# Internal Load Balancing in Google Cloud
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This provides a template for setting up internal load balancing in Google Cloud. It directly mirrors the tutorial in the [GCP Internal Load Balancing Documentation](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/internal/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To run the example, you'll need to [download your credentials from Google Cloud Console](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/google/#credentials). A suggested path for the downloaded file is `~/.gcloud/Terraform.json`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Optionally update `variables.tf` to specify a default value for the `project_name` variable, and check other variables.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After you run `terraform apply` on this configuration, it will
|
||
|
|
automatically output the internal IP address of the load balancer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since the load balancer is only reachable from within the network, ssh into the standalone instance using
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
gcloud compute ssh --zone us-central1-b standalone-instance-1
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using `curl` on the IP address given, the LB should respond with a simple header:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```html
|
||
|
|
<!doctype html><html><body><h1>ilb-instance-X</h1></body></html>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To run, configure your Google Cloud provider as described in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/google/index.html
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run with a command like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
terraform apply \
|
||
|
|
-var="region=us-central1" \
|
||
|
|
-var="region_zone=us-central1-b" \
|
||
|
|
-var="region_zone_2=us-central1-c" \
|
||
|
|
-var="project_name=my-project-id-123" \
|
||
|
|
-var="credentials_file_path=~/.gcloud/Terraform.json"
|
||
|
|
```
