## Google Cloud Platform Managed Instance Groups Target
The GCP MIG target plugin allows for the scaling of the Nomad cluster clients
via manipulating [Google Cloud Platform Managed Instance Groups][gcp_migs]. The
plugin supports both regional and zonal groups.
### Agent Configuration Options
The plugin uses the official Google Cloud Golang SDK. This means it supports the
common ways of [providing credentials to Google Cloud][gcp_credentials]. It is
recommended, if possible to use the [Vault GCP Secrets engine][vault_gcp_backend]
for supplying access credentials to the plugin. Credentials should be injected
into the configuration via a template rather than as environment variables. This
ensures the credentials are passed only to the plugin, rather than being available
for all plugins and the agent process.
```hcl
target "gcp-mig" {
driver = "gcp-mig"
config = {
credentials = "local/creds.json"
}
}
```
- `credentials` `(string: "")` - This is specified as the path to a Google Cloud
credentials file, typically for a service account.
When using a Nomad cluster with ACLs enabled, the plugin will require an ACL token
which provides the following permissions:
```hcl
node {
policy = "write"
}
```
### Policy Configuration Options
```hcl
check "hashistack-allocated-cpu" {
...
target "gcp-mig" {
project = "hashistack-demo"
region = "us-west1"
mig_name = "nomad-client-hashistack"
node_class = "hashistack"
node_drain_deadline = "5m"
node_purge = "true"
}
...
```
- `project` `(string: <required>)` - The [Google Cloud Platform project ID][gcp_projects]
within which the managed instance group is running.
- `region` `(string: "")` - The GCP region where the Managed Instance Group resides.
Providing this parameter indicates the MIG is regional. Conflicts with `zone`.
- `zone` `(string: "")` - The GCP zone where the Managed Instance Group resides.
Providing this parameter indicates the MIG is zonal. Conflicts with `region`.
- `mig_name` `(string: <required>)` - The name of the GCP Managed Instance Group
to interact with when performing scaling actions.
- `node_class` `(string: <required>)` - The Nomad [client node class][nomad_node_class]
identifier used to group nodes into a pool of resource.
- `node_drain_deadline` `(duration: "15m")` The Nomad [drain deadline][nomad_node_drain_deadline]
to use when performing node draining actions.
- `node_purge` `(bool: "false")` A boolean flag to determine whether Nomad clients should
be [purged][nomad_node_purge] when performing scale in actions.
