Internal (HTTP/S) Load Balancer Module
This module allows managing Internal HTTP/HTTPS Load Balancers (L7 ILBs). It's designed to expose the full configuration of the underlying resources, and to facilitate common usage patterns by providing sensible defaults, and optionally managing prerequisite resources like health checks, instance groups, etc.
Due to the complexity of the underlying resources, changes to the configuration that involve recreation of resources are best applied in stages, starting by disabling the configuration in the urlmap that references the resources that neeed recreation, then doing the same for the backend service, etc.
Examples
- Minimal Example
- Cross-project Backend Services
- Health Checks
- Instance Groups
- Network Endpoint Groups
- URL Map
- SSL Certificates
- Complex Example
Minimal Example
An HTTP ILB with a backend service pointing to a GCE instance group:
module "ilb-l7" {
source = "./fabric/modules/net-ilb-l7"
name = "ilb-test"
project_id = var.project_id
region = "europe-west1"
backend_service_configs = {
default = {
backends = [{
group = "projects/myprj/zones/europe-west1-a/instanceGroups/my-ig"
}]
}
}
vpc_config = {
network = var.vpc.self_link
subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
}
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=5
An HTTPS ILB needs a few additional fields:
module "ilb-l7" {
source = "./fabric/modules/net-ilb-l7"
name = "ilb-test"
project_id = var.project_id
region = "europe-west1"
backend_service_configs = {
default = {
backends = [{
group = "projects/myprj/zones/europe-west1-a/instanceGroups/my-ig"
}]
}
}
protocol = "HTTPS"
ssl_certificates = {
certificate_ids = [
"projects/myprj/regions/europe-west1/sslCertificates/my-cert"
]
}
vpc_config = {
network = var.vpc.self_link
subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
}
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=5
Cross-project backend services
When using Shared VPC, this module also allows configuring cross-project backend services:
module "ilb-l7" {
source = "./fabric/modules/net-ilb-l7"
name = "ilb-test"
project_id = "prj-host"
region = "europe-west1"
backend_service_configs = {
default = {
project_id = "prj-svc"
backends = [{
group = "projects/prj-svc/zones/europe-west1-a/instanceGroups/my-ig"
}]
}
}
health_check_configs = {
default = {
project_id = "prj-svc"
http = {
port_specification = "USE_SERVING_PORT"
}
}
}
vpc_config = {
network = var.vpc.self_link
subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
}
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=5
Health Checks
You can leverage externally defined health checks for backend services, or have the module create them for you. By default a simple HTTP health check is created, and used in backend services.
Health check configuration is controlled via the health_check_configs
variable, which behaves in a similar way to other LB modules in this repository.
Defining different health checks fromt he default is very easy. You can for example replace the default HTTP health check with a TCP one and reference it in you backend service:
module "ilb-l7" {
source = "./fabric/modules/net-ilb-l7"
name = "ilb-test"
project_id = var.project_id
region = "europe-west1"
backend_service_configs = {
default = {
backends = [{
group = "projects/myprj/zones/europe-west1-a/instanceGroups/my-ig"
}]
health_checks = ["custom-tcp"]
}
}
health_check_configs = {
custom-tcp = {
tcp = { port = 80 }
}
}
vpc_config = {
network = var.vpc.self_link
subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
}
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=5
To leverage existing health checks without having the module create them, simply pass their self links to backend services and set the health_check_configs
variable to an empty map:
module "ilb-l7" {
source = "./fabric/modules/net-ilb-l7"
name = "ilb-test"
project_id = var.project_id
region = "europe-west1"
backend_service_configs = {
default = {
backends = [{
group = "projects/myprj/zones/europe-west1-a/instanceGroups/my-ig"
}]
health_checks = ["projects/myprj/global/healthChecks/custom"]
}
}
health_check_configs = {}
vpc_config = {
network = var.vpc.self_link
subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
}
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=4
Instance Groups
The module can optionally create unmanaged instance groups, which can then be referred to in backends via their key:
module "ilb-l7" {
source = "./fabric/modules/net-ilb-l7"
name = "ilb-test"
project_id = var.project_id
region = "europe-west1"
backend_service_configs = {
default = {
port_name = "http"
backends = [
{ group = "default" }
]
}
}
group_configs = {
default = {
zone = "europe-west1-b"
instances = [
"projects/myprj/zones/europe-west1-b/instances/vm-a"
]
named_ports = { http = 80 }
}
}
vpc_config = {
network = var.vpc.self_link
subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
}
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=6
Network Endpoint Groups (NEGs)
Network Endpoint Groups (NEGs) can be used as backends, by passing their id as the backend group in a backends service configuration:
