google	Google: google_compute_region_backend_service	docs-google-compute-region-backend-service	Creates a Region Backend Service resource for Google Compute Engine.

google_compute_region_backend_service

A Region Backend Service defines a regionally-scoped group of virtual machines that will serve traffic for load balancing. For more information see the official documentation and API.

~> Note: Region backend services can only be used when using internal load balancing. For external load balancing, use google_compute_backend_service instead.

Example Usage

resource "google_compute_region_backend_service" "foobar" {
  name             = "blablah"
  description      = "Hello World 1234"
  protocol         = "TCP"
  timeout_sec      = 10
  session_affinity = "CLIENT_IP"

  backend {
    group = "${google_compute_region_instance_group_manager.foo.instance_group}"
  }

  health_checks = ["${google_compute_health_check.default.self_link}"]
}

resource "google_compute_region_instance_group_manager" "foo" {
  name               = "terraform-test"
  instance_template  = "${google_compute_instance_template.foobar.self_link}"
  base_instance_name = "foobar"
  region             = "us-central1"
  target_size        = 1
}

resource "google_compute_instance_template" "foobar" {
  name         = "terraform-test"
  machine_type = "n1-standard-1"

  network_interface {
    network = "default"
  }

  disk {
    source_image = "debian-cloud/debian-8"
    auto_delete  = true
    boot         = true
  }
}

resource "google_compute_health_check" "default" {
  name               = "test"
  check_interval_sec = 1
  timeout_sec        = 1

  tcp_health_check {
    port = "80"
  }
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

• name - (Required) The name of the backend service.

• health_checks - (Required) Specifies a list of health checks for checking the health of the backend service. Currently at most one health check can be specified, and a health check is required.

---

• backend - (Optional) The list of backends that serve this BackendService. Structure is documented below.

• description - (Optional) The textual description for the backend service.

• project - (Optional) The ID of the project in which the resource belongs. If it is not provided, the provider project is used.

• protocol - (Optional) The protocol for incoming requests. Defaults to TCP.

• session_affinity - (Optional) How to distribute load. Options are NONE (no affinity), CLIENT_IP, CLIENT_IP_PROTO, or CLIENT_IP_PORT_PROTO. Defaults to NONE.

• region - (Optional) The Region in which the created address should reside. If it is not provided, the provider region is used.

• timeout_sec - (Optional) The number of secs to wait for a backend to respond to a request before considering the request failed. Defaults to 30.

• connection_draining_timeout_sec - (Optional) Time for which instance will be drained (not accept new connections, but still work to finish started ones). Defaults to 0.

The backend block supports:

• group - (Required) The name or URI of a Compute Engine instance group (google_compute_region_instance_group_manager.xyz.instance_group) that can receive traffic. Instance groups must contain at least one instance.

• description - (Optional) Textual description for the backend.

Attributes Reference

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

• fingerprint - The fingerprint of the backend service.

• self_link - The URI of the created resource.
