I created a resource that produces a list of VM's using for_each argument. I'm having trouble trying to reference this resource to my web_private_group.
resource "google_compute_instance_group" "web_private_group" {
name = "${format("%s","${var.gcp_resource_name}-${var.gcp_env}-vm-group")}"
description = "Web servers instance group"
zone = var.gcp_zone_1
network = google_compute_network.vpc.self_link
# I've added some attempts I've tried that do not work...
instances = [
//google_compute_instance.compute_engines.self_link
//[for o in google_compute_instance.compute_engines : o.self_link]
{for k, o in google_compute_instance.compute_engines : k => o.self_link}
//google_compute_instance.web_private_2.self_link
]
named_port {
name = "http"
port = "80"
}
named_port {
name = "https"
port = "443"
}
}
# Create Google Cloud VMs
resource "google_compute_instance" "compute_engines" {
for_each = var.vm_instances
name = "${format("%s","${var.gcp_resource_name}-${var.gcp_env}-each.value")}"
machine_type = "e2-micro"
zone = var.gcp_zone_1
tags = ["ssh","http"]
boot_disk {
initialize_params {
image = "debian-10"
}
}
}
variable "vm_instances" {
description = "list of VM's"
type = set(string)
default = ["vm1", "vm2", "vm3"]
}
How can I properly link my compute_engines to my web_private_group resource within the instances= [] block?
Edit: To further clarify, how can I state the fact that there are multiple instances within my compute_engines resource?
