Global external HTTPS Application Load Balancer — GCP's most confusing surface
(7+ interlocking resources) wired correctly in one module: static anycast IP,
Google-managed TLS certificates, URL-map host/path routing to instance-group
or NEG backends, optional Cloud CDN and Cloud Armor, plus an HTTP→HTTPS
redirect listener. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), Google
provider >= 7.0, < 8.0.
Secure defaults:
- Modern
EXTERNAL_MANAGEDload-balancing scheme - SSL policy with
MODERNprofile and TLS 1.2 minimum - HTTPS-only: port 80 serves a 301 redirect (toggleable)
- Cloud Armor attachment per backend when the policy is enabled
- Backend request logging on (sample rate 1.0)
Requirements
- Terraform or OpenTofu
>= 1.6 hashicorp/google>= 7.0, < 8.0- API:
