google.cloud.gcp_compute_target_http_proxy module – Creates a GCP TargetHttpProxy

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_target_http_proxy.

Synopsis

• Represents a TargetHttpProxy resource, which is used by one or more global forwarding rule to route incoming HTTP requests to a URL map.

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.
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.
proxy_bind boolean	This field only applies when the forwarding rule that references this target proxy has a loadBalancingScheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED. Choices: false true
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"
url_map dictionary / required	A reference to the UrlMap resource that defines the mapping from URL to the BackendService. This field represents a link to a UrlMap 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_url_map task and then set this url_map field to “{{ name-of-resource }}”

• Official Documentation: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/http/target-proxies

• 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.
