google.cloud.gcp_compute_external_vpn_gateway module – Creates a GCP ExternalVpnGateway

Note

This module is part of the google.cloud collection (version 1.4.1).

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_external_vpn_gateway.

Note

The google.cloud collection will be removed from Ansible 12 due to violations of the Ansible inclusion requirements. The collection has unresolved sanity test failures. See the discussion thread for more information.

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.
interfaces list / elements=dictionary	A list of interfaces on this external VPN gateway.
id integer	The numberic ID for this interface. Allowed values are based on the redundancy type of this external VPN gateway * `0 - SINGLE_IP_INTERNALLY_REDUNDANT` * `0, 1 - TWO_IPS_REDUNDANCY` * `0, 1, 2, 3 - FOUR_IPS_REDUNDANCY` .
ip_address string	IP address of the interface in the external VPN gateway. Only IPv4 is supported. This IP address can be either from your on-premise gateway or another Cloud provider’s VPN gateway, it cannot be an IP address from Google Compute Engine.
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.
redundancy_type string	Indicates the redundancy type of this external VPN gateway . Some valid choices include: “FOUR_IPS_REDUNDANCY”, “SINGLE_IP_INTERNALLY_REDUNDANT”, “TWO_IPS_REDUNDANCY”
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"
