This module provides a way to get the shortnames for a given GCP region.

terraform-google-utils

This module provides a way to get the shortnames for a given GCP region. For example, "us-central1" becomes "usc1". This module also always outputs a map for every region, which allows you to do multiple at once.

This module does not communicate with GCP in any way.

Usage

Basic usage of this module is as follows:

module "utils" {
  source  = "terraform-google-modules/utils/google"
  version = "~> 0.1"
  region  = "us-central1"
}

locals {
  "us-central1" = module.utils.region_short_name
  "asia-east1"  = module.utils.region_short_name_map["asia-east1"]
}

The above results in locals with computed values of:

locals {
  "us-central1" = "usc1"
  "asia-east1"  = "aze1"
}

Functional examples are included in the examples directory.
