Global HTTP Load Balancer Terraform Module

Modular Global HTTP Load Balancer for GCE using forwarding rules.

If you would like to allow for backend groups to be managed outside Terraform, such as via GKE services, see the dynamic backends submodule.
If you would like to use load balancing with serverless backends (Cloud Run, Cloud Functions or App Engine), see the serverless_negs submodule and cloudrun example.

Load Balancer Types

TCP load balancer
HTTP/S load balancer
Internal load balancer

Compatibility

This module is meant for use with Terraform 0.13+ and tested using Terraform 1.0+. If you find incompatibilities using Terraform >=0.13, please open an issue. If you haven't upgraded and need a Terraform 0.12.x-compatible version of this module, the last released version intended for Terraform 0.12.x is v4.5.0.
