## Synopsis

- A Google Cloud Redis 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
--- | --- | ---
alternative_location_id string |  | Only applicable to STANDARD_HA tier which protects the instance against zonal failures by provisioning it across two zones. If provided, it must be a different zone from the one provided in [locationId].

auth_kind
string / required

Choices:
- application
- machineaccount
- serviceaccount

The type of credential used.

authorized_network string |  | The full name of the Google Compute Engine network to which the instance is connected. If left unspecified, the default network will be used.
display_name string |  | An arbitrary and optional user-provided name for the instance.
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 |  | Resource labels to represent user provided metadata.
location_id string |  | The zone where the instance will be provisioned. If not provided, the service will choose a zone for the instance. For STANDARD_HA tier, instances will be created across two zones for protection against zonal failures. If [alternativeLocationId] is also provided, it must be different from [locationId].
memory_size_gb integer / required |  | Redis memory size in GiB.
name string / required |  | The ID of the instance or a fully qualified identifier for the instance. .
project string |  | The Google Cloud Platform project to use.
redis_configs dictionary |  | Redis configuration parameters, according to http://redis.io/topics/config. Please check Memorystore documentation for the list of supported parameters: https://cloud.google.com/memorystore/docs/redis/reference/rest/v1/projects.locations.instances#Instance.FIELDS.redis_configs .
redis_version string |  | The version of Redis software. If not provided, latest supported version will be used. Currently, the supported values are: - REDIS_4_0 for Redis 4.0 compatibility - REDIS_3_2 for Redis 3.2 compatibility .
region string / required |  | The name of the Redis region of the instance.
reserved_ip_range string |  | The CIDR range of internal addresses that are reserved for this instance. If not provided, the service will choose an unused /29 block, for example, 10.0.0.0/29 or 192.168.0.0/29. Ranges must be unique and non-overlapping with existing subnets in an authorized network.
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

tier string | Default: "BASIC" | The service tier of the instance. Must be one of these values: - BASIC: standalone instance - STANDARD_HA: highly available primary/replica instances . Some valid choices include: "BASIC", "STANDARD_HA"

## Notes

Note

- API Reference: https://cloud.google.com/memorystore/docs/redis/reference/rest/

- Official Documentation: https://cloud.google.com/memorystore/docs/redis/

- 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.

## Return Values

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