salt.modules.gcp_addon¶

A route is a rule that specifies how certain packets should be handled by the virtual network. Routes are associated with virtual machine instances by tag, and the set of routes for a particular VM is called its routing table. For each packet leaving a virtual machine, the system searches that machine's routing table for a single best matching route.

This module will create a route to send traffic destined to the Internet through your gateway instance.

salt.modules.gcp_addon.route_create(credential_file=None, project_id=None, name=None, dest_range=None, next_hop_instance=None, instance_zone=None, tags=None, network=None, priority=None)¶

Create a route to send traffic destined to the Internet through your gateway instance

credential_file : string

File location of application default credential. For more information, refer: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/application-default-credentials

project_id : string

Project ID where instance and network resides.

name : string

name of the route to create

next_hop_instance : string

the name of an instance that should handle traffic matching this route.

instance_zone : string

zone where instance("next_hop_instance") resides

network : string

Specifies the network to which the route will be applied.

dest_range : string

The destination range of outgoing packets that the route will apply to.

tags : list

(optional) Identifies the set of instances that this route will apply to.

priority : int

(optional) Specifies the priority of this route relative to other routes. default=1000

CLI Example:

salt 'salt-master.novalocal' gcp.route_create
    credential_file=/root/secret_key.json
    project_id=cp100-170315
    name=derby-db-route1
    next_hop_instance=instance-1
    instance_zone=us-central1-a
    network=default
    dest_range=0.0.0.0/0
    tags=['no-ip']
    priority=700

In above example, the instances which are having tag "no-ip" will route the packet to instance "instance-1"(if packet is intended to other network)
