# google\_compute\_backend\_bucket

Backend buckets allow you to use Google Cloud Storage buckets with HTTP(S)
load balancing.

An HTTP(S) load balancer can direct traffic to specified URLs to a
backend bucket rather than a backend service. It can send requests for
static content to a Cloud Storage bucket and requests for dynamic content
a virtual machine instance.


To get more information about BackendBucket, see:

* [API documentation](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/v1/backendBuckets)
* How-to Guides
    * [Using a Cloud Storage bucket as a load balancer backend](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/http/backend-bucket)

## Example Usage - Backend Bucket Basic


```hcl
resource "google_compute_backend_bucket" "image_backend" {
  name        = "image-backend-bucket"
  description = "Contains beautiful images"
  bucket_name = "${google_storage_bucket.image_bucket.name}"
  enable_cdn  = true
}

resource "google_storage_bucket" "image_bucket" {
  name     = "image-store-bucket"
  location = "EU"
}
```

## Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:


* `bucket_name` -
  (Required)
  Cloud Storage bucket name.

* `name` -
  (Required)
  Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is
  created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with
  RFC1035.  Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and
  match the regular expression `[a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?` which means

  last character, which cannot be a dash.

* `description` -
  (Optional)
  An optional textual description of the resource; provided by the
  client when the resource is created.

* `enable_cdn` -
  (Optional)
  If true, enable Cloud CDN for this BackendBucket.
* `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

BackendBucket can be imported using any of these accepted formats:

```
$ terraform import google_compute_backend_bucket.default projects/{{project}}/global/backendBuckets/{{name}}
$ terraform import google_compute_backend_bucket.default {{project}}/{{name}}
$ terraform import google_compute_backend_bucket.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.
