Compute Engine VM (Shielded, private)

A hardened Compute Engine VM on Debian 12 with Shielded VM (Secure Boot, vTPM, integrity monitoring), OS Login for IAM-managed SSH, no external IP by default, and deletion protection on.

This module was applied to a real Google Cloud account, verified, and destroyed on 2026-06-30 - not just terraform validated.

Check it yourself, no account needed:

curl -s https://www.iac-bazaar.com/api/artifacts/gcp-compute-instance/verification

The receipt names every check that ran, when it ran, and the SHA-256 of the archive it describes. Full detail: www.iac-bazaar.com/catalog/gcp-compute-instance

Usage

This module is licensed to run under Vizier. A module taken from the registry is a CHILD module, and Vizier sets vizier_run on the ROOT, so the value has to be handed down explicitly. Without it the plan stops with a licence error.

# Vizier writes this value into the root module.
variable "vizier_run" {
  type    = string
  default = ""
}

module "compute_instance" {
  source  = "registry.terraform.io/CyberCoreSystems/compute-instance/google"
  version = "~> 1.0"

  vizier_run = var.vizier_run

  # See variables.tf for the full input contract.
}

Why this module

Every module we publish goes through the same checks before release:

check	what it means
tofu validate + tflint	it parses and lints clean
checkov	scanned for insecure defaults
live test	really applied to a cloud account, outputs verified, then destroyed

That last row is the one most module catalogues skip. A module that has never been applied has never been proven.
