    23  	description = "template description"
    24  	instance_description = "description assigned to instances"
    25  	machine_type = "n1-standard-1"

    27  	automatic_restart = true
    28  	on_host_maintenance = "MIGRATE"
    29  	tags = ["foo", "bar"]
    30

   140  (this means that ssh provisioners will not work unless you are running Terraform can send traffic to
   141  the instance's network (e.g. via tunnel or because it is running on another cloud instance on that
   142  network).  This block can be repeated multiple times.  Structure documented below.
