Syntax

A google_compute_instance_group is used to test a Google InstanceGroup resource

Beta Resource

This resource has beta fields available. To retrieve these fields, include beta: true in the constructor for the resource

Examples

describe google_compute_instance_group(project: 'chef-gcp-inspec', zone: 'zone', name: 'inspec-instance-group') do
  it { should exist }
  its('description') { should cmp 'My instance group for testing' }
  its('named_ports.count') { should cmp 1 }
  its('named_ports.first.name') { should cmp 'https' }
  its('named_ports.first.port') { should cmp '8080' }
end

describe google_compute_instance_group(project: 'chef-gcp-inspec', zone: 'zone', name: 'nonexistent') do
  it { should_not exist }
end

Test that a GCP compute instance group has the expected size

describe google_compute_instance_group(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp', zone: 'europe-west2-a', name: 'gcp-inspec-test') do
  its('size') { should eq 2 }
end

Test that a GCP compute instance group has a port with supplied name and value

describe google_compute_instance_group(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp', zone: 'europe-west2-a', name: 'gcp-inspec-test') do
  its('port_name') { should eq "http" }
  its('port_value') { should eq 80 }
end

Properties

Properties that can be accessed from the google_compute_instance_group resource:

creation_timestamp

Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.

description

An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.

id

A unique identifier for this instance group.

name

The name of the instance group. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035.

named_ports

Assigns a name to a port number. For example: {name: “http”, port: 80}. This allows the system to reference ports by the assigned name instead of a port number. Named ports can also contain multiple ports. For example: [{name: “http”, port: 80},{name: “http”, port: 8080}] Named ports apply to all instances in this instance group.

name

The name for this named port. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035.

port

The port number, which can be a value between 1 and 65535.

network

The network to which all instances in the instance group belong.

region

The region where the instance group is located (for regional resources).

subnetwork

The subnetwork to which all instances in the instance group belong.

zone

A reference to the zone where the instance group resides.

GCP Permissions

Ensure the Compute Engine API is enabled for the current project.
