Description
The googlecompute builder currently lacks a mechanism to configure the reservationAffinity property when creating a build instance. This property is part of the Google Compute Engine API's instance scheduling object and is required to consume a specific reservation.
Use Case(s)
We are building a custom GKE node image on an GPU machine. This machine type requires a reservation. In our organization, these expensive, shared resources are managed in a central project, and the reservation is shared with our developer project where the Packer build runs. We need Packer to be able to consume this specific, shared reservation.
Potential configuration
source "googlecompute" "example-build" {
project_id = "my-build-project"
# ... other settings ...
# New proposed block, mapping directly to the API object
reservation_affinity {
consume_reservation_type = "SPECIFIC_RESERVATION"
key = "compute.googleapis.com/reservation-name"
values = ["projects/shared-reservation-project/reservations/my-a3-reservation"]
}
}
