» Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • name - (Required) Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.

  • network - (Required) The network this VPN gateway is accepting traffic for.


  • description - (Optional) An optional description of this resource.

  • region - (Optional) The region this gateway should sit in.

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

» Attributes Reference

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

» Timeouts

This resource provides the following Timeouts configuration options:

  • create - Default is 4 minutes.
  • delete - Default is 4 minutes.
