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

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.
