google.cloud.gcp_compute_network_info module – Gather info for GCP Network

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_network_info.

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.

Return Values

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

Key

Description

resources

complex

List of resources

Returned: always

autoCreateSubnetworks

boolean

When set to `true`, the network is created in “auto subnet mode” and it will create a subnet for each region automatically across the `10.128.0.0/9` address range.

When set to `false`, the network is created in “custom subnet mode” so the user can explicitly connect subnetwork resources.

Returned: success

creationTimestamp

string

Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.

Returned: success

description

string

An optional description of this resource. The resource must be recreated to modify this field.

Returned: success

gateway_ipv4

string

The gateway address for default routing out of the network. This value is selected by GCP.

Returned: success

id

integer

The unique identifier for the resource.

Returned: success

mtu

integer

Maximum Transmission Unit in bytes. The minimum value for this field is 1460 and the maximum value is 1500 bytes.

Returned: success

name

string

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.

Returned: success

routingConfig

complex

The network-level routing configuration for this network. Used by Cloud Router to determine what type of network-wide routing behavior to enforce.

Returned: success

routingMode

string

The network-wide routing mode to use. If set to `REGIONAL`, this network’s cloud routers will only advertise routes with subnetworks of this network in the same region as the router. If set to `GLOBAL`, this network’s cloud routers will advertise routes with all subnetworks of this network, across regions.

Returned: success

subnetworks

list / elements=string

Server-defined fully-qualified URLs for all subnetworks in this network.
