» google_storage_object_signed_url

The Google Cloud storage signed URL data source generates a signed URL for a given storage object. Signed URLs provide a way to give time-limited read or write access to anyone in possession of the URL, regardless of whether they have a Google account.

For more info about signed URL's is available here.

» Example Usage 

data "google_storage_object_signed_url" "artifact" {
  bucket = "install_binaries"
  path   = "path/to/install_file.bin"

}

resource "google_compute_instance" "vm" {
    name = "vm"
    ...

    provisioner "remote-exec" {
        inline = [
                "wget '${data.google_storage_object_signed_url.artifact.signed_url}' -O install_file.bin",
                "chmod +x install_file.bin",
                "./install_file.bin"
                ]
     }
}

» Full Example 

data "google_storage_object_signed_url" "get_url" {
  bucket       = "fried_chicken"
  path         = "path/to/file"
  content_md5  = "pRviqwS4c4OTJRTe03FD1w=="
  content_type = "text/plain"
  duration     = "2d"
  credentials  = "${file("path/to/credentials.json")}"

  extension_headers = {
    x-goog-if-generation-match = 1
  }
}

» Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • bucket - (Required) The name of the bucket to read the object from
  • path - (Required) The full path to the object inside the bucket
  • http_method - (Optional) What HTTP Method will the signed URL allow (defaults to GET)
  • duration - (Optional) For how long shall the signed URL be valid (defaults to 1 hour - i.e. 1h). See here for info on valid duration formats.
  • credentials - (Optional) What Google service account credentials json should be used to sign the URL. This data source checks the following locations for credentials, in order of preference: data source credentials attribute, provider credentials attribute and finally the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable.

NOTE the default google credentials configured by gcloud sdk or the service account associated with a compute instance cannot be used, because these do not include the private key required to sign the URL. A valid json service account credentials key file must be used, as generated via Google cloud console.

  • content_type - (Optional) If you specify this in the datasource, the client must provide the Content-Type HTTP header with the same value in its request.
  • content_md5 - (Optional) The MD5 digest value in Base64. Typically retrieved from google_storage_bucket_object.object.md5hash attribute. If you provide this in the datasource, the client (e.g. browser, curl) must provide the Content-MD5 HTTP header with this same value in its request.
  • extension_headers - (Optional) As needed. The server checks to make sure that the client provides matching values in requests using the signed URL. Any header starting with x-goog- is accepted but see the Google Docs for list of headers that are supported by Google.

» Attributes Reference

The following attributes are exported:

  • signed_url - The signed URL that can be used to access the storage object without authentication.
