GCE Managed Instance Group module

This module allows creating a managed instance group supporting one or more application versions via instance templates. Optionally, a health check and an autoscaler can be created, and the managed instance group can be configured to be stateful.

This module can be coupled with the compute-vm module which can manage instance templates, and the net-lb-int module to assign the MIG to a backend wired to an Internal Load Balancer. The first use case is shown in the examples below.

Stateful disks can be created directly, as shown in the last example below.

Examples

Simple Example

This example shows how to manage a simple MIG that leverages the compute-vm module to manage the underlying instance template. The following sub-examples will only show how to enable specific features of this module, and won't replicate the combined setup.

module "cos-nginx" {
  source = "./fabric/modules/cloud-config-container/nginx"
}

module "nginx-template" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/compute-vm"
  project_id = var.project_id
  name       = "nginx-template"
  zone       = "${var.region}-b"
  tags       = ["http-server", "ssh"]
  network_interfaces = [{
    network    = var.vpc.self_link
    subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
    nat        = false
    addresses  = null
  }]
  boot_disk = {
    initialize_params = {
      image = "projects/cos-cloud/global/images/family/cos-stable"
    }
  }
  create_template = true
  metadata = {
    user-data = module.cos-nginx.cloud_config
  }
}

module "nginx-mig" {
  source            = "./fabric/modules/compute-mig"
  project_id        = var.project_id
  location          = "${var.region}-b"
  name              = "mig-test"
  target_size       = 2
  instance_template = module.nginx-template.template.self_link
}
# tftest modules=2 resources=2 inventory=simple.yaml e2e

Multiple Versions

If multiple versions are desired, use more compute-vm instances for the additional templates used in each version (not shown here), and reference them like this:

module "cos-nginx" {
  source = "./fabric/modules/cloud-config-container/nginx"
}

module "nginx-template" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/compute-vm"
  project_id = var.project_id
  name       = "nginx-template"
  zone       = "${var.region}-b"
  tags       = ["http-server", "ssh"]
  network_interfaces = [{
    network    = var.vpc.self_link
    subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
    nat        = false
    addresses  = null
  }]
  boot_disk = {
    initialize_params = {
      image = "projects/cos-cloud/global/images/family/cos-stable"
    }
  }
  create_template = true
  metadata = {
    user-data = module.cos-nginx.cloud_config
  }
}

module "nginx-mig" {
  source            = "./fabric/modules/compute-mig"
  project_id        = var.project_id
  location          = "${var.region}-b"
  name              = "mig-test"
  target_size       = 3
  instance_template = module.nginx-template.template.self_link
  versions = {
    canary = {
      instance_template = module.nginx-template.template.self_link
      target_size = {
        fixed = 1
      }
    }
  }
}
# tftest modules=2 resources=2 inventory=multiple.yaml e2e

Health Check and Autohealing Policies

Autohealing policies can use an externally defined health check, or have this module auto-create one:

module "cos-nginx" {
  source = "./fabric/modules/cloud-config-container/nginx"
}

module "nginx-template" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/compute-vm"
  project_id = var.project_id
  name       = "nginx-template"
  zone       = "${var.region}-b"
  tags       = ["http-server", "ssh"]
  network_interfaces = [{
    network    = var.vpc.self_link,
    subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link,
    nat        = false,
    addresses  = null
  }]
  boot_disk = {
    initialize_params = {
      image = "projects/cos-cloud/global/images/family/cos-stable"
    }
  }
  create_template = true
  metadata = {
    user-data = module.cos-nginx.cloud_config
  }
}

module "nginx-mig" {
  source            = "./fabric/modules/compute-mig"
  project_id        = var.project_id
  location          = "${var.region}-b"
  name              = "mig-test"
  target_size       = 3
  instance_template = module.nginx-template.template.self_link
  auto_healing_policies = {
    initial_delay_sec = 30
  }
  health_check_config = {
    enable_logging = true
    http = {
      port = 80
    }
  }
}
# tftest modules=2 resources=3 inventory=health-check.yaml e2e

Autoscaling

The module can create and manage an autoscaler associated with the MIG. When using autoscaling do not set the target_size variable or set it to null. Here we show a CPU utilization autoscaler, the other available modes are load balancing utilization and custom metric, like the underlying autoscaler resource.

module "cos-nginx" {
  source = "./fabric/modules/cloud-config-container/nginx"
}

module "nginx-template" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/compute-vm"
  project_id = var.project_id
  name       = "nginx-template"
  zone       = "${var.region}-b"
  tags       = ["http-server", "ssh"]
  network_interfaces = [{
    network    = var.vpc.self_link
    subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
    nat        = false
    addresses  = null
  }]
  boot_disk = {
    initialize_params = {
      image = "projects/cos-cloud/global/images/family/cos-stable"
    }
  }
  create_template = true
  metadata = {
    user-data = module.cos-nginx.cloud_config
  }
}

module "nginx-mig" {
  source            = "./fabric/modules/compute-mig"
  project_id        = var.project_id
  location          = "${var.region}-b"
  name              = "mig-test"
  target_size       = 3
  instance_template = module.nginx-template.template.self_link
  autoscaler_config = {
    max_replicas    = 3
    min_replicas    = 1
    cooldown_period = 30
    scaling_signals = {
      cpu_utilization = {
        target = 0.65
      }
    }
  }
}
# tftest modules=2 resources=3 inventory=autoscaling.yaml e2e

