For more information see 12 [the official documentation](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances) 13 and 14 [API](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/latest/instances). 15 16 17 ## Example Usage 18 19 ```js 20 resource "google_compute_instance" "default" { 21 name = "test" 22 machine_type = "n1-standard-1" 23 zone = "us-central1-a" 24 25 tags = ["foo", "bar"] 26 27 disk { 28 image = "debian-7-wheezy-v20160301" 29 } 30 31 // Local SSD disk 32 disk { 33 type = "local-ssd" 34 scratch = true 35 } 36 37 network_interface { 38 network = "default" 39 access_config { 40 // Ephemeral IP 41 } 42 } 43 44 metadata { 45 foo = "bar" 46 } 47 48 metadata_startup_script = "echo hi > /test.txt" 49 50 service_account { 51 scopes = ["userinfo-email", "compute-ro", "storage-ro"] 52 } 53 } 54 ``` 55 56 ## Argument Reference 57 58 The following arguments are supported: 59 60 * `disk` - (Required) Disks to attach to the instance. This can be specified 61 multiple times for multiple disks. Structure is documented below. 62 63 * `machine_type` - (Required) The machine type to create.To create a custom 64 machine type, value should be set as specified 65 [here](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/latest/instances#machineType) 66 67 * `name` - (Required) A unique name for the resource, required by GCE. 68 Changing this forces a new resource to be created. 69 70 * `zone` - (Required) The zone that the machine should be created in. 71 72 - - - 73 74 * `can_ip_forward` - (Optional) Whether to allow sending and receiving of 75 packets with non-matching source or destination IPs. 76 This defaults to false. 77 78 * `description` - (Optional) A brief description of this resource. 79 80 * `metadata` - (Optional) Metadata key/value pairs to make available from 81 within the instance. 82 83 * `metadata_startup_script` - (Optional) An alternative to using the 84 startup-script metadata key, except this one forces the instance to be 85 recreated (thus re-running the script) if it is changed. This replaces the 86 startup-script metadata key on the created instance and thus the two 87 mechanisms are not allowed to be used simultaneously. 88 89 * `network_interface` - (Required) Networks to attach to the instance. This can 90 be specified multiple times for multiple networks, but GCE is currently 91 limited to just 1. Structure is documented below. 92 93 * `network` - (DEPRECATED, Required) Networks to attach to the instance. This 94 can be specified multiple times for multiple networks. Structure is 95 documented below. 96 97 * `project` - (Optional) The project in which the resource belongs. If it 98 is not provided, the provider project is used. 99 100 * `scheduling` - (Optional) The scheduling strategy to use. More details about 101 this configuration option are detailed below. 102 103 * `service_account` - (Optional) Service account to attach to the instance. 104 Structure is documented below. 105 106 * `tags` - (Optional) Tags to attach to the instance. 107 108 The `disk` block supports: (Note that either disk or image is required, unless 109 the type is "local-ssd", in which case scratch must be true). 110 111 * `disk` - The name of the existing disk (such as those managed by 112 `google_compute_disk`) to attach. 113 114 * `image` - The image from which to initialize this 115 disk. Either the full URL, a contraction of the form "project/name", or 116 just a name (in which case the current project is used). 117 118 * `auto_delete` - (Optional) Whether or not the disk should be auto-deleted. 119 This defaults to true. Leave true for local SSDs. 120 121 * `type` - (Optional) The GCE disk type, e.g. pd-standard, pd-ssd, or local-ssd. 122 123 * `scratch` - (Optional) Whether the disk is a scratch disk as opposed to a 124 persistent disk (required for local-ssd). 125 126 * `size` - (Optional) The size of the image in gigabytes. If not specified, it 127 will inherit the size of its base image. Do not specify for local SSDs as 128 their size is fixed. 129 130 * `device_name` - (Optional) Name with which attached disk will be accessible 131 under `/dev/disk/by-id/` 132 133 The `network_interface` block supports: 134 135 * `network` - (Optional) The name of the network to attach this interface to. 136 Either `network` or `subnetwork` must be provided. 137 138 * `subnetwork` - (Optional) the name of the subnetwork to attach this interface 139 to. The subnetwork must exist in the same region this instance will be 140 created in. Either `network` or `subnetwork` must be provided. 141 142 * `access_config` - (Optional) Access configurations, i.e. IPs via which this 143 instance can be accessed via the Internet. Omit to ensure that the instance 144 is not accessible from the Internet (this means that ssh provisioners will 145 not work unless you are running Terraform can send traffic to the instance's 146 network (e.g. via tunnel or because it is running on another cloud instance 147 on that network). This block can be repeated multiple times. Structure 148 documented below. 149 150 The `access_config` block supports: 151 152 * `nat_ip` - (Optional) The IP address that will be 1:1 mapped to the instance's 153 network ip. If not given, one will be generated. 154 155 The `service_account` block supports: 156 157 * `email` - (Optional) The service account e-mail address. If not given, the 158 default Google Compute Engine service account is used. 159 160 * `scopes` - (Required) A list of service scopes. Both OAuth2 URLs and gcloud 161 short names are supported. 162 163 (DEPRECATED) The `network` block supports: 164 165 * `source` - (Required) The name of the network to attach this interface to. 166 167 * `address` - (Optional) The IP address of a reserved IP address to assign 168 to this interface. 169 170 The `scheduling` block supports: 171 172 * `preemptible` - (Optional) Is the instance preemptible. 173 174 * `on_host_maintenance` - (Optional) Describes maintenance behavior for the 175 instance. Can be MIGRATE or TERMINATE, for more info, read 176 [here](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/setting-instance-scheduling-options) 177 178 * `automatic_restart` - (Optional) Specifies if the instance should be 179 restarted if it was terminated by Compute Engine (not a user). 180 181 ## Attributes Reference 182 183 In addition to the arguments listed above, the following computed attributes are 184 exported: 185 186 * `metadata_fingerprint` - The unique fingerprint of the metadata. 187 188 * `self_link` - The URI of the created resource. 189 190 * `tags_fingerprint` - The unique fingerprint of the tags. 191 192 * `network_interface.0.address` - The internal ip address of the instance (usually on the 10.x.x.x range). 193 194 * `network_interface.0.access_config.0.assigned_nat_ip` - If the instance has an access config, either the given external ip (in the `nat_ip` field) or the ephemeral (generated) ip (if you didn't provide one). 195
