Global HTTP Load Balancer Terraform Module

Modular Global HTTP Load Balancer for GCE using forwarding rules.

  • If you would like to allow for backend groups to be managed outside Terraform, such as via GKE services, see the dynamic backends submodule.
  • If you would like to use load balancing with serverless backends (Cloud Run, Cloud Functions or App Engine), see the serverless_negs submodule and cloudrun example.

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:

        sample_rate = 1.0
      }

      groups = [
        {
          # Each node pool instance group should be added to the backend.
          group                        = var.backend
