Description

We currently cannot enable internal IPv6 on existing networks using Terraform. Terraform forces replacement of the network, which then forces recreation of downstream resources. ForceNew is set on both fields enable_ula_internal_ipv6 and internal_ipv6_range.

  # module.vpc.module.vpc.google_compute_network.network must be replaced
-/+ resource "google_compute_network" "network" {
      ~ enable_ula_internal_ipv6                  = false -> true # forces replacement
      + gateway_ipv4                              = (known after apply)
      ~ id                                        = "projects/projectname/global/networks/ipv4v6-test" -> (known after apply)
      + internal_ipv6_range                       = "fd20:0:1234::/48" # forces replacement
        name                                      = "ipv4v6-test"
      ~ numeric_id                                = "12345678901234567890" -> (known after apply)
      ~ self_link                                 = "https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/projectname/global/networks/ipv4v6-test" -> (known after apply)
        # (6 unchanged attributes hidden)
    }

We are able to enable this feature through Console or gcloud without recreation, following this documentation.

• google_compute_network

Potential Terraform Configuration

We're using the network module, but that's not important.

module "vpc" {
    source  = "terraform-google-modules/network/google"
    version = "~> 9.0"

    project_id   = "projectname"
    network_name = "ipv4v6-test"
    routing_mode = "GLOBAL"
    enable_ipv6_ula = "true"
    internal_ipv6_range = "fd20:0:1234::/48"
    subnets = [
        # subnets here
    ]

    routes = [
        # routes here
    ]
}
