Documentation

gcp-internal-lb

An internal passthrough Network Load Balancer: a health check, a regional backend service (load_balancing_scheme = INTERNAL), and an internal forwarding rule. Backends are optional, so the LB stands up before — or without — any instance groups; wire MIGs in as they come online. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), Google provider >= 7.0, < 8.0.

What you get:

  • A google_compute_health_check (TCP by default; HTTP/HTTPS supported)
  • A regional google_compute_region_backend_service (INTERNAL, balancing_mode = CONNECTION) with optional instance-group backends
  • An internal google_compute_forwarding_rule on your VPC subnet, with an auto-allocated (or static) internal IP

Requirements
