I want to create a GCE node with ansible and attach it a fixed IP. My problem is ansible doesn't seem to purpose this option.
After googling and searching in source code, I can't find where is the code which deploy instances.
If anyone has an idea ?
I didn't find it in ansible's source because it is in ansible-modules-core.
After make a voluntary error with a bad zone, I had this traceback:
$ ansible-playbook create_vm.yml -i inventory/
PLAY [Create instance(s)] *****************************************************

In fact, tasks were launched by the temporary script /home/zulu/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1418774247.2-93981074391261/gce and after searched for it in my local source code, I found it !
The code I searched is originally stored in a the git submodule: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tree/devel/lib/ansible/modules
