# External Global (HTTP/S) Load Balancer Module
|
|
|
|
The module allows managing External Global HTTP/HTTPS Load Balancers (XGLB), integrating the global forwarding rule, the url-map, the backends (supporting buckets and groups), and optional health checks and SSL certificates (both managed and unmanaged). It's designed to be a simple match for the [`gcs`](../gcs) and the [`compute-vm`](../compute-vm) modules, which can be used to manage GCS buckets, instance templates and instance groups.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
### GCS Bucket Minimal Example
|
|
|
|
This is a minimal example, which creates a global HTTP load balancer, pointing the path `/` to an existing GCS bucket called `my_test_bucket`.
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
module "glb" {
|
|
source = "./fabric/modules/net-glb"
|
|
name = "glb-test"
|
|
project_id = var.project_id
|
|
|
|
backend_services_config = {
|
|
my-bucket-backend = {
|
|
bucket_config = {
|
|
bucket_name = "my_test_bucket"
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
group_config = null
|
|
enable_cdn = false
|
|
cdn_config = null
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
# tftest modules=1 resources=4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Group Backend Service Minimal Example
|
|
|
|
A very similar coniguration also applies to GCE instance groups:
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
module "glb" {
|
|
source = "./fabric/modules/net-glb"
|
|
name = "glb-test"
|
|
project_id = var.project_id
|
|
|
|
backend_services_config = {
|
|
my-group-backend = {
|
|
bucket_config = null
|
|
enable_cdn = false
|
|
cdn_config = null
|
|
group_config = {
|
|
backends = [
|
|
{
|
|
group = "my_test_group"
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
],
|
|
health_checks = []
|
|
log_config = null
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
# tftest modules=1 resources=5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Health Checks For Group Backend Services
|
|
|
|
Group backend services support health checks.
|
|
If no health checks are specified, a default HTTP health check is created and associated to each group backend service. The default health check configuration can be modified through the `health_checks_config_defaults` variable.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, one or more health checks can be either contextually created or attached, if existing. If the id of the health checks specified is equal to one of the keys of the `health_checks_config` variable, the health check is contextually created; otherwise, the health check id is used as is, assuming an health check alredy exists.
|
|
|
|
For example, to contextually create a health check and attach it to the backend service:
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
module "glb" {
|
|
source = "./fabric/modules/net-glb"
|
|
name = "glb-test"
|
|
project_id = var.project_id
|
|
|
|
backend_services_config = {
|
|
my-group-backend = {
|
|
bucket_config = null
|
|
enable_cdn = false
|
|
cdn_config = null
|
|
group_config = {
|
|
backends = [
|
|
{
|
|
group = "my_test_group"
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
],
|
|
health_checks = ["hc_1"]
|
|
log_config = null
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
health_checks_config = {
|
|
hc_1 = {
|
|
type = "http"
|
|
logging = true
|
|
options = {
|
|
timeout_sec = 40
|
|
}
|
|
check = {
|
|
port_specification = "USE_SERVING_PORT"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
# tftest modules=1 resources=5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Serverless Backends
|
|
|
|
Serverless backends can also be used, as shown in the example below.
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
module "glb" {
|
|
source = "./fabric/modules/net-glb"
|
|
name = "glb-test"
|
|
project_id = var.project_id
|
|
|
|
# This is important as serverless backends require no HCs
|
|
health_checks_config_defaults = null
|
|
|
|
backend_services_config = {
|
|
my-serverless-backend = {
|
|
bucket_config = null
|
|
enable_cdn = false
|
|
cdn_config = null
|
|
group_config = {
|
|
backends = [
|
|
{
|
|
group = google_compute_region_network_endpoint_group.serverless-neg.id
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
],
|
|
health_checks = []
|
|
log_config = null
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
resource "google_compute_region_network_endpoint_group" "serverless-neg" {
|
|
name = "my-serverless-neg"
|
|
project = var.project_id
|
|
region = "europe-west1"
|
|
network_endpoint_type = "SERVERLESS"
|
|
|
|
cloud_run {
|
|
service = "my-cloud-run-service"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
# tftest modules=1 resources=5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Mixing Backends
|
|
|
|
Backends can be multiple, group and bucket backends can be mixed and group backends support multiple groups.
