# google\_compute\_instance
Manages a VM instance resource within GCE.
## Example Usage
```
resource "google_compute_instance" "default" {
name = "test"
machine_type = "n1-standard-1"
zone = "us-central1-a"
tags = ["foo", "bar"]
disk {
image = "debian-7-wheezy-v20140814"
}
network {
source = "default"
}
metadata {
foo = "bar"
}
}
```
## Argument Reference
The following arguments are supported:
* `name` - (Required) A unique name for the resource, required by GCE.
Changing this forces a new resource to be created.
* `description` - (Optional) A brief description of this resource.
* `machine_type` - (Required) The machine type to create.
* `zone` - (Required) The zone that the machine should be created in.
* `disk` - (Required) Disks to attach to the instance. This can be specified
multiple times for multiple disks. Structure is documented below.
* `can_ip_forward` - (Optional) Whether to allow sending and receiving of
packets with non-matching source or destination IPs.
This defaults to false.
