Google Compute Engine VM module

This module can operate in two distinct modes:

• instance creation, with optional unmanaged group
• instance template creation

In both modes, an optional service account can be created and assigned to either instances or template. If you need a managed instance group when using the module in template mode, refer to the compute-mig module.

Examples

Instance leveraging defaults

The simplest example leverages defaults for the boot disk image and size, and uses a service account created by the module. Multiple instances can be managed via the instance_count variable.

module "simple-vm-example" {
  source     = "../modules/compute-vm"
  project_id = "my-project"
  region     = "europe-west1"
  zone       = "europe-west1-b"
  name       = "test"
  network_interfaces = [{
    network    = local.network_self_link,
    subnetwork = local.subnet_self_link,
    nat        = false,
    addresses  = null
  }]
  service_account_create = true
  instance_count = 1
}

Instance template

This example shows how to use the module to manage an instance template that defines an additional attached disk for each instance, and overrides defaults for the boot disk image and service account.

module "debian-test" {
  source     = "../modules/compute-vm"
  project_id = "my-project"
  region     = "europe-west1"
  zone       = "europe-west1-b"
  name       = "test"
  network_interfaces = [{
    network    = local.network_self_link,
    subnetwork = local.subnet_self_link,
    nat        = false,
    addresses  = null
  }]
  instance_count = 1
  boot_disk      = {
    image = "projects/cos-cloud/global/images/family/cos-stable"
    type  = "pd-ssd"
    size  = 10
  }
  attached_disks = [
    { name = "disk-1", size = 10, image = null, options = null }
  ]
  service_account        = "vm-default@my-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
  use_instance_template  = true
}

Instance group

If an instance group is needed when operating in instance mode, simply set the group variable to a non null map. The map can contain named port declarations, or be empty if named ports are not needed.

module "instance-group" {
  source     = "../../cloud-foundation-fabric/modules/compute-vm"
  project_id = "my-project"
  region     = "europe-west1"
  zone       = "europe-west1-b"
  name       = "ilb-test"
  network_interfaces = [{
    network    = local.network_self_link,
    subnetwork = local.subnetwork_self_link,
    nat        = false,
    addresses  = null
  }]
  boot_disk = {
    image = "projects/cos-cloud/global/images/family/cos-stable"
    type  = "pd-ssd"
    size  = 10
  }
  service_account        = local.service_account_email
  service_account_scopes = ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"]
  use_instance_template  = true
  metadata = {
    user-data = local.cloud_config
  }
  group = {}
}
