glcoud based authentication for ansible

[renich]

SUMMARY

this collection should work using one's environment when one has authenticated using gcloud, as the following documentation states (for terraform):

https://cloud.google.com/docs/terraform/authentication#local_dev_environment

This, actually, works with Terraform/OpenTofu.

It doesn't work with Ansible.

ISSUE TYPE

• Feature Idea

COMPONENT NAME

google_service_account or google_auth

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

plugin: google.cloud.gcp_compute
projects: xpc-25
hostnames:
  - name

ansible -i hosts.gcp.yaml -m ansible.builtin.ping all

That should just work if gcloud auth application-default login was done beforehand.
