# vmpooler-provider-gce
This is a provider for [VMPooler](https://github.com/puppetlabs/vmpooler) allows using GCE to create instances, disks,
snapshots, or destroy instances for specific pools.
## Usage
Include this gem in the same Gemfile that you use to install VMPooler itself and then define one or more pools with the `provider` key set to `gce`. VMPooler will take care of the rest.
See what configuration is needed for this provider in the [example file](https://github.com/puppetlabs/vmpooler-provider-gce/blob/main/vmpooler.yaml.example).
Examples of deploying VMPooler with extra providers can be found in the [puppetlabs/vmpooler-deployment](https://github.com/puppetlabs/vmpooler-deployment) repository.
GCE authorization is handled via a service account (or personal account) private key (json format) and can be configured via
1. GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable eg GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/my/home/directory/my_account_key.json
### Labels
This provider adds labels to all resources that are managed
|resource|labels|note|
|---|---|---|
|instance|pool=$pool_name|for example pool=pool1|
|disk|vm=$vm_name, pool=$pool_name|for example vm=foo-bar and pool=pool1|
|snapshot|snapshot_name=$snapshot_name, vm=$vm_name| for example snapshot_name=snap1, vm=foo-bar|
Also see the usage of vmpooler's optional purge_unconfigured_resources, which is used to delete any resource found that
do not have the pool label, and can be configured to allow a specific list of unconfigured pool names.
