» google_compute_global_forwarding_rule

Manages a Global Forwarding Rule within GCE. This binds an ip and port to a target HTTP(s) proxy. For more information see the official documentation and API.

» Example Usage

resource "google_compute_global_forwarding_rule" "default" {
  name       = "default-rule"
  target     = "${google_compute_target_http_proxy.default.self_link}"
  port_range = "80"
}

resource "google_compute_target_http_proxy" "default" {
  name        = "test-proxy"
  description = "a description"
  url_map     = "${google_compute_url_map.default.self_link}"
}

resource "google_compute_url_map" "default" {
  name            = "url-map"
  description     = "a description"
  default_service = "${google_compute_backend_service.default.self_link}"

  host_rule {
    hosts        = ["mysite.com"]
    path_matcher = "allpaths"
  }

  path_matcher {
    name            = "allpaths"
    default_service = "${google_compute_backend_service.default.self_link}"

    path_rule {
      paths   = ["/*"]
      service = "${google_compute_backend_service.default.self_link}"
    }
  }
}

resource "google_compute_backend_service" "default" {
  name        = "default-backend"
  port_name   = "http"
  protocol    = "HTTP"
  timeout_sec = 10

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

resource "google_compute_http_health_check" "default" {
  name               = "test"
  request_path       = "/"
  check_interval_sec = 1
  timeout_sec        = 1
}

» Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

• name - (Required) A unique name for the resource, required by GCE. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

• target - (Required) URL of target HTTP or HTTPS proxy.

• description - (Optional) Textual description field.

• ip_address - (Optional) The static IP. (if not set, an ephemeral IP is used). This should be the literal IP address to be used, not the self_link to a google_compute_global_address resource. (If using a google_compute_global_address resource, use the address property instead of the self_link property.)

• ip_protocol - (Optional) The IP protocol to route, one of "TCP" "UDP" "AH" "ESP" or "SCTP". (default "TCP").

• port_range - (Optional) A range e.g. "1024-2048" or a single port "1024" (defaults to all ports!). Some types of forwarding targets have constraints on the acceptable ports:

  • Target HTTP proxy: 80, 8080
  • Target HTTPS proxy: 443
  • Target TCP proxy: 25, 43, 110, 143, 195, 443, 465, 587, 700, 993, 995, 1883, 5222
  • Target SSL proxy: 25, 43, 110, 143, 195, 443, 465, 587, 700, 993, 995, 1883, 5222
  • Target VPN gateway: 500, 4500

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

• ip_version - (Optional) The IP Version that will be used by this resource's address. One of "IPV4" or "IPV6". You cannot provide this and ip_address.

• labels - (Optional, Beta) A set of key/value label pairs to assign to the resource.

» Attributes Reference

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

• self_link - The URI of the created resource.

• label_fingerprint (Beta) - The current label fingerprint.

» Import

Global forwarding rules can be imported using the name, e.g.

$ terraform import google_compute_global_forwarding_rule.default default-rule
