gcp_compute_image – Creates a GCP Image

New in version 2.6.

Synopsis

  • Represents an Image resource.
  • Google Compute Engine uses operating system images to create the root persistent disks for your instances. You specify an image when you create an instance. Images contain a boot loader, an operating system, and a root file system. Linux operating system images are also capable of running containers on Compute Engine.
  • Images can be either public or custom.
  • Public images are provided and maintained by Google, open-source communities, and third-party vendors. By default, all projects have access to these images and can use them to create instances. Custom images are available only to your project. You can create a custom image from root persistent disks and other images. Then, use the custom image to create an instance.

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
    Choices:
  • application
  • machineaccount
  • serviceaccount
The type of credential used.
description
string
An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
disk_size_gb
integer
Size of the image when restored onto a persistent disk (in GB).
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.
family
string
The name of the image family to which this image belongs. You can create disks by specifying an image family instead of a specific image name. The image family always returns its latest image that is not deprecated. The name of the image family must comply with RFC1035.
guest_os_features
list
A list of features to enable on the guest OS. Applicable for bootable images only. Currently, only one feature can be enabled, VIRTIO_SCSI_MULTIQUEUE, which allows each virtual CPU to have its own queue. For Windows images, you can only enable VIRTIO_SCSI_MULTIQUEUE on images with driver version 1.2.0.1621 or higher. Linux images with kernel versions 3.17 and higher will support VIRTIO_SCSI_MULTIQUEUE.
For new Windows images, the server might also populate this field with the value WINDOWS, to indicate that this is a Windows image.
This value is purely informational and does not enable or disable any features.
type
string
The type of supported feature. Currently only VIRTIO_SCSI_MULTIQUEUE is supported. For newer Windows images, the server might also populate this property with the value WINDOWS to indicate that this is a Windows image. This value is purely informational and does not enable or disable any features.
Some valid choices include: "VIRTIO_SCSI_MULTIQUEUE"
image_encryption_key
dictionary
Encrypts the image using a customer-supplied encryption key.
After you encrypt an image with a customer-supplied key, you must provide the same key if you use the image later (e.g. to create a disk from the image) .
raw_key
string
Specifies a 256-bit customer-supplied encryption key, encoded in RFC 4648 base64 to either encrypt or decrypt this resource.
labels
dictionary
added in 2.8
Labels to apply to this Image.
licenses
list
Any applicable license URI.
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.
raw_disk
dictionary
The parameters of the raw disk image.
container_type
string
The format used to encode and transmit the block device, which should be TAR. This is just a container and transmission format and not a runtime format. Provided by the client when the disk image is created.
Some valid choices include: "TAR"
sha1_checksum
string
An optional SHA1 checksum of the disk image before unpackaging.
This is provided by the client when the disk image is created.
source
string / required
The full Google Cloud Storage URL where disk storage is stored You must provide either this property or the sourceDisk property but not both.
scopes
list
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.
source_disk
dictionary
The source disk to create this image based on.
You must provide either this property or the rawDisk.source property but not both to create an image.
This field represents a link to a Disk 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_disk task and then set this source_disk field to "{{ name-of-resource }}"
source_disk_encryption_key
dictionary
The customer-supplied encryption key of the source disk. Required if the source disk is protected by a customer-supplied encryption key.
raw_key
string
Specifies a 256-bit customer-supplied encryption key, encoded in RFC 4648 base64 to either encrypt or decrypt this resource.
source_disk_id
string
The ID value of the disk used to create this image. This value may be used to determine whether the image was taken from the current or a previous instance of a given disk name.
source_type
string
The type of the image used to create this disk. The default and only value is RAW .
Some valid choices include: "RAW"
state
string
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
