gce_labels - Create, Update or Destory GCE Labels.

New in version 2.4.

Synopsis

  • Create, Update or Destory GCE Labels on instances, disks, snapshots, etc. When specifying the GCE resource, users may specifiy the full URL for the resource (its ‘self_link’), or the individual parameters of the resource (type, location, name). Examples for the two options can be seen in the documentaion. See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/label-or-tag-resources for more information about GCE Labels. Labels are gradually being added to more GCE resources, so this module will need to be updated as new resources are added to the GCE (v1) API.

Requirements (on host that executes module)

  • python >= 2.6
  • google-api-python-client >= 1.6.2
  • google-auth >= 1.0.0
  • google-auth-httplib2 >= 0.0.2
