Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
---|---|---|
automatic_restart boolean |
| Defines whether the instance should be automatically restarted when it is terminated by Compute Engine. |
can_ip_forward boolean |
| Set to yes to allow instance to send/receive non-matching src/dst packets. |
credentials_file - | path to the JSON file associated with the service account email | |
description - | description of instance template | |
disk_auto_delete boolean |
| Indicate that the boot disk should be deleted when the Node is deleted. |
disk_type - | Default: "pd-standard" | Specify a pd-standard disk or pd-ssd for an SSD disk. |
disks - | a list of persistent disks to attach to the instance; a string value gives the name of the disk; alternatively, a dictionary value can define 'name' and 'mode' ('READ_ONLY' or 'READ_WRITE'). The first entry will be the boot disk (which must be READ_WRITE). | |
disks_gce_struct - added in 2.4 | Support passing in the GCE-specific formatted formatted disks[] structure. Case sensitive. see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/latest/instanceTemplates#resource for detailed information | |
external_ip - | Default: "ephemeral" | The external IP address to use. If ephemeral , a new non-static address will be used. If None , then no external address will be used. To use an existing static IP address specify address name. |
image - | The image to use to create the instance. Cannot specify both both image and source. | |
image_family - | The image family to use to create the instance. If image has been used image_family is ignored. Cannot specify both image and source. | |
metadata - | a hash/dictionary of custom data for the instance; '{"key":"value", ...}' | |
name - | The name of the GCE instance template. | |
network - | Default: "default" | The network to associate with the instance. |
nic_gce_struct - | Support passing in the GCE-specific formatted networkInterfaces[] structure. | |
pem_file - | path to the pem file associated with the service account email This option is deprecated. Use 'credentials_file'. | |
preemptible boolean |
| Defines whether the instance is preemptible. |
project_id - | your GCE project ID | |
service_account_email - | service account email | |
service_account_permissions - |
| service account permissions (see https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/compute/instances/create, --scopes section for detailed information) |
size - | Default: "f1-micro" | The desired machine type for the instance template. |
source - | A source disk to attach to the instance. Cannot specify both image and source. | |
state - |
| The desired state for the instance template. |
subnetwork - | The Subnetwork resource name for this instance. | |
subnetwork_region - added in 2.4 | Region that subnetwork resides in. (Required for subnetwork to successfully complete) | |
tags - | a comma-separated list of tags to associate with the instance |
Notes
Note
- JSON credentials strongly preferred.
