google.cloud.gcp_compute_reservation module – Creates a GCP Reservation

Note

This module is part of the google.cloud collection (version 1.3.0).

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_reservation.

Synopsis

  • Represents a reservation resource. A reservation ensures that capacity is held in a specific zone even if the reserved VMs are not running.

  • Reservations apply only to Compute Engine, Cloud Dataproc, and Google Kubernetes Engine VM usage.Reservations do not apply to `f1-micro` or `g1-small` machine types, preemptible VMs, sole tenant nodes, or other services not listed above like Cloud SQL and Dataflow.

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

access_token

string

An OAuth2 access token if credential type is accesstoken.

auth_kind

string / required

The type of credential used.

Choices:

  • "application"

  • "machineaccount"

  • "serviceaccount"

  • "accesstoken"

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.

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.

specific_reservation

dictionary / required

Reservation for instances with specific machine shapes.

count

integer / required

The number of resources that are allocated.

instance_properties

dictionary / required

The instance properties for the reservation.

guest_accelerators

list / elements=dictionary

Guest accelerator type and count.

accelerator_count

integer / required

The number of the guest accelerator cards exposed to this instance.

accelerator_type

string / required

The full or partial URL of the accelerator type to attach to this instance. For example: `projects/my-project/zones/us-central1-c/acceleratorTypes/nvidia-tesla-p100` If you are creating an instance template, specify only the accelerator name.

local_ssds

list / elements=dictionary

The amount of local ssd to reserve with each instance. This reserves disks of type `local-ssd`.

disk_size_gb

integer / required

The size of the disk in base-2 GB.

interface

string

The disk interface to use for attaching this disk.

Some valid choices include: “SCSI”, “NVME”

Default: "SCSI"

machine_type

string / required

The name of the machine type to reserve.

min_cpu_platform

string

The minimum CPU platform for the reservation. For example, `”Intel Skylake”`. See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/specify-min-cpu-platform#availablezones for information on available CPU platforms.

specific_reservation_required

boolean

When set to true, only VMs that target this reservation by name can consume this reservation. Otherwise, it can be consumed by VMs with affinity for any reservation. Defaults to false.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

state

string

Whether the given object should exist in GCP

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

zone

string / required

The zone where the reservation is made.

  • 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 access_token using the GCP_ACCESS_TOKEN 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.
