Description

Consider this annoyance:

resource "google_apigee_instance" "xxxx" {
  ...
  ip_range = "${data.google_compute_global_address.xxxxx.address}/${data.google_compute_global_address.xxxx.prefix_length}"
}

I'm not sure what you'd call the property, but this is weirdly inconsistent with other GCP resources that include the prefix in the address properties. Maybe a new property named ip_address?

New or Affected Resource(s)

• google_compute_global_address

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "google_apigee_instance" "xxxx" {
  ...
  ip_range = data.google_compute_global_address.xxxxx.ip_address
}
