A Custom Image in a Family, Encrypted with Your Key and Shared by IAM

A custom Compute Engine image from a disk, snapshot, image or raw tarball (exactly one), in a family instances resolve, encrypted with your Cloud KMS key, stored in the location you choose and shared by a compute.imageUser binding. The guest features default to a current distribution image; no family and the Google-managed key are each accepted by name.

This is the operations reference: version drift, dependants and neighbours. For what the module provisions, its inputs and outputs, and how to buy it, see the catalogue entry.

Provider drift

This artifact declares no Terraform provider requirements, so there is nothing to drift. Provider freshness applies to Terraform and OpenTofu modules.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.

Nearest alternatives

Same cloud, same category. These are what you would weigh against it without changing provider.

The same job on other clouds

Golden Images on other providers. Useful when the cloud is still open, or when you are pricing a second one. How far a comparison like that can be trusted is covered in comparing clouds.

Installing it

module "gcp_compute_image" {
  source  = "www.iac-bazaar.com/iac-bazaar/gcp-compute-image/gcp"
  version = "1.0.0"
}

A registry token is required for the download itself. Installing through the registry protocol has the two credential steps.
