Documentation

gcp-managed-instance-group

A zonal Managed Instance Group built from a hardened instance template: Shielded VM, Debian 12, private by default (no external IP). Optional CPU-based autoscaling and autohealing. The instance template is created with create_before_destroy, so template changes roll without an outage. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), Google provider >= 7.0, < 8.0.

What you get:

  • A google_compute_instance_template (e2-micro, 10 GB pd-balanced Debian 12, Shielded VM, OS Login) with create_before_destroy
  • A zonal google_compute_instance_group_manager with named ports, an update policy, and optional autohealing
  • An optional google_compute_autoscaler (CPU target) that owns the group size

Requirements

RequirementVersion
Terraform / OpenTofu>= 1.6
hashicorp/google>= 7.0, < 8.0

Verification

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