google.cloud.gcp_compute_region_target_http_proxy module – Creates a GCP RegionTargetHttpProxy

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_region_target_http_proxy.

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.

Synopsis 

Represents a RegionTargetHttpProxy resource, which is used by one or more forwarding rules 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
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.
region string / required	The region where the regional proxy resides.
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 RegionUrlMap resource that defines the mapping from URL to the BackendService. This field represents a link to a RegionUrlMap 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_region_url_map task and then set this url_map field to “{{ name-of-resource }}”
