Description

when rebuilding a boot disk it does not attach. terraform will detach and destroy, then rebuild the boot disk, but will not re attach the new one.
there is not flag on the google_compute_attached_disk to attach as boot.

New or Affected Resource(s)

google_compute_attached_disk
or
google_compute_instance

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "google_compute_attached_disk" "boot_disks" {

device_name = boot_disk
disk = "projects/${var.project_id}/zones/${var.zone}/disks/disk_name"
instance = google_compute_instance.default.id
project = google_compute_instance.default.project
zone = google_compute_instance.default.zone
boot = true
}

There isn't a field like boot for the disk resource in the API. You can attach it from within the google_compute_instance resource.

You should also use google_compute_disk instead of google_compute_attached_disk because you cannot specify the image in the latter

resource "google_compute_disk" "boot_disk" {
  name  = "boot"
  type  = "pd-ssd"
  zone  = var.zone
  size  = 10
  image = "debian-cloud/debian-11"
}

resource "google_compute_instance" "test" {
  name         = "test"
  machine_type = "e2-micro"

  boot_disk {
    source = google_compute_disk.boot_disk.id
  }

  network_interface {
    network = "default"
  }
}
