# AlloyDB module
This module manages the creation of an AlloyDB cluster. It also supports cross-region replication scenario by setting up a secondary cluster.
It can also create an initial set of users via the `users` variable.
Note that this module assumes that some options are the same for both the primary instance and the secondary one in case of cross regional replication configuration.
> [!WARNING]
> If you use the `users` field, you terraform state will contain each user's password in plain text.

## Examples
### Simple example
This example shows how to setup a project, VPC and AlloyDB cluster and instance.
```hcl
module "project" {
source = "./fabric/modules/project"
billing_account = var.billing_account_id
parent = var.folder_id
name = "alloydb"
prefix = var.prefix
services = [
"servicenetworking.googleapis.com",
"alloydb.googleapis.com",
]
}
module "vpc" {
source = "./fabric/modules/net-vpc"
project_id = module.project.project_id
name = "my-network"
# need only one - psa_config or subnets_psc
psa_configs = [{
ranges = { alloydb = "10.60.0.0/16" }
}]
subnets_psc = [{
ip_cidr_range = "10.0.3.0/24"
name = "psc"
region = var.region
}]
}
module "alloydb" {
source = "./fabric/modules/alloydb"
project_id = module.project.project_id
project_number = var.project_number
cluster_name = "db"
instance_name = "db"
location = var.region
network_config = {
psa_config = {
network = module.vpc.id
}
}
deletion_protection = false
}
# tftest modules=3 resources=17 inventory=simple.yaml e2e
```
### Read pool
One node read pool instance is always zonal, two or more nodes make the instance always regional. By default a read pool instance has one node.
```hcl
module "alloydb" {
source = "./fabric/modules/alloydb"
project_id = var.project_id
project_number = var.project_number
cluster_name = "db"
location = var.region
instance_name = "db"
network_config = {
psa_config = {
network = var.vpc.id
}
}
read_pool = {
"zonal-read-pool" = {}
"regional-read-pool" = {
node_count = 2
}
}
deletion_protection = false
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=4 inventory=read_pool.yaml e2e
```
### Read pool with advanced query insights
This example demonstrates how to configure an AlloyDB cluster with a read pool and enable [advanced query insights](https://docs.cloud.google.com/alloydb/docs/advanced-query-insights-overview) for both the primary instance and the read pool instance.
```hcl
module "project" {
source = "./fabric/modules/project"
billing_account = var.billing_account_id
parent = var.folder_id
name = "alloydb"
prefix = var.prefix
services = [
"servicenetworking.googleapis.com",
"alloydb.googleapis.com",
"geminicloudassist.googleapis.com"
]
}
module "vpc" {
source = "./fabric/modules/net-vpc"
project_id = module.project.project_id
name = "my-network"
# need only one - psa_config or subnets_psc
psa_configs = [{
ranges = { alloydb = "10.60.0.0/16" }
}]
subnets_psc = [{
ip_cidr_range = "10.0.3.0/24"
name = "psc"
region = var.region
}]
}
module "alloydb" {
source = "./fabric/modules/alloydb"
project_id = module.project.project_id
project_number = var.project_number
cluster_name = "db"
instance_name = "db"
location = var.region
network_config = {
psa_config = {
network = module.vpc.id
}
}
read_pool = {
"regional-read-pool" = {
node_count = 2
observability_config = {
enabled = true
preserve_comments = true
track_wait_events = true
max_query_string_length = 20480
record_application_tags = true
query_plans_per_minute = 30
track_active_queries = true
track_client_address = true
assistive_experiences_enabled = true
}
}
}
observability_config = {
enabled = true
preserve_comments = true
track_wait_events = true
max_query_string_length = 20480
record_application_tags = true
query_plans_per_minute = 30
track_active_queries = true
track_client_address = true
assistive_experiences_enabled = true
}
deletion_protection = false
}
# tftest modules=3 resources=19 inventory=read_pool_with_advanced_query_insights.yaml e2e
```
### Cross region replication
```hcl
module "alloydb" {
source = "./fabric/modules/alloydb"
project_id = var.project_id
project_number = var.project_number
cluster_name = "db"
location = var.region
instance_name = "db"
network_config = {
psa_config = {
network = var.vpc.id
}
}
cross_region_replication = {
enabled = true
region = "europe-west12"
}
deletion_protection = false
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=4 inventory=cross_region_replication.yaml e2e
```
In a cross-region replication scenario (like in the previous example) this module also supports
* [promoting the secondary instance](https://cloud.google.com/alloydb/docs/cross-region-replication/work-with-cross-region-replication#promote-secondary-cluster) to become a primary instance via the `var.cross_region_replication.promote_secondary` flag.
* aligning an existing cluster after switchover via the `var.cross_region_replication.switchover_mode` flag.
### Cross region replication with primary and secondary cluster read pool

network_config = {
psa_config = {
network = var.vpc.id
}
}
read_pool = {
"primary-read-pool" = {
node_count = 1
}
}
cross_region_replication = {
enabled = true
region = "europe-west12"
read_pool = {
"secondary-read-pool" = {
node_count = 1
}
}
}
deletion_protection = false
