Pipeline: Correct one Compute engine instance exceeding max age

Correct one compute instance exceeding max age

Overview

Compute instances can be quite costly to retain, it is also likely that after a certain point in time they're no longer required and should be cleaned up to prevent further costs.

This pipeline allows you to specify a single compute instance and then either send a notification or attempt to perform a predefined corrective action.

Whilst it is possible to utilise this pipeline standalone, it is usually called from the correct_compute_instances_exceeding_max_age pipeline.

Run the pipeline

To run this pipeline from your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run gcp_thrifty.pipeline.correct_one_compute_instance_exceeding_max_age \
  --arg 'conn=<connection.gcp>' \
  --arg 'title=<string>' \
  --arg 'instance_name=<string>' \
  --arg 'zone=<string>' \
  --arg 'project=<string>'

Use this pipeline

To call this pipeline from your pipeline, use a step:

step "pipeline" "step_name" {
  pipeline = gcp_thrifty.pipeline.correct_one_compute_instance_exceeding_max_age  
  args = {
    conn = <connection.gcp>
    title = <string>
    instance_name = <string>
    zone = <string>
    project = <string>
  }
}

Params

Name	Type	Required	Description	Default
conn	connection.gcp	Yes	Name of the GCP connection to be used for any authenticated actions.	-
title	string	Yes	Title of the resource, to be used as a display name.	-
instance_name	string	Yes	The name of the Compute engine instance.	-
zone	string	Yes	GCP Zone of the resource(s).	-
project	string	Yes	GCP Project ID of the resource(s).	-
notifier	notifier	Yes	The name of the notifier to use for sending notification messages.	`notifier.default`
notification_level	string `info`, `verbose`, `error`	Yes	The verbosity level of notification messages to send.	`info`
approvers	list(notifier)	Yes	List of notifiers to be used for obtaining action/approval decisions.	`notifier.default`
default_action	string `notify`, `skip`, `stop_instance`, `terminate_instance`	Yes	The default action to use for the detected item, used if no input is provided.	`notify`
enabled_actions	list(string) `skip`, `stop_instance`, `terminate_instance`	Yes	The list of enabled actions to provide to approvers for selection.	`[ "skip", "stop_instance", "terminate_instance" ]`
