Global HTTP Load Balancer Terraform Module

Modular Global HTTP Load Balancer for GCE using forwarding rules.

This submodule allows for configuring dynamic backend outside Terraform. As such, any changes to the backends.groups variable after creation will be ignored.

Load Balancer Types

Compatibility

This module is meant for use with Terraform 1.3+ and tested using Terraform 1.3. If you find incompatibilities using Terraform >=1.3, please open an issue. If you haven't upgraded and need a Terraform 0.12.x-compatible version of this module, the last released version intended for Terraform 0.12.x is v4.5.0.

Version

Current version is 9.0. Upgrade guides:
