# google\_compute\_node\_group

Represents a NodeGroup resource to manage a group of sole-tenant nodes.


To get more information about NodeGroup, see:

* [API documentation](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/nodeGroups)
* How-to Guides
    * [Sole-Tenant Nodes](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/nodes/)

~> **Warning:** Due to limitations of the API, Terraform cannot update the
number of nodes in a node group and changes to node group size either
through Terraform config or through external changes will cause
Terraform to delete and recreate the node group.

## Example Usage - Node Group Basic


```hcl
data "google_compute_node_types" "central1a" {
  zone = "us-central1-a"
}

resource "google_compute_node_template" "soletenant-tmpl" {
  name = "soletenant-tmpl"
  region = "us-central1"
  node_type = "${data.google_compute_node_types.central1a.names[0]}"
}

resource "google_compute_node_group" "nodes" {
  name = "soletenant-group"
  zone = "us-central1-a"
  description = "example google_compute_node_group for Terraform Google Provider"

  size = 1
  node_template = "${google_compute_node_template.soletenant-tmpl.self_link}"
}
```

## Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:


* `node_template` -
  (Required)
  The URL of the node template to which this node group belongs.

* `size` -
  (Required)
  The total number of nodes in the node group.


- - -


* `description` -
  (Optional)
  An optional textual description of the resource.

* `name` -
  (Optional)
  Name of the resource.

* `zone` -
  (Optional)
  Zone where this node group is located
* `project` - (Optional) The ID of the project in which the resource belongs.
    If it is not provided, the provider project is used.


## Attributes Reference

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


* `creation_timestamp` -
  Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
* `self_link` - The URI of the created resource.


## Timeouts

This resource provides the following
[Timeouts](/docs/configuration/resources.html#timeouts) configuration options:

- `create` - Default is 4 minutes.
- `update` - Default is 4 minutes.
- `delete` - Default is 4 minutes.

## Import

NodeGroup can be imported using any of these accepted formats:

```
$ terraform import google_compute_node_group.default projects/{{project}}/zones/{{zone}}/nodeGroups/{{name}}
$ terraform import google_compute_node_group.default {{project}}/{{zone}}/{{name}}
$ terraform import google_compute_node_group.default {{name}}
```

-> If you're importing a resource with beta features, make sure to include `-provider=google-beta`
as an argument so that Terraform uses the correct provider to import your resource.
