» google_compute_instance_from_template
Manages a VM instance resource within GCE. For more information see the official documentation and API.
This resource is specifically to create a compute instance from a given
source_instance_template. To create an instance without a template, use the
google_compute_instance resource.
» Example Usage
resource "google_compute_instance_template" "tpl" {
name = "template"
machine_type = "n1-standard-1"
disk {
source_image = "debian-cloud/debian-9"
auto_delete = true
disk_size_gb = 100
boot = true
}
network_interface {
network = "default"
}
metadata = {
foo = "bar"
}
can_ip_forward = true
}
resource "google_compute_instance_from_template" "tpl" {
name = "instance-from-template"
zone = "us-central1-a"
source_instance_template = "${google_compute_instance_template.tpl.self_link}"
// Override fields from instance template
can_ip_forward = false
labels = {
my_key = "my_value"
}
}
» 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. -
source_instance_template- (Required) Name or self link of an instance template to create the instance based on.
-
zone- (Optional) The zone that the machine should be created in. If not set, the provider zone is used.
In addition to these, all arguments from google_compute_instance are supported
as a way to override the properties in the template. All exported attributes
from google_compute_instance are likewise exported here.
To support removal of Optional/Computed fields in Terraform 0.12 the following fields
are marked Attributes as Blocks:
* attached_disk
* guest_accelerator
* service_account
* scratch_disk
* network_interface.alias_ip_range
* network_interface.access_config
