## Synopsis

- A zone is a subtree of the DNS namespace under one administrative responsibility. A ManagedZone is a resource that represents a DNS zone hosted by the Cloud DNS service.

## 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 / required |  | A mutable string of at most 1024 characters associated with this resource for the user's convenience. Has no effect on the managed zone's function.
dns_name string / required |  | The DNS name of this managed zone, for instance "example.com.".
dnssec_config dictionary added in 2.9 |  | DNSSEC configuration.
| default_key_specs list |  | Specifies parameters that will be used for generating initial DnsKeys for this ManagedZone. If you provide a spec for keySigning or zoneSigning, you must also provide one for the other.
|  | algorithm string |  | String mnemonic specifying the DNSSEC algorithm of this key. Some valid choices include: "ecdsap256sha256", "ecdsap384sha384", "rsasha1", "rsasha256", "rsasha512"
|  | key_length integer |  | Length of the keys in bits.

key_type
string

Specifies whether this is a key signing key (KSK) or a zone signing key (ZSK). Key signing keys have the Secure Entry Point flag set and, when active, will only be used to sign resource record sets of type DNSKEY. Zone signing keys do not have the Secure Entry Point flag set and will be used to sign all other types of resource record sets. .
Some valid choices include: "keySigning", "zoneSigning"

|  | kind string | Default: "dns#dnsKeySpec" | Identifies what kind of resource this is.
| kind string | Default: "dns#managedZoneDnsSecConfig" | Identifies what kind of resource this is.
| non_existence string |  | Specifies the mechanism used to provide authenticated denial-of-existence responses. Some valid choices include: "nsec", "nsec3"
| state string |  | Specifies whether DNSSEC is enabled, and what mode it is in. Some valid choices include: "off", "on", "transfer"
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.
labels dictionary added in 2.8 |  | A set of key/value label pairs to assign to this ManagedZone.
name string / required |  | User assigned name for this resource. Must be unique within the project.
name_server_set string |  | Optionally specifies the NameServerSet for this ManagedZone. A NameServerSet is a set of DNS name servers that all host the same ManagedZones. Most users will leave this field unset.
private_visibility_config dictionary added in 2.8 |  | For privately visible zones, the set of Virtual Private Cloud resources that the zone is visible from.
| networks list |  | The list of VPC networks that can see this zone.
|  | network_url string |  | The fully qualified URL of the VPC network to bind to. This should be formatted like `https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/{project}/global/networks/{network}` .
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.

state
string

Choices:
- present ←
- absent

Whether the given object should exist in GCP

visibility string added in 2.8 | Default: "public" | The zone's visibility: public zones are exposed to the Internet, while private zones are visible only to Virtual Private Cloud resources. Must be one of: `public`, `private`. Some valid choices include: "private", "public"

## Notes

Note

- API Reference: https://cloud.google.com/dns/api/v1/managedZones

- Managing Zones: https://cloud.google.com/dns/zones/

- 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: create a managed zone
      gcp_dns_managed_zone:
        name: test_object
        dns_name: test.somewild2.example.com.
        description: test zone
        project: test_project
        auth_kind: serviceaccount
        service_account_file: "/tmp/auth.pem"
        state: present
