Syntax

A google_compute_node_template is used to test a Google NodeTemplate 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_node_template(project: 'chef-gcp-inspec', region: 'europe-west2', name: 'inspec-node-template') do
  it { should exist }
  its('node_affinity_labels') { should include('key' => 'value') }
end

describe google_compute_node_template(project: 'chef-gcp-inspec', region: 'europe-west2', name: 'nonexistent') do
  it { should_not exist }
end

Properties

Properties that can be accessed from the google_compute_node_template resource:

creation_timestamp

Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.

description

An optional textual description of the resource.

name

Name of the resource.

node_affinity_labels

Labels to use for node affinity, which will be used in instance scheduling.

node_type

Node type to use for nodes group that are created from this template. Only one of nodeTypeFlexibility and nodeType can be specified.

node_type_flexibility

Flexible properties for the desired node type. Node groups that use this node template will create nodes of a type that matches these properties. Only one of nodeTypeFlexibility and nodeType can be specified.

cpus

Number of virtual CPUs to use.

memory

Physical memory available to the node, defined in MB.

local_ssd

Use local SSD

server_binding

(Beta only) The server binding policy for nodes using this template. Determines where the nodes should restart following a maintenance event.

type

Type of server binding policy. If RESTART_NODE_ON_ANY_SERVER, nodes using this template will restart on any physical server following a maintenance event. If RESTART_NODE_ON_MINIMAL_SERVER, nodes using this template will restart on the same physical server following a maintenance event, instead of being live migrated to or restarted on a new physical server. This option may be useful if you are using software licenses tied to the underlying server characteristics such as physical sockets or cores, to avoid the need for additional licenses when maintenance occurs. However, VMs on such nodes will experience outages while maintenance is applied.

Possible values:

• RESTART_NODE_ON_ANY_SERVER
• RESTART_NODE_ON_MINIMAL_SERVERS

region

Region where nodes using the node template will be created

GCP Permissions

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