Cloud Bigtable Instance & Table

gcp-bigtable

Cloud Bigtable — a single-cluster instance (one 1-node SSD cluster, the smallest manually-sized footprint) plus a table with column families. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), Google provider >= 7.0, < 8.0.

Secure, cost-aware defaults:

• One cluster, num_nodes = 1, storage_type = "SSD"
• deletion_protection = true (drives both resources — see below)
• IAM-only access (Bigtable has no public endpoint); optional CMEK
• instance_type omitted (deprecated)

One switch, two spellings of deletion protection

Bigtable spells deletion protection differently per resource. This module hides that behind a single bool deletion_protection:

Resource	Native field	Driven by
google_bigtable_instance	deletion_protection (bool)	var.deletion_protection
google_bigtable_table	deletion_protection (string PROTECTED/UNPROTECTED)	var.deletion_protection ? "PROTECTED" : "UNPROTECTED"

force_destroy = true additionally clears any instance backups so they never block a destroy.

Requirements

• Terraform or OpenTofu >= 1.6
• hashicorp/google >= 7.0, < 8.0
• APIs: bigtable.googleapis.com, bigtableadmin.googleapis.com

Verification

Static-validated (fmt, validate, tflint). Live apply/destroy testing pending cloud sandbox availability — see catalog status.
