What’s New in 7.0

Service Account Rename

This release includes a fix for the naming of the Service Account resource. For consistency and ease of use, serviceAccount has been renamed to serviceaccount. Node.js, Python, and .Net programs do not require any updates as the resource name has been aliased. However updates are required for Go, Java, and YAML to adjust the import paths and resource type.

- import "github.com/pulumi/pulumi-gcp/sdk/v6/go/gcp/serviceAccount"
+ import "github.com/pulumi/pulumi-gcp/sdk/v7/go/gcp/serviceaccount"

- import com.pulumi.gcp.serviceAccount.*;
+ import com.pulumi.gcp.serviceaccount.*;

- type: gcp:serviceAccount:Account
+ type: gcp:serviceaccount:Account

Labels Rework

Upstream changes for provider, resource, and data source labels are included in this release. Global Google Cloud Platform labels configured on the provider are supported through the new defaultLabels field. Default labels will be applied to all resources with a labels field. Resources that previously contained a single labels field will now contain three fields:

• The labels field is now non-authoritative and only manages the label keys defined in your configuration for the resource.
• The output-only pulumiLabels field merges the labels defined in the resource’s labels field and the global defaultLabels. If the same label key exists on both the resource level and provider level, the value on the resource will override the provider-level default.
• The output-only effectiveLabels will list all the labels present on the resource in GCP, including labels configured through Pulumi.

Due to the two new output fields, a resource that has a labels field may show a diff when upgrading from pulumi-gcp v6 to v7. This diff reflects adding the new resource Output fields and is safe to do.

You can find more information about this change in the upstream documentation.

Upgrading

Upgrading from the previous version of the Google Cloud provider is straightforward. Simply update the version in your dependency manifest file, install the new package based on your language and package manager, then run pulumi up to migrate your existing stack. For Go programs, you will need to update specific imports within your program as well. This information is also available in our migration guide in the Pulumi Registry.
