google.cloud.gcp_container_node_pool module – Creates a GCP NodePool

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_container_node_pool.

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

  • NodePool contains the name and configuration for a cluster’s node pool.

  • Node pools are a set of nodes (i.e. VM’s), with a common configuration and specification, under the control of the cluster master. They may have a set of Kubernetes labels applied to them, which may be used to reference them during pod scheduling. They may also be resized up or down, to accommodate the workload.

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

This field represents a link to a Cluster resource in GCP. It can be specified in two ways. First, you can place a dictionary with key ‘name’ and value of your resource’s name Alternatively, you can add `register: name-of-resource` to a gcp_container_cluster task and then set this cluster field to “{{ name-of-resource }}”

conditions

list / elements=dictionary

Which conditions caused the current node pool state.

code

string

Machine-friendly representation of the condition.

Type of the disk attached to each node (e.g. ‘pd-standard’ or ‘pd-ssd’) If unspecified, the default disk type is ‘pd-standard’ .

image_type

string

The image type to use for this node. Note that for a given image type, the latest version of it will be used.

labels

dictionary

The map of Kubernetes labels (key/value pairs) to be applied to each node. These will added in addition to any default label(s) that Kubernetes may apply to the node. In case of conflict in label keys, the applied set may differ depending on the Kubernetes version – it’s best to assume the behavior is undefined and conflicts should be avoided. For more information, including usage and the valid values, see: http://kubernetes.io/v1.1/docs/user-guide/labels.html An object containing a list of “key”: value pairs.

Example: { “name”: “wrench”, “mass”: “1.3kg”, “count”: “3” }.

local_ssd_count

integer

The number of local SSD disks to be attached to the node.

The limit for this value is dependant upon the maximum number of disks available on a machine per zone. See: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/local-ssd#local_ssd_limits for more information.

string

The name of a Google Compute Engine machine type (e.g.

n1-standard-1). If unspecified, the default machine type is n1-standard-1.

metadata

dictionary

The metadata key/value pairs assigned to instances in the cluster.

Keys must conform to the regexp [a-zA-Z0-9-_]+ and be less than 128 bytes in length. These are reflected as part of a URL in the metadata server. Additionally, to avoid ambiguity, keys must not conflict with any other metadata keys for the project or be one of the four reserved keys: “instance-template”, “kube-env”, “startup-script”, and “user-data” Values are free-form strings, and only have meaning as interpreted by the image running in the instance. The only restriction placed on them is that each value’s size must be less than or equal to 32 KB.

The total size of all keys and values must be less than 512 KB.

The following scopes are recommended, but not required, and by default are not included: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/compute is required for mounting persistent storage on your nodes.

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.read_only is required for communicating with gcr.io (the Google Container Registry).

If unspecified, no scopes are added, unless Cloud Logging or Cloud Monitoring are enabled, in which case their required scopes will be added.
