google_compute_instance_group_manager

The Google Compute Engine Instance Group Manager API creates and manages pools of homogeneous Compute Engine virtual machine instances from a common instance template. For more information, see the official documentation and API

~> Note: Use google_compute_region_instance_group_manager to create a regional (multi-zone) instance group manager.

Example Usage

resource "google_compute_health_check" "autohealing" {
  name                = "autohealing-health-check"
  check_interval_sec  = 5
  timeout_sec         = 5
  healthy_threshold   = 2
  unhealthy_threshold = 10                         # 50 seconds

  http_health_check {
    request_path = "/healthz"
    port         = "8080"
  }
}

resource "google_compute_instance_group_manager" "appserver" {
  name = "appserver-igm"

  base_instance_name = "app"
  instance_template  = "${google_compute_instance_template.appserver.self_link}"
  update_strategy    = "NONE"
  zone               = "us-central1-a"

  target_pools = ["${google_compute_target_pool.appserver.self_link}"]
  target_size  = 2

  named_port {
    name = "customHTTP"
    port = 8888
  }

  auto_healing_policies {
    health_check      = "${google_compute_health_check.autohealing.self_link}"
    initial_delay_sec = 300
  }
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

• base_instance_name - (Required) The base instance name to use for instances in this group. The value must be a valid RFC1035 name. Supported characters are lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (-). Instances are named by appending a hyphen and a random four-character string to the base instance name.

• instance_template - (Required) The full URL to an instance template from which all new instances will be created.

• name - (Required) The name of the instance group manager. Must be 1-63 characters long and comply with RFC1035. Supported characters include lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.

• zone - (Required) The zone that instances in this group should be created in.

---

• description - (Optional) An optional textual description of the instance group manager.

• named_port - (Optional) The named port configuration. See the section below for details on configuration.

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

• update_strategy - (Optional, Default "RESTART") If the instance_template resource is modified, a value of "NONE" will prevent any of the managed instances from being restarted by Terraform. A value of "RESTART" will restart all of the instances at once. In the future, as the GCE API matures we will support "ROLLING_UPDATE" as well.

• target_size - (Optional) The target number of running instances for this managed instance group. This value should always be explicitly set unless this resource is attached to an autoscaler, in which case it should never be set. Defaults to 0.

• target_pools - (Optional) The full URL of all target pools to which new instances in the group are added. Updating the target pools attribute does not affect existing instances.

---

• auto_healing_policies - (Optional, Beta) The autohealing policies for this managed instance group. You can specify only one value. Structure is documented below. For more information, see the official documentation.

The named_port block supports: (Include a named_port block for each named-port required).

• name - (Required) The name of the port.

• port - (Required) The port number.

The auto_healing_policies block supports:

• health_check - (Required) The health check resource that signals autohealing.

• initial_delay_sec - (Required) The number of seconds that the managed instance group waits before it applies autohealing policies to new instances or recently recreated instances. Between 0 and 3600.

Attributes Reference

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

• fingerprint - The fingerprint of the instance group manager.

• instance_group - The full URL of the instance group created by the manager.

• self_link - The URL of the created resource.

Import

Instance group managers can be imported using the name, e.g.

$ terraform import google_compute_instance_group_manager.appserver appserver-igm
