Google Compute Engine VM module

This module can operate in two distinct modes:

instance creation, with optional unmanaged group
instance template creation

In both modes, an optional service account can be created and assigned to either instances or template. If you need a managed instance group when using the module in template mode, refer to the compute-mig module.

Examples

Instance using defaults

The simplest example leverages defaults for the boot disk image and size, and uses a service account created by the module. Multiple instances can be managed via the instance_count variable.

module "simple-vm-example" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/compute-vm"
  project_id = var.project_id
  zone       = "europe-west1-b"
  name       = "test"
  network_interfaces = [{
    network    = var.vpc.self_link
    subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
  }]
  service_account_create = true
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=2

Spot VM

Spot VMs are ephemeral compute instances suitable for batch jobs and fault-tolerant workloads. Spot VMs provide new features that preemptible instances do not support, such as the absence of a maximum runtime.

module "spot-vm-example" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/compute-vm"
  project_id = var.project_id
  zone       = "europe-west1-b"
  name       = "test"
  options = {
    spot               = true
    termination_action = "STOP"
  }
  network_interfaces = [{
    network    = var.vpc.self_link
    subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
  }]
  service_account_create = true
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=2

Disk sources

Attached disks can be created and optionally initialized from a pre-existing source, or attached to VMs when pre-existing. The source and source_type attributes of the attached_disks variable allows several modes of operation:

source_type = "image" can be used with zonal disks in instances and templates, set source to the image name or link
source_type = "snapshot" can be used with instances only, set source to the snapshot name or link
source_type = "attach" can be used for both instances and templates to attach an existing disk, set source to the name (for zonal disks) or link (for regional disks) of the existing disk to attach; no disk will be created
source_type = null can be used where an empty disk is needed, source becomes irrelevant and can be left null

This is an example of attaching a pre-existing regional PD to a new instance:

module "simple-vm-example" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/compute-vm"
  project_id = var.project_id
  zone       = "${var.region}-b"
  name       = "test"
  network_interfaces = [{
    network    = var.vpc.self_link
    subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
  }]
  attached_disks = [{
    name        = "repd-1"
    size        = 10
    source_type = "attach"
    source      = "regions/${var.region}/disks/repd-test-1"
    options = {
      replica_zone = "${var.region}-c"
    }
  }]
  service_account_create = true
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=2

And the same example for an instance template (where not using the full self link of the disk triggers recreation of the template)

module "simple-vm-example" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/compute-vm"
  project_id = var.project_id
  zone       = "${var.region}-b"
  name       = "test"
  network_interfaces = [{
    network    = var.vpc.self_link
    subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
  }]
  attached_disks = [{
    name        = "repd"
    size        = 10
    source_type = "attach"
    source      = "https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/${var.project_id}/regions/${var.region}/disks/repd-test-1"
    options = {
      replica_zone = "${var.region}-c"
    }
  }]
  service_account_create = true
  create_template        = true
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=2

Disk encryption with Cloud KMS

This example shows how to control disk encryption via the the encryption variable, in this case the self link to a KMS CryptoKey that will be used to encrypt boot and attached disk. Managing the key with the ../kms module is of course possible, but is not shown here.

module "kms-vm-example" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/compute-vm"
  project_id = var.project_id
  zone       = "europe-west1-b"
  name       = "kms-test"
  network_interfaces = [{
    network    = var.vpc.self_link
    subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
  }]
  attached_disks = [
    {
      name = "attached-disk"
      size = 10
    }
  ]
  service_account_create = true
  boot_disk = {
    image = "projects/debian-cloud/global/images/family/debian-10"
  }
  encryption = {
    encrypt_boot      = true
    kms_key_self_link = var.kms_key.self_link
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=3

Using Alias IPs

This example shows how to add additional Alias IPs to your VM.

module "vm-with-alias-ips" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/compute-vm"
  project_id = "my-project"
  zone       = "europe-west1-b"
  name       = "test"
  network_interfaces = [{
    network    = var.vpc.self_link
    subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
    alias_ips = {
      alias1 = "10.16.0.10/32"
    }
  }]
  service_account_create = true
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=2

Using gVNIC

This example shows how to enable gVNIC on your VM by customizing a cos image. Given that gVNIC needs to be enabled as an instance configuration and as a guest os configuration, you'll need to supply a bootable disk with guest_os_features=GVNIC. SEV_CAPABLE, UEFI_COMPATIBLE and VIRTIO_SCSI_MULTIQUEUE are enabled implicitly in the cos, rhel, centos and other images.

resource "google_compute_image" "cos-gvnic" {
  project      = "my-project"
  name         = "my-image"
  source_image = "https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/cos-cloud/global/images/cos-89-16108-534-18"

  guest_os_features {
    type = "GVNIC"
  }
  guest_os_features {
    type = "SEV_CAPABLE"
  }
  guest_os_features {
    type = "UEFI_COMPATIBLE"
  }
  guest_os_features {
    type = "VIRTIO_SCSI_MULTIQUEUE"
  }
}

module "vm-with-gvnic" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/compute-vm"
  project_id = "my-project"
  zone       = "europe-west1-b"
  name       = "test"
  boot_disk = {
    image = google_compute_image.cos-gvnic.self_link
    type  = "pd-ssd"
  }
  network_interfaces = [{
    network    = var.vpc.self_link
    subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
    nic_type   = "GVNIC"
  }]
  service_account_create = true
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=3

Instance template

This example shows how to use the module to manage an instance template that defines an additional attached disk for each instance, and overrides defaults for the boot disk image and service account.

module "cos-test" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/compute-vm"
  project_id = "my-project"
  zone       = "europe-west1-b"
  name       = "test"
  network_interfaces = [{
    network    = var.vpc.self_link
    subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
  }]
  boot_disk = {
    image = "projects/cos-cloud/global/images/family/cos-stable"
  }
  attached_disks = [
    {
      name = "disk-1"
      size = 10
    }
  ]
  service_account = "[email protected]"
  create_template = true
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=1

Instance group

If an instance group is needed when operating in instance mode, simply set the group variable to a non null map. The map can contain named port declarations, or be empty if named ports are not needed.

locals {
  cloud_config = "my cloud config"
}

module "instance-group" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/compute-vm"
  project_id = "my-project"
  zone       = "europe-west1-b"
  name       = "ilb-test"
  network_interfaces = [{
    network    = var.vpc.self_link
    subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
  }]
  boot_disk = {
    image = "projects/cos-cloud/global/images/family/cos-stable"
  }
  service_account        = var.service_account.email
  service_account_scopes = ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"]
  metadata = {
    user-data = local.cloud_config
  }
  group = { named_ports = {} }
}
