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. 104 105 * `tags` - (Optional) Tags to attach to the instance. 106 107 The `disk` block supports: (Note that either disk or image is required, unless 108 the type is "local-ssd", in which case scratch must be true). 109 110 * `disk` - The name of the existing disk (such as those managed by 111 `google_compute_disk`) to attach. 112 113 * `image` - The image from which to initialize this 114 disk. Either the full URL, a contraction of the form "project/name", or 115 just a name (in which case the current project is used). 116 117 * `auto_delete` - (Optional) Whether or not the disk should be auto-deleted. 118 This defaults to true. Leave true for local SSDs. 119 120 * `type` - (Optional) The GCE disk type, e.g. pd-standard, pd-ssd, or local-ssd. 121 122 * `scratch` - (Optional) Whether the disk is a scratch disk as opposed to a 123 persistent disk (required for local-ssd). 124 125 * `size` - (Optional) The size of the image in gigabytes. If not specified, it 126 will inherit the size of its base image. Do not specify for local SSDs as 127 their size is fixed. 128 129 * `device_name` - (Optional) Name with which attached disk will be accessible 130 under `/dev/disk/by-id/` 131 132 The `network_interface` block supports: 133 134 * `network` - (Optional) The name of the network to attach this interface to. 135 Either `network` or `subnetwork` must be provided. 136 137 * `subnetwork` - (Optional) the name of the subnetwork to attach this interface 138 to. The subnetwork must exist in the same region this instance will be 139 created in. Either `network` or `subnetwork` must be provided. 140 141 * `access_config` - (Optional) Access configurations, i.e. IPs via which this 142 instance can be accessed via the Internet. Omit to ensure that the instance 143 is not accessible from the Internet (this means that ssh provisioners will 144 not work unless you are running Terraform can send traffic tothe instance's 145 network (e.g. via tunnel or because it is running on another cloud instance 146 on that network). This block can be repeated multiple times. Structure 147 documented below. 148 149 The `access_config` block supports: 150 151 * `nat_ip` - (Optional) The IP address that will be 1:1 mapped to the instance's 152 network ip. If not given, one will be generated. 153 154 (DEPRECATED) The `network` block supports: 155 156 * `source` - (Required) The name of the network to attach this interface to. 157 158 * `address` - (Optional) The IP address of a reserved IP address to assign 159 to this interface. 160 161 The `service_account` block supports: 162 163 * `scopes` - (Required) A list of service scopes. Both OAuth2 URLs and gcloud 164 short names are supported. 165 166 The `scheduling` block supports: 167 168 * `preemptible` - (Optional) Is the instance preemptible. 169 170 * `on_host_maintenance` - (Optional) Describes maintenance behavior for the 171 instance. Can be MIGRATE or TERMINATE, for more info, read 172 [here](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/setting-instance-scheduling-options) 173 174 * `automatic_restart` - (Optional) Specifies if the instance should be 175 restarted if it was terminated by Compute Engine (not a user). 176 177 ## Attributes Reference 178 179 In addition to the arguments listed above, the following computed attributes are 180 exported: 181 182 * `metadata_fingerprint` - The unique fingerprint of the metadata. 183 184 * `self_link` - The URI of the created resource. 185 186 * `tags_fingerprint` - The unique fingerprint of the tags. 187 188 * `network_interface.0.address` - The internal ip address of the instance (usually on the 10.x.x.x range). 189 190 * `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). 191