module "ilb-l7" {
source = "./fabric/modules/net-ilb-l7"
name = "ilb-test"
project_id = var.project_id
region = "europe-west1"
backend_service_configs = {
default = {
backends = [{
balancing_mode = "RATE"
group = "projects/myprj/zones/europe-west1-a/networkEndpointGroups/my-neg"
max_rate = { per_endpoint = 1 }
}]
}
}
vpc_config = {
network = var.vpc.self_link
subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
}
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=5
Similarly to instance groups, NEGs can also be managed by this module which supports GCE, hybrid, and serverless NEGs:
resource "google_compute_address" "test" {
name = "neg-test"
subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
address_type = "INTERNAL"
address = "10.0.0.10"
region = "europe-west1"
}
module "ilb-l7" {
source = "./fabric/modules/net-ilb-l7"
name = "ilb-test"
project_id = var.project_id
region = "europe-west1"
backend_service_configs = {
default = {
backends = [{
balancing_mode = "RATE"
group = "my-neg"
max_rate = { per_endpoint = 1 }
}]
}
}
neg_configs = {
my-neg = {
gce = {
zone = "europe-west1-b"
endpoints = {
e-0 = {
instance = "test-1"
ip_address = google_compute_address.test.address
# ip_address = "10.0.0.10"
port = 80
}
}
}
}
}
vpc_config = {
network = var.vpc.self_link
subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
}
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=8
Hybrid NEGs are also supported:
module "ilb-l7" {
source = "./fabric/modules/net-ilb-l7"
name = "ilb-test"
project_id = var.project_id
region = "europe-west1"
backend_service_configs = {
default = {
backends = [{
balancing_mode = "RATE"
group = "my-neg"
max_rate = { per_endpoint = 1 }
}]
}
}
neg_configs = {
my-neg = {
hybrid = {
zone = "europe-west1-b"
endpoints = {
e-0 = {
ip_address = "10.0.0.10"
port = 80
}
}
}
}
}
vpc_config = {
network = var.vpc.self_link
subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
}
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=7
As are serverless NEGs for Cloud Run:
module "ilb-l7" {
source = "./fabric/modules/net-ilb-l7"
name = "ilb-test"
project_id = var.project_id
region = "europe-west1"
backend_service_configs = {
default = {
backends = [{
balancing_mode = "RATE"
group = "my-neg"
max_rate = { per_endpoint = 1 }
}]
}
}
neg_configs = {
my-neg = {
cloudrun = {
region = "europe-west1"
target_service = {
name = "my-run-service"
}
}
}
}
vpc_config = {
network = var.vpc.self_link
subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
}
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=6
URL Map
The module exposes the full URL map resource configuration, with some minor changes to the interface to decrease verbosity, and support for aliasing backend services via keys.
The default URL map configuration sets the default
backend service as the default service for the load balancer as a convenience. Just override the urlmap_config
variable to change the default behaviour:
module "ilb-l7" {
source = "./fabric/modules/net-ilb-l7"
name = "ilb-test"
project_id = var.project_id
region = "europe-west1"
backend_service_configs = {
default = {
backends = [{
group = "projects/myprj/zones/europe-west1-a/instanceGroups/my-ig"
}]
}
video = {
backends = [{
group = "projects/myprj/zones/europe-west1-a/instanceGroups/my-ig-2"
}]
}
}
urlmap_config = {
default_service = "default"
host_rules = [{
hosts = ["*"]
path_matcher = "pathmap"
}]
path_matchers = {
pathmap = {
default_service = "default"
path_rules = [{
paths = ["/video", "/video/*"]
service = "video"
}]
}
}
}
vpc_config = {
network = var.vpc.self_link
subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
}
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=6
SSL Certificates
Similarly to health checks, SSL certificates can also be created by the module. In this example we are using private key and certificate resources so that the example test only depends on Terraform providers, but in real use those can be replaced by external files.
resource "tls_private_key" "default" {
algorithm = "RSA"
rsa_bits = 4096
}
resource "tls_self_signed_cert" "default" {
private_key_pem = tls_private_key.default.private_key_pem
subject {
common_name = "example.com"
organization = "ACME Examples, Inc"
}
validity_period_hours = 720
allowed_uses = [
"key_encipherment",
"digital_signature",
"server_auth",
]
}
module "ilb-l7" {
source = "./fabric/modules/net-ilb-l7"
name = "ilb-test"
project_id = var.project_id
region = "europe-west1"
backend_service_configs = {
default = {
backends = [{
group = "projects/myprj/zones/europe-west1-a/instanceGroups/my-ig"
}]
}
}
health_check_configs = {
default = {
https = { port = 443 }
}
}
protocol = "HTTPS"
ssl_certificates = {
create_configs = {
default = {
# certificate and key could also be read via file() from external files
certificate = tls_self_signed_cert.default.cert_pem
private_key = tls_private_key.default.private_key_pem
}
}
}
vpc_config = {
network = var.vpc.self_link
subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
}
}
