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.
- TCP load balancer
- HTTP/S load balancer
- Internal load balancer
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.
Current version is 9.0. Upgrade guides:
