+description: |-
+  Creates a static global IP address resource for a Google Compute Engine project.
+---
+
+# google\_compute\_global\_address
+
+Creates a static IP address resource global to a Google Compute Engine project. For more information see
+[the official documentation](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances-and-network) and
+[API](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/latest/globalAddresses).
+
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```
+resource "google_compute_global_address" "default" {
+	name = "test-address"
+}
+```
+
+## 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.
+
+## Attributes Reference
+
+The following attributes are exported:
+
+* `name` - The name of the resource.
+* `address` - The IP address that was allocated.
+* `self_link` - The URI of the created resource.
