This module was generated from terraform-google-module-template, which by default generates a module that simply creates a GCS bucket. As the module develops, this README should be updated.

The resources/services/activations/deletions that this module will create/trigger are:

• Instance Template
• Managed Instance Group
• Load Balancer

Create a Managed Instance Group exposed by a HTTP Load Balancer.

Create a virtual machine cluster with a load balancer to make the VMs globally available, and instantaneously manage traffic. You can choose whether to deploy your solution through the console directly or download as Terraform on GitHub to deploy later.

1. The user makes a request to the application, which is deployed on Compute Engine. The request first lands on Cloud Load Balancing.
2. Cloud Load Balancing distributes traffic to the Compute Engine Managed Instance Group (MIG), which scales the number of instances based on traffic volume.

• Architecture Diagram

Basic usage of this module is as follows:

module "load_balanced_vms" {
  source  = "terraform-google-modules/load-balanced-vms/google"
  version = "~> 0.4"

  project_id  = "<PROJECT ID>"
  region = "us-central1"
  zone = "us-central1-a"
  nodes = "3"
  deployment_name = "load-balanced-vms"
}

An other way of using this Terraform solution is with DeployStack, which will ask for setting options in Cloud Shell.

Functional examples are included in the examples directory.

{
  "load-balanced-vms": true
}
