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 * `address` - (Optional) The private IP address to assign to the instance. If 143 empty, the address will be automatically assigned. 144 145 * `access_config` - (Optional) Access configurations, i.e. IPs via which this 146 instance can be accessed via the Internet. Omit to ensure that the instance 147 is not accessible from the Internet (this means that ssh provisioners will 148 not work unless you are running Terraform can send traffic to the instance's 149 network (e.g. via tunnel or because it is running on another cloud instance 150 on that network). This block can be repeated multiple times. Structure 151 documented below. 152 153 The `access_config` block supports: 154 155 * `nat_ip` - (Optional) The IP address that will be 1:1 mapped to the instance's 156 network ip. If not given, one will be generated. 157 158 The `service_account` block supports: 159 160 * `email` - (Optional) The service account e-mail address. If not given, the 161 default Google Compute Engine service account is used. 162 163 * `scopes` - (Required) A list of service scopes. Both OAuth2 URLs and gcloud 164 short names are supported. 165 166 (DEPRECATED) The `network` block supports: 167 168 * `source` - (Required) The name of the network to attach this interface to. 169 170 * `address` - (Optional) The IP address of a reserved IP address to assign 171 to this interface. 172 173 The `scheduling` block supports: 174 175 * `preemptible` - (Optional) Is the instance preemptible. 176 177 * `on_host_maintenance` - (Optional) Describes maintenance behavior for the 178 instance. Can be MIGRATE or TERMINATE, for more info, read 179 [here](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/setting-instance-scheduling-options) 180 181 * `automatic_restart` - (Optional) Specifies if the instance should be 182 restarted if it was terminated by Compute Engine (not a user). 183 184 ## Attributes Reference 185 186 In addition to the arguments listed above, the following computed attributes are 187 exported: 188 189 * `metadata_fingerprint` - The unique fingerprint of the metadata. 190 191 * `self_link` - The URI of the created resource. 192 193 * `tags_fingerprint` - The unique fingerprint of the tags. 194 195 * `network_interface.0.address` - The internal ip address of the instance, either manually or dynamically assigned. 196 197 * `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). 198
