## Synopsis

- Gather info for GCP Image
- This module was called `gcp_compute_image_facts` before Ansible 2.9. The usage has not changed.

Aliases: gcp_compute_image_facts

## 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.

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.
filters list |  | A list of filter value pairs. Available filters are listed here https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/topic/filters. Each additional filter in the list will act be added as an AND condition (filter1 and filter2) .
project string |  | The Google Cloud Platform project to use.
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.

## Notes

Note

- for authentication, you can set service_account_file using the c(gcp_service_account_file) env variable.
- for authentication, you can set service_account_contents using the c(GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CONTENTS) env variable.
- For authentication, you can set service_account_email using the `GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL` 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.

## Examples

    - name: get info on an image
      gcp_compute_image_info:
        filters:
        - name = test_object
        project: test_project
        auth_kind: serviceaccount
        service_account_file: "/tmp/auth.pem"

## Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key | Returned | Description
--- | --- | ---
resources complex | always | List of resources
| archiveSizeBytes integer | success | Size of the image tar.gz archive stored in Google Cloud Storage (in bytes).
| creationTimestamp string | success | Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
| deprecated complex | success | The deprecation status associated with this image.
|  | deleted string | success | An optional RFC3339 timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change to DELETED. This is only informational and the status will not change unless the client explicitly changes it.
|  | deprecated string | success | An optional RFC3339 timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change to DEPRECATED. This is only informational and the status will not change unless the client explicitly changes it.
|  | obsolete string | success | An optional RFC3339 timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change to OBSOLETE. This is only informational and the status will not change unless the client explicitly changes it.
|  | replacement string | success | The URL of the suggested replacement for a deprecated resource. The suggested replacement resource must be the same kind of resource as the deprecated resource.
|  | state string | success | The deprecation state of this resource. This can be DEPRECATED, OBSOLETE, or DELETED. Operations which create a new resource using a DEPRECATED resource will return successfully, but with a warning indicating the deprecated resource and recommending its replacement. Operations which use OBSOLETE or DELETED resources will be rejected and result in an error.
| description string | success | An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
| diskSizeGb integer | success | Size of the image when restored onto a persistent disk (in GB).
| family string | success | 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.

guestOsFeatures
complex

success

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 | success | 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.
| id integer | success | The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
| imageEncryptionKey complex | success | 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) .
|  | rawKey string | success | Specifies a 256-bit customer-supplied encryption key, encoded in RFC 4648 base64 to either encrypt or decrypt this resource.
|  | sha256 string | success | The RFC 4648 base64 encoded SHA-256 hash of the customer-supplied encryption key that protects this resource.
| labelFingerprint string | success | The fingerprint used for optimistic locking of this resource. Used internally during updates.
| labels dictionary | success | Labels to apply to this Image.
| licenses list | success | Any applicable license URI.

name
string

success

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.

| rawDisk complex | success | The parameters of the raw disk image.
|  | containerType string | success | 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.
|  | sha1Checksum string | success | An optional SHA1 checksum of the disk image before unpackaging. This is provided by the client when the disk image is created.
|  | source string | success | The full Google Cloud Storage URL where disk storage is stored You must provide either this property or the sourceDisk property but not both.
| sourceDisk dictionary | success | 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.
| sourceDiskEncryptionKey complex | success | The customer-supplied encryption key of the source disk. Required if the source disk is protected by a customer-supplied encryption key.
|  | rawKey string | success | Specifies a 256-bit customer-supplied encryption key, encoded in RFC 4648 base64 to either encrypt or decrypt this resource.
|  | sha256 string | success | The RFC 4648 base64 encoded SHA-256 hash of the customer-supplied encryption key that protects this resource.
| sourceDiskId string | success | 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.
| sourceType string | success | The type of the image used to create this disk. The default and only value is RAW .