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
module "glb" {
|
|
source = "./fabric/modules/net-glb"
|
|
name = "glb-test"
|
|
project_id = var.project_id
|
|
|
|
backend_services_config = {
|
|
my-group-backend = {
|
|
bucket_config = null
|
|
enable_cdn = false
|
|
cdn_config = null
|
|
group_config = {
|
|
backends = [
|
|
{
|
|
group = "my_test_group"
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
],
|
|
health_checks = []
|
|
log_config = null
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
another-group-backend = {
|
|
bucket_config = null
|
|
enable_cdn = false
|
|
cdn_config = null
|
|
group_config = {
|
|
backends = [
|
|
{
|
|
group = "my_other_test_group"
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
],
|
|
health_checks = []
|
|
log_config = null
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
a-bucket-backend = {
|
|
bucket_config = {
|
|
bucket_name = "my_test_bucket"
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
group_config = null
|
|
enable_cdn = false
|
|
cdn_config = null
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
# tftest modules=1 resources=7
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Url-map
|
|
|
|
The url-map can be customized with lots of different configurations. This includes leveraging multiple backends in different parts of the configuration.
|
|
Given its complexity, it's left to the user passing the right data structure.
|
|
|
|
For simplicity, *if no configurations are given* the first backend service defined (in alphabetical order, with priority to bucket backend services, if any) is used as the *default_service*, thus answering to the root (*/*) path.
|
|
|
|
Backend services can be specified as needed in the url-map configuration, referencing the id used to declare them in the backend services map. If a corresponding backend service is found, their object id is automatically used; otherwise, it is assumed that the string passed is the id of an already existing backend and it is given to the provider as it was passed.
|
|
|
|
In this example, we're using one backend service as the default backend
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
module "glb" {
|
|
source = "./fabric/modules/net-glb"
|
|
name = "glb-test"
|
|
project_id = var.project_id
|
|
|
|
url_map_config = {
|
|
default_service = "my-group-backend"
|
|
default_route_action = null
|
|
default_url_redirect = null
|
|
tests = null
|
|
header_action = null
|
|
host_rules = []
|
|
path_matchers = [
|
|
{
|
|
name = "my-example-page"
|
|
path_rules = [
|
|
{
|
|
paths = ["/my-example-page"]
|
|
service = "another-group-backend"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
backend_services_config = {
|
|
my-group-backend = {
|
|
bucket_config = null
|
|
enable_cdn = false
|
|
cdn_config = null
|
|
group_config = {
|
|
backends = [
|
|
{
|
|
group = "my_test_group"
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
],
|
|
health_checks = []
|
|
log_config = null
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
my-example-page = {
|
|
bucket_config = null
|
|
enable_cdn = false
|
|
cdn_config = null
|
|
group_config = {
|
|
backends = [
|
|
{
|
|
group = "my_other_test_group"
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
],
|
|
health_checks = []
|
|
log_config = null
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
# tftest modules=1 resources=6
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Reserve a static IP address
|
|
|
|
Optionally, a static IP address can be reserved:
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
module "glb" {
|
|
source = "./fabric/modules/net-glb"
|
|
name = "glb-test"
|
|
project_id = var.project_id
|
|
|
|
reserve_ip_address = true
|
|
|
|
backend_services_config = {
|
|
my-group-backend = {
|
|
bucket_config = null
|
|
enable_cdn = false
|
|
cdn_config = null
|
|
group_config = {
|
|
backends = [
|
|
{
|
|
group = "my_test_group"
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
],
|
|
health_checks = []
|
|
log_config = null
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
# tftest modules=1 resources=6
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### HTTPS And SSL Certificates
|
|
|
|
HTTPS is disabled by default but it can be optionally enabled.
|
|
The module supports both managed and unmanaged certificates, and they can be either created contextually with other resources or attached, if already existing.
|
|
|
|
If no `ssl_certificates_config` variable is specified, a managed certificate for the domain *example.com* is automatically created.
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
module "glb" {
|
|
source = "./fabric/modules/net-glb"
|
|
name = "glb-test"
|
|
project_id = var.project_id
|
|
|
|
https = true
|
|
|
|
backend_services_config = {
|
|
my-group-backend = {
|
|
bucket_config = null
|
|
enable_cdn = false
|
|
cdn_config = null
|
|
group_config = {
|
|
backends = [
|
|
{
|
|
group = "my_test_group"
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
],
|
|
health_checks = []
|
|
log_config = null
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
# tftest modules=1 resources=6
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, SSL certificates can be explicitely defined. In this case, they'll need to be referenced from the `target_proxy_https_config.ssl_certificates` variable.
|
|
|
|
If the ids specified in the `target_proxy_https_config` variable are not found in the `ssl_certificates_config` map, they are used as is, assuming the ssl certificates already exist.
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
module "glb" {
|
|
source = "./fabric/modules/net-glb"
|
|
name = "glb-test"
|
|
project_id = var.project_id
|
|
|
|
https = true
|
|
|
|
ssl_certificates_config = {
|
|
my-domain = {
|
|
domains = [
|
|
"my-domain.com"
|
|
],
|
|
unmanaged_config = null
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
target_proxy_https_config = {
|
|
ssl_certificates = [
|
|
"my-domain",
|
|
"an-existing-cert"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
backend_services_config = {
|
|
my-group-backend = {
|
|
bucket_config = null
|
|
enable_cdn = false
|
|
cdn_config = null
|
|
group_config = {
|
|
backends = [
|
|
{
|
|
group = "my_test_group"
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
health_checks = []
|
|
log_config = null
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
# tftest modules=1 resources=6
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Using unamanged certificates is also possible. Here is an example:
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
module "glb" {
|
|
source = "./fabric/modules/net-glb"
|
|
name = "glb-test"
|
|
project_id = var.project_id
|
|
|
|
https = true
|
|
|
|
ssl_certificates_config = {
|
|
my-domain = {
|
|
domains = [
|
|
"my-domain.com"
|
|
],
|
|
unmanaged_config = {
|
|
tls_private_key = nonsensitive(tls_private_key.self_signed_key.private_key_pem)
|
|
tls_self_signed_cert = nonsensitive(tls_self_signed_cert.self_signed_cert.cert_pem)
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
target_proxy_https_config = {
|
|
ssl_certificates = [
|
|
"my-domain"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
backend_services_config = {
|
|
my-group-backend = {
|
|
bucket_config = null
|
|
enable_cdn = false
|
|
cdn_config = null
|
|
group_config = {
|
|
backends = [
|
|
{
|
|
group = "my_test_group"
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
],
|
|
health_checks = []
|
|
log_config = null
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
resource "tls_private_key" "self_signed_key" {
|
|
algorithm = "RSA"
|
|
rsa_bits = 2048
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
resource "tls_self_signed_cert" "self_signed_cert" {
|
|
private_key_pem = tls_private_key.self_signed_key.private_key_pem
|
|
validity_period_hours = 12
|
|
early_renewal_hours = 3
|
|
dns_names = ["example.com"]
|
|
allowed_uses = [
|
|
"key_encipherment",
|

|
|
]
|
|
subject {

}
|
|
}
|
|
# tftest modules=1 resources=8
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Regional Load Balancing
|
|
|
|
You can also use regional load balancing by specifying a `region` parameter:
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
module "glb" {
|
|
source = "./fabric/modules/net-glb"
|
|
name = "glb-test"
|
|
project_id = var.project_id
|
|
region = var.region
|
|
|
|
backend_services_config = {
|
|
my-group-backend = {
|
|
bucket_config = null
|
|
enable_cdn = false
|
|
cdn_config = null
|
|
group_config = {
|
|
backends = [
|
|
{
|
|
group = "my_test_group"
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
],
|
|
health_checks = []
|
|
log_config = null
|
|
options = null
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
# tftest modules=1 resources=5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Components And Files Mapping
|
|
|
|
An External Global Load Balancer is made of multiple components, that change depending on the configurations. Sometimes, it may be tricky to understand what they are, and how they relate to each other. Following, we provide a very brief overview to become more familiar with them.
|
|
|
|
- The global load balancer [forwarding rule](global-forwarding-rule.tf) binds a frontend public Virtual IP (VIP) to an HTTP(S) [target proxy](target-proxy.tf).
|
|
- If the target proxy is HTTPS, it requires one or more managed or unmanaged [SSL certificates](ssl-certificates.tf).
|
|
Target proxies leverage [url-maps](url-map.tf): set of L7 rules, which create a mapping between specific hostnames, URIs (and more) to one or more [backends services](backend-services.tf).
|
|
- [Backend services](backend-services.tf) can either link to a bucket or one or multiple groups, which can be GCE instance groups or NEGs. It is assumed in this module that buckets and groups are previously created through other modules, and passed in as input variables.
|
|
- Backend services support one or more [health checks](health-checks.tf), used to verify that the backend is indeed healthy, so that traffic can be forwarded to it. Health checks currently supported in this module are HTTP, HTTPS, HTTP2, SSL, TCP.
