Pipeline: Correct one Compute engine instance large

Correct one Compute instance if large

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. Large compute instances are unusual, expensive and should be reviewed.

This pipeline allows you to specify a single large 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_large pipeline.

Run the pipeline

To run this pipeline from your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run gcp_thrifty.pipeline.correct_one_compute_instance_large \
  --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_large  
  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" ]`
