Feature Request: support regional google instance group managers

[hashibot]

This issue was originally opened by @mschroeder223 as hashicorp/terraform#8866. It was migrated here as part of the provider split. The original body of the issue is below.

---

The GCP docs and ui allow for the creation of regional (multi-zone) instance group managers.

After looking through the source I believe this actually tracks back to a limitation with the current google compute api library. In the current v1 only InstanceGroupManagersInsertCall exists, which in the beta v0.beta an additional set of calls for RegionInstanceGroupManagersInsertCall has been added.

InstanceGroupManagersInsertCall in v1 (stable)
https://code.googlesource.com/google-api-go-client/+/master/compute/v1/compute-gen.go#21873

RegionInstanceGroupManagersInsertCall in v0.beta
https://code.googlesource.com/google-api-go-client/+/master/compute/v0.beta/compute-gen.go#37848

Are there any current workarounds for this?

I believe @zachgersh was working on this. Zach, are you still working on this or should we fork your PR and continue that way?

Desperately need this to be supported by Terraform. Any chance it will make it into upcoming release?

@shankarkc it works from version 1.0.0 of google provider, see Features in this changelog

You provided Terraform version while providers are separated from main Terraform binary. What you should check is google provider version.

[rosbo]

@zbikmarc is correct. The feature was released on October 2nd 2017.

They looked latest. But when i use region = "${var.region} it throws error saying its not valid for google_compute_instance_group_manager I looked at terraform documentation It doesnt show this option either. can you pls clarify why its not available though i have 1.+ google provider as shown?

[rosbo]

Hi,

You need to use the google_compute_region_instance_group_manager resource.
