Background
Regional Instance Template (later: RIT) is a new regional resource, implementing the functionality of Instance Templates existing before only in the global scope. More details can be found: go/rit-support-in-terraform.
There is already a handwritten global scope google_compute_instance_template Terraform resource and as we implement the new RIT resource, we want to give customers a smooth migration experience from GIT to RIT, the decision is to hand write RIT as GIT to keep the resource representation consistent. More info can be found: go/rit-resource-inconsistency
Changes include:
Add Region Instance Template resource, acceptance tests and document.
Modify existing google_compute_instance_from_template resource to consume RIT as source instance template.
If this PR is for Terraform, I acknowledge that I have:
make test
andmake lint
in the generated providers to ensure it passes unit and linter tests.Release Note Template for Downstream PRs (will be copied)
