使用terraform 来创建GCP的instance template 和基于它的vm

本人在上一篇的文章中已经介绍了如何去创建 google cloud的 vm 的image 和 instance template了
url：
快速构建自定义配置好的VM - 使用GCP instance-template 和 custom-image

但是里面的操作是基于gcloud CLI的。

在实际项目上，我们对google cloud infra的change 更常有的是terraform。这里也简单介绍下如何利用terraform去创建vm instance template 和对应的vm

下面的内容都是参考自官方terraform 文档：
https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/latest/docs/resources/compute_instance_from_template

创建实例模板 vm instance template

首先在terraform的vm module里新建1个tf 文件 instance_template.tf, 其实terraform的module folder 内是支持把内容写在多个文件的，比起单一的main.tf 来讲更加容易管理
在这里插入图片描述

接下来就简单了，我们可以把vm module原来了定义vm的代码块抄过来，只是下面的部分需要注意修改：

resource "google_compute_instance_template" "vm-template-vpc0-subnet0-e2-small-tomcat" {
  name         = "vm-template-vpc0-subnet0-e2-small-tomcat"
  machine_type = "e2-small"

  disk {
    source_image = "https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/jason-hsbc/global/images/e2-small-tomcat-image"
    auto_delete  = true
    disk_size_gb = 20
    boot         = true
  }

  network_interface {
    network =  var.vpc0
    subnetwork =  var.vpc0_subnet0    
  }

 service_account {
    email  = "vm-common@jason-hsbc.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
    scopes = ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"]
  }

  # https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/latest/docs/resources/compute_instance#provisioning_model
  # to reduce cost
  scheduling { 
    automatic_restart = false # Scheduling must have preemptible be false when AutomaticRestart is true.
    provisioning_model = "SPOT"
    preemptible         = true
    instance_termination_action = "STOP"
  }

  can_ip_forward = false
}

注意修改的部分：

resource 是google_compute_instance_template 而不是 google_compute_instance
source image 记得改成你自定义的image, 如果你需要预安装配置某些软件的话(jdk/tomcat…)

当执行玩terraform 一套命令后(init/plan/apply) ， 1个新的vm instance template 就会被创建vm-template-vpc0-subnet0-e2-small-tomcat

[gateman@manjaro-x13 ~]$ gcloud compute instance-templates list

创建基于vm instance template 创建vm

这个也很简单
首先继续在vm module里添加1个新的tf文件 vm_from_template.tf
在这里插入图片描述
接下来，使用下面的terraform代码创建1个vm

resource "google_compute_instance_from_template" "tf-vpc0-subnet0-vm21" {
  name         = "tf-vpc0-subnet0-vm21"
  project      = var.project_id
  zone         = var.zone_id

  # from a instance template
  source_instance_template = google_compute_instance_template.vm-template-vpc0-subnet0-e2-small-tomcat.self_link_unique
}

注意的是resource 那么不能是google_compute_instance 而是 google_compute_instance_from_template

但执行玩terraform 命令一套后， 1个新的vm会被创建

测试过，可以正确加载我们的自定义镜像，也就是tomcat 已经被安装和启动了

创建基于vm 的单独设置可以覆盖 Instance template 上相应的值

这里做个测试
我在terraform加多1个resource tf-vpc0-subnet1-vm1

resource "google_compute_instance_from_template" "tf-vpc0-subnet0-vm21" {
  name         = "tf-vpc0-subnet0-vm21"
  project      = var.project_id
  zone         = var.zone_id

  # from a instance template
  source_instance_template = google_compute_instance_template.vm-template-vpc0-subnet0-e2-small-tomcat.self_link_unique
}


# The custom properties of vm_from_template could overwrite the pre-defined properties in instance template
resource "google_compute_instance_from_template" "tf-vpc0-subnet1-vm1" {
  name         = "tf-vpc0-subnet1-vm1"
  project      = var.project_id
  zone         = var.zone_id

  network_interface {
    network =  "tf-vpc0"
    subnetwork =  "tf-vpc0-subnet1"  # here the subnet property will overwrite the setting in instance template
  }
  # from a instance template
  source_instance_template = google_compute_instance_template.vm-template-vpc0-subnet0-e2-small-tomcat.self_link_unique
}

其中 subnetwork 我显式设为了 tf-vpc0-subnet1 , 而模板上的subnet 是 tf-vpc0-subnet0
当资源创建后, 可以见到subnet的值被覆盖了，相当方便。
