, “EXTERNAL” Default: "EXTERNAL"
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.
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.
network dictionary	The URL of the network in which to reserve the address. This field can only be used with INTERNAL type with the VPC_PEERING and IPSEC_INTERCONNECT purposes. This field represents a link to a Network 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_network task and then set this network field to “{{ name-of-resource }}”
network_tier string	The networking tier used for configuring this address. If this field is not specified, it is assumed to be PREMIUM. Some valid choices include: “PREMIUM”, “STANDARD”
prefix_length integer	The prefix length if the resource represents an IP range.
project string	The Google Cloud Platform project to use.
purpose string	The purpose of this resource, which can be one of the following values: * GCE_ENDPOINT for addresses that are used by VM instances, alias IP ranges, internal load balancers, and similar resources. * SHARED_LOADBALANCER_VIP for an address that can be used by multiple internal load balancers. * VPC_PEERING for addresses that are reserved for VPC peer networks. * IPSEC_INTERCONNECT for addresses created from a private IP range that are reserved for a VLAN attachment in an IPsec-encrypted Cloud Interconnect configuration. These addresses are regional resources. This should only be set when using an Internal address.
region string / required	URL of the region where the regional address resides. This field is not applicable to global addresses.
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"
subnetwork dictionary	The URL of the subnetwork in which to reserve the address. If an IP address is specified, it must be within the subnetwork’s IP range. This field can only be used with INTERNAL type with GCE_ENDPOINT/DNS_RESOLVER purposes. This field represents a link to a Subnetwork 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_subnetwork task and then set this subnetwork field to “{{ name-of-resource }}”

• Reserving a Static Internal IP Address: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/ip-addresses/reserve-static-internal-ip-address

• 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 address
  google.cloud.gcp_compute_address:

Return Values

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

Key	Description
address string	The static external IP address represented by this resource. Only IPv4 is supported. An address may only be specified for INTERNAL address types. The IP address must be inside the specified subnetwork, if any. Returned: success
addressType string	The type of address to reserve. Returned: success
creationTimestamp string	Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format. Returned: success
description string	An optional description of this resource. Returned: success
