Adding the cloud DNS API library and related methods 
we setup DNS when a VM is created and tear it down when a VM is deleted
the DNS zone should exist already and is referenced by a provider setting
the dns zone is also set in order to use it for vm_ready? instead of the global
domain
instances have a label that identifies which project they belong to, so
it can be used for FW rules

vmpooler-provider-gce

This is a provider for 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.

Examples of deploying VMPooler with extra providers can be found in the 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

DNS

DNS is integrated via Google's CloudDNS service. To enable a CloudDNS zone name must be provided in the config (see the example yaml file dns_zone_resource_name)

An A record is then created in that zone upon instance creation with the VM's internal IP, and deleted when the instance is destroyed.

Labels

This provider adds labels to all resources that are managed

resource labels note
instance vm=$vm_name, pool=$pool_name for example vm=foo-bar, 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, pool=$pool_name for example snapshot_name=snap1, vm=foo-bar, pool=pool1

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.

Pre-requisite

  • A service account needs to be created and a private json key generated (see usage section)
  • The service account needs given permissions to the project (broad permissions would be compute v1 admin and dns admin). A yaml file is provided that lists the least-privilege permissions needed
  • if using DNS, a DNS zone needs to be created
