Creates a bootable VM image resource for Google Compute Engine from an existing tarball. For more information see the official documentation and API.

Example Usage

resource "google_compute_image" "bootable-image" {
  name       = "my-custom-image"
  raw_disk {
    source = "https://storage.googleapis.com/my-bucket/my-disk-image-tarball.tar.gz"
  }
}

resource "google_compute_instance" "vm" {
  name         = "vm-from-custom-image"
  machine_type = "n1-standard-1"
  zone         = "us-east1-c"

  disk {
    image = "${google_compute_image.bootable-image.self_link}"
  }

  network_interface {
	network = "default"
  }
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported: (Note that one of either source_disk or raw_disk is required)

  • name - (Required) A unique name for the resource, required by GCE. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

  • source_disk - The URL of a disk that will be used as the source of the image. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

  • raw_disk - The raw disk that will be used as the source of the image. Changing this forces a new resource to be created. Structure is documented below.

  • create_timeout - Configurable timeout in minutes for creating images. Default is 4 minutes. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

The raw_disk block supports:

  • source - (Required) The full Google Cloud Storage URL where the disk image is stored.

  • sha1 - (Optional) SHA1 checksum of the source tarball that will be used to verify the source before creating the image.

  • container_type - (Optional) The format used to encode and transmit the block device. TAR is the only supported type and is the default.


  • project - (Optional) The project in which the resource belongs. If it is not provided, the provider project is used.

  • description - (Optional) The description of the image to be created

  • family - (Optional) The name of the image family to which this image belongs.

Attributes Reference

In addition to the arguments listed above, the following computed attributes are exported:

  • self_link - The URI of the created resource.
