google.cloud.gcp_compute_image – Creates a GCP Image
Note
This plugin is part of the google.cloud collection (version 1.0.2).
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.
To use it in a playbook, specify: google.cloud.gcp_compute_image.
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
