project

string

The Google Cloud Platform project to use.

region

string / required

The region where the tunnel is located.

remote_traffic_selector

router

dictionary

URL of router resource to be used for dynamic routing.

This field represents a link to a Router 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_router task and then set this router field to “{{ name-of-resource }}”

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.

shared_secret

string / required

Shared secret used to set the secure session between the Cloud VPN gateway and the peer VPN gateway.

state

string

Whether the given object should exist in GCP

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

target_vpn_gateway

dictionary

URL of the Target VPN gateway with which this VPN tunnel is associated.

This field represents a link to a TargetVpnGateway 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_target_vpn_gateway task and then set this target_vpn_gateway field to “{{ name-of-resource }}”

vpn_gateway

dictionary

URL of the VPN gateway with which this VPN tunnel is associated.

This must be used if a High Availability VPN gateway resource is created.

This field represents a link to a VpnGateway 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_vpn_gateway task and then set this vpn_gateway field to “{{ name-of-resource }}”

vpn_gateway_interface
