Terraform-provider-google: Support for gcp bucket transfers

[markfra]

Hi,

Currently it's not possible to create a bucket-transfer in combination terraform.
We would like to use transfers for various reasons, but mainly for automated backups.

Terraform Version

0.11.1

Affected Resource(s)

Please list the resources as a list, for example:

• resource_storage_bucket_transfer

Expected Behavior

We would like to define transfers as a resource, for example:

resource "google_storage_bucket_transfer" "transfer" {
  bucket = "your-bucket-name"
  jobspec = { spec }
}

Actual Behavior

[rosbo]

Hi @markfra,

Can you add a bit more details about your use case please? Which feature are you referring too? The resource you are listing above does not exist but you are talking about supporting import for it...

Thank you

[markfra]

Sorry for the confusion, i have updated the expected behaviour.

As of the use-case: within buckets we want to define transfer jobs (https://cloud.google.com/storage/transfer/reference/rest/) which is handled by the storage-transfer-api.

+1 for this feature. No so sure about the resource example in the OP, since a transfer consists of just one transfer job, not a list. But yes would love to be able to configure this via terraform.

[markfra]

@lloydcotten you are correct. Within GCP its 1 spec per job. so it should not be a list (updated the example).

i started the schema definition here. I would appreciate some feedback on the structure.

[rosbo]

General structure looks good to me. Only a few comments about naming and marking field as required vs optional. Thank you

[mrsimo]

Yes please! We'd like to use this too, if possible!

[Kiraco]

Any news if this will be implemented? :)

[larsha]

Same here, would be awesome to get this in so we can create scheduled transfers as we create new buckets 👍

[akramhussein]

I've created a PR #2181 that builds upon @ReneKroon's work with the amendments suggested by @rosbo.

*Updated

[rileykarson]

Support has been added by @akramhussein in https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/magic-modules/pull/1069 and this feature will be released in 2.0.0 🎉