Update Policy

module "cos-nginx" {
  source = "./fabric/modules/cloud-config-container/nginx"
}

module "nginx-template" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/compute-vm"
  project_id = var.project_id
  name       = "nginx-template"
  zone       = "${var.region}-b"
  tags       = ["http-server", "ssh"]
  network_interfaces = [{
    network    = var.vpc.self_link
    subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
    nat        = false
    addresses  = null
  }]
  boot_disk = {
    initialize_params = {
      image = "projects/cos-cloud/global/images/family/cos-stable"
    }
  }
  create_template = true
  metadata = {
    user-data = module.cos-nginx.cloud_config
  }
}

module "nginx-mig" {
  source            = "./fabric/modules/compute-mig"
  project_id        = var.project_id
  location          = "${var.region}-b"
  name              = "mig-test"
  target_size       = 3
  instance_template = module.nginx-template.template.self_link
  update_policy = {
    minimal_action = "REPLACE"
    type           = "PROACTIVE"
    min_ready_sec  = 30
    max_surge = {
      fixed = 1
    }
  }
}

Stateful MIGs - MIG Config

Stateful MIGs have some limitations documented here. Enforcement of these requirements is the responsibility of users of this module.

You can configure a disk defined in the instance template to be stateful for all instances in the MIG by configuring in the MIG's stateful policy, using the stateful_disk_mig variable. Alternatively, you can also configure stateful persistent disks individually per instance of the MIG by setting the stateful_disk_instance variable. A discussion on these scenarios can be found in the docs.

An example using only the configuration at the MIG level can be seen below.

Note that when referencing the stateful disk, you use device_name and not disk_name. Specifying an existing disk in the template (and stateful config) only allows a single instance to be managed by the MIG, typically coupled with an autohealing policy (shown in the examples above).

module "cos-nginx" {
  source = "./fabric/modules/cloud-config-container/nginx"
}

module "nginx-template" {
  source        = "./fabric/modules/compute-vm"
  project_id    = var.project_id
  name          = "nginx-template"
  zone          = "${var.region}-b"
  tags          = ["http-server", "ssh"]
  instance_type = "e2-small"
  network_interfaces = [{
    network    = var.vpc.self_link
    subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
  }]
  boot_disk = {
    initialize_params = {
      image = "projects/cos-cloud/global/images/family/cos-stable"
    }
  }
  attached_disks = [{
    source_type = "attach"
    name        = "data-1"
    size        = 10
    source      = google_compute_disk.test-disk.name
  }]
  create_template = true
  metadata = {
    user-data = module.cos-nginx.cloud_config
  }
}

module "nginx-mig" {
  source            = "./fabric/modules/compute-mig"
  project_id        = var.project_id
  location          = "${var.region}-b"
  name              = "mig-test-2"
  target_size       = 1
  instance_template = module.nginx-template.template.self_link
  stateful_disks = {
    data-1 = false
  }
}
# tftest modules=2 resources=3 fixtures=fixtures/attached-disks.tf inventory=mig-config.yaml e2e

Stateful MIGs - Instance Config

Here is an example defining the stateful config at the instance level. As in the example above, specifying an existing disk in the template (and stateful config) only allows a single instance to be managed by the MIG, typically coupled with an autohealing policy (shown in the examples above).

module "cos-nginx" {
  source = "./fabric/modules/cloud-config-container/nginx"
}

module "nginx-template" {
  source        = "./fabric/modules/compute-vm"
  project_id    = var.project_id
  name          = "nginx-template"
  zone          = "${var.region}-b"
  tags          = ["http-server", "ssh"]
  instance_type = "e2-small"
  network_interfaces = [{
    network    = var.vpc.self_link
    subnetwork = var.subnet.self_link
  }]
  boot_disk = {
    initialize_params = {
      image = "projects/cos-cloud/global/images/family/cos-stable"
    }
  }
  attached_disks = [{
    source_type = "attach"
    name        = "data-1"
    size        = 10
    source      = google_compute_disk.test-disk.name
  }]
  create_template = true
  metadata = {
    user-data = module.cos-nginx.cloud_config
  }
}

module "nginx-mig" {
  source            = "./fabric/modules/compute-mig"
  project_id        = var.project_id
  location          = "${var.region}-b"
  name              = "mig-test"
  instance_template = module.nginx-template.template.self_link
  stateful_config = {
    instance-1 = {
      minimal_action                 = "NONE",
      most_disruptive_allowed_action = "REPLACE"
      preserved_state = {
        disks = {
          data-1 = {
            source = google_compute_disk.test-disk.id
          }
        }
        metadata = {
          foo = "bar"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
