gcp_compute_url_map – Creates a GCP UrlMap

New in version 2.6.


Synopsis

  • UrlMaps are used to route requests to a backend service based on rules that you define for the host and path of an incoming URL.

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 Choices/Defaults Comments

auth_kind

string / required

  • application
  • machineaccount
  • serviceaccount

The type of credential used.

default_service

- / required

A reference to BackendService resource if none of the hostRules match.

This field represents a link to a BackendService 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_backend_service task and then set this default_service field to "Template:Name-of-resource"

description

-

An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.

host_rules

-

The list of HostRules to use against the URL.

description

-

An optional description of this HostRule. Provide this property when you create the resource.

hosts

- / required

The list of host patterns to match. They must be valid hostnames, except * will match any string of ([a-z0-9-.]*). In that case, * must be the first character and must be followed in the pattern by either - or .

path_matcher

- / required

The name of the PathMatcher to use to match the path portion of the URL if the hostRule matches the URL's host portion.

name

- / 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.

path_matchers

-

The list of named PathMatchers to use against the URL.

default_service

- / required

A reference to a BackendService resource. This will be used if none of the pathRules defined by this PathMatcher is matched by the URL's path portion.

This field represents a link to a BackendService 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_backend_service task and then set this default_service field to "Template:Name-of-resource"

description

-

An optional description of this resource.

name

- / required

The name to which this PathMatcher is referred by the HostRule.

path_rules

-

The list of path rules.

paths

- / required

The list of path patterns to match. Each must start with / and the only place a * is allowed is at the end following a /. The string fed to the path matcher does not include any text after the first ? or #, and those chars are not allowed here.

service

- / required

A reference to the BackendService resource if this rule is matched.

This field represents a link to a BackendService 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_backend_service task and then set this service field to "Template:Name-of-resource"

project

string

The Google Cloud Platform project to use.

scopes

list

Array of scopes to be used.

service_account_contents

string

A string representing the contents of a Service Account JSON file.

This should not be passed in as a dictionary, but a string that has the exact contents of a service account json file (valid JSON)

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

-

  • present

  • absent

Whether the given object should exist in GCP

tests

-

The list of expected URL mappings. Requests to update this UrlMap will succeed only if all of the test cases pass.

description

-

Description of this test case.

host

- / required

Host portion of the URL.

path

- / required

Path portion of the URL.

service

- / required

A reference to expected BackendService resource the given URL should be mapped to.

This field represents a link to a BackendService 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_backend_service task and then set this service field to "Template:Name-of-resource"



Notes

Note

  • For authentication, you can set service_account_file using the GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE env variable.
  • For authentication, you can set service_account_email using the GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL env variable.
  • For authentication, you can set service_account_contents using the GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CONTENTS env variable.
  • For authentication, you can set auth_kind using the GCP_AUTH_KIND env variable.
  • For authentication, you can set scopes using the GCP_SCOPES env variable.
  • Environment variables values will only be used if the playbook values are not set.
  • The service_account_email and service_account_file options are mutually exclusive.
