Example

  action :serviceaccount
  path ENV['CRED_PATH'] # e.g. '/path/to/my_account.json'
  scopes [
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/ndev.clouddns.readwrite'
  ]
end

gdns_managed_zone 'testzone-3-com' do
  action :create
  dns_name 'test.somewild-example.com.'
  description 'Test Example Zone'
  credential 'mycred'
  project ENV['PROJECT'] # ex: 'my-test-project'
end

gdns_resource_record_set 'www.testzone-4.com.' do
  action :create
  managed_zone 'testzone-3-com'
  type 'A'
  ttl 600
  target [
    '10.1.2.3',
    '40.5.6.7',
    '80.9.10.11'
  ]
  project ENV['PROJECT'] # ex: 'my-test-project'
  credential 'mycred'
end

Credentials

All Google Cloud Platform cookbooks use an unified authentication mechanism, provided by the google-gauth cookbook. Don't worry, it is automatically installed when you install this module.

Example

gauth_credential 'mycred' do
  action :serviceaccount
  path ENV['CRED_PATH'] # e.g. '/path/to/my_account.json'
  scopes [
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/ndev.clouddns.readwrite'
  ]
end

For complete details of the authentication cookbook, visit the google-gauth cookbook documentation.

Resources

• gdns_managed_zone - 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.
• gdns_resource_record_set - A single DNS record that exists on a domain name (i.e. in a managed zone). This record defines the information about the domain and where the domain / subdomains direct to. The record will include the domain/subdomain name, a type (i.e. A, AAA, CAA, MX, CNAME, NS, etc)

gdns_managed_zone

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.

Example

gdns_managed_zone 'testzone-3-com' do
  action :create
  dns_name 'test.somewild-example.com.'
  description 'Test Example Zone'

  # You can also set output-only values as well. Chef will ignore the values
  # when creating the resource, but will assert that its value matches what you
  # specified.
  #
  # This important to ensure that, for example, the top-level registrar is using
  # the correct DNS server names. Although this can cause failures in a run from
  # a clean project, it is useful to ensure that there are no mismatches in the
  # different services.
  #
  # id 579_667_184_320_567_887
  # name_servers [
  #   'ns-cloud-b1.googledomains.com.',
  #   'ns-cloud-b2.googledomains.com.',
  #   'ns-cloud-b3.googledomains.com.',
  #   'ns-cloud-b4.googledomains.com.'
  # ]
  # creation_time '2016-12-02T04:59:24.333Z'

  project ENV['PROJECT'] # ex: 'my-test-project'
  credential 'mycred'
end

Reference

gdns_managed_zone 'id-for-resource' do
  creation_time   time
  description     string
  dns_name        string
  id              integer
  name            string
  name_server_set [
    string,
    ...
  ]
  name_servers    [
    string,
    ...
  ]
  project         string
  credential      reference to gauth_credential
end

Actions

• create - Converges the gdns_managed_zone resource into the final state described within the block. If the resource does not exist, Chef will attempt to create it.
• delete - Ensures the gdns_managed_zone resource is not present. If the resource already exists Chef will attempt to delete it.

Properties

• description - 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 - The DNS name of this managed zone, for instance "example.com.".

• id - Output only. Unique identifier for the resource; defined by the server.

• name - Required. User assigned name for this resource. Must be unique within the project.

• name_servers - Output only. Delegate your managed_zone to these virtual name servers; defined by the server

• name_server_set - 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.

• creation_time - Output only. The time that this resource was created on the server. This is in RFC3339 text format.

Label

Set the mz_label property when attempting to set primary key of this object. The primary key will always be referred to by the initials of the resource followed by "_label"

gdns_resource_record_set

A single DNS record that exists on a domain name (i.e. in a managed zone). This record defines the information about the domain and where the domain / subdomains direct to.

The record will include the domain/subdomain name, a type (i.e. A, AAA, CAA, MX, CNAME, NS, etc)

Example

# The property managed_zone below needs to match a gdns_managed_zone recipe
# block executed before it
gdns_resource_record_set 'www.testzone-4.com.' do
  action :create
  managed_zone 'testzone-4-com'
  type 'A'
  ttl 600
  target [
    '10.1.2.3',
    '40.5.6.7',
    '80.9.10.11'
  ]
  project ENV['PROJECT'] # ex: 'my-test-project'
  credential 'mycred'
end

gdns_resource_record_set 'sites.testzone-4.com.' do
  action :create
  managed_zone 'testzone-4-com'
  type 'CNAME'
  target ['www.testzone-4.com.']
  project ENV['PROJECT'] # ex: 'my-test-project'
  credential 'mycred'
end

Reference

gdns_resource_record_set 'id-for-resource' do
  managed_zone reference to gdns_managed_zone
  name         string
  target       [
    string,
    ...
  ]
  ttl          integer
  type         'A', 'AAAA', 'CAA', 'CNAME', 'MX', 'NAPTR', 'NS', 'PTR', 'SOA', 'SPF', 'SRV' or 'TXT'
  project      string
  credential   reference to gauth_credential
end

Actions

• create - Converges the gdns_resource_record_set resource into the final state described within the block. If the resource does not exist, Chef will attempt to create it.
• delete - Ensures the gdns_resource_record_set resource is not present. If the resource already exists Chef will attempt to delete it.

Properties

• name - Required. For example, www.example.com.

• type - Required. One of valid DNS resource types.

• ttl - Number of seconds that this ResourceRecordSet can be cached by resolvers.

• target - As defined in RFC 1035 (section 5) and RFC 1034 (section 3.6.1)

• managed_zone - Required. Identifies the managed zone addressed by this request. Can be the managed zone name or id.

Label

Set the rrs_label property when attempting to set primary key of this object. The primary key will always be referred to by the initials of the resource followed by "_label"
