google_compute_instance_group_manager

The Google Compute Engine Instance Group Manager API creates and manages pools of homogeneous Compute Engine virtual machine instances from a common instance template. For more information, see the official documentation and API

Example Usage

resource "google_compute_instance_group_manager" "foobar" {
  name        = "terraform-test"
  description = "Terraform test instance group manager"

  base_instance_name = "foobar"
  instance_template  = "${google_compute_instance_template.foobar.self_link}"
  update_strategy    = "NONE"
  zone               = "us-central1-a"

  target_pools = ["${google_compute_target_pool.foobar.self_link}"]
  target_size  = 2

  named_port {
    name = "customHTTP"
    port = 8888
  }
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

• base_instance_name - (Required) The base instance name to use for instances in this group. The value must be a valid RFC1035 name. Supported characters are lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (-). Instances are named by appending a hyphen and a random four-character string to the base instance name.

• instance_template - (Required) The full URL to an instance template from which all new instances will be created.

• name - (Required) The name of the instance group manager. Must be 1-63 characters long and comply with RFC1035. Supported characters include lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.

• zone - (Required) The zone that instances in this group should be created in.

• description - (Optional) An optional textual description of the instance group manager.

• named_port - (Optional) The named port configuration. See the section below for details on configuration.

• project - (Optional) The project in which the resource belongs. If it is not provided, the provider project is used.

• update_strategy - (Optional, Default "RESTART") If the instance_template resource is modified, a value of "NONE" will prevent any of the managed instances from being restarted by Terraform. A value of "RESTART" will restart all of the instances at once. In the future, as the GCE API matures we will support "ROLLING_UPDATE" as well.

• target_size - (Optional) If not given at creation time, this defaults to 1. Do not specify this if you are managing the group with an autoscaler, as this will cause fighting.

• target_pools - (Optional) The full URL of all target pools to which new instances in the group are added. Updating the target pools attribute does not affect existing instances.

The named_port block supports: (Include a named_port block for each named-port required).

• name - (Required) The name of the port.

• port - (Required) The port number.

Attributes Reference

In addition to the arguments listed above, the following computed attributes are exported:

• fingerprint - The fingerprint of the instance group manager.

• instance_group - The full URL of the instance group created by the manager.

• self_link - The URL of the created resource.
