gce_labels - Create, Update or Destroy GCE Labels.

New in version 2.4.

Synopsis

• Create, Update or Destroy GCE Labels on instances, disks, snapshots, etc. When specifying the GCE resource, users may specifiy the full URL for the resource (its ‘self_link’), or the individual parameters of the resource (type, location, name). Examples for the two options can be seen in the documentaion. See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/label-or-tag-resources for more information about GCE Labels. Labels are gradually being added to more GCE resources, so this module will need to be updated as new resources are added to the GCE (v1) API.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

• python >= 2.6
• google-api-python-client >= 1.6.2
• google-auth >= 1.0.0
• google-auth-httplib2 >= 0.0.2

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
labels		A list of labels (key/value pairs) to add or remove for the resource.
resource_location		The location of resource (global, us-central1-f, etc.)
resource_name		The name of resource.
resource_type		The type of resource (instances, disks, snapshots, images)
resource_url		The 'self_link' for the resource (instance, disk, snapshot, etc)
