  • google_compute_backend_services use nested blocks to define backends (instance groups heterogeneous controllers)
  • Use Terraform v0.12.x dynamic blocks so the apiserver backend service can refer to (up to zone-many) controller instance groups
  • Previously, with Terraform v0.11.x, the apiserver backend service had to list a fixed set of backends to span controller nodes across zones in multi-controller setups. 3 backends were used because each
    GCP region offered at least 3 zones. Single-controller clusters had the cosmetic ugliness of unused instance groups
  • Allow controllers to span more than 3 zones in a region, if the region offers more than 3 zones (e.g. us-central1)

* Intended as part of #504 improvement
* Single controller clusters only require one controller
instance group (previously created zone-many)
* Multi-controller clusters must "wrap" controllers over
zonal heterogeneous instance groups. For example, 5
controllers over 3 zones (no change)
