Add 6 new base templates to the template builder, covering all major cloud providers and platforms: - **scratch**: Minimal starter template with only `coder_agent` and metadata - **aws-windows**: AWS EC2 Windows instances with PowerShell user_data - **azure-linux**: Azure VMs with cloud-init and managed disk persistence - **gcp-linux**: Google Compute Engine Linux instances with persistent disk - **gcp-windows**: Google Compute Engine Windows instances - **digitalocean-linux**: DigitalOcean Linux droplets with persistent volumes Each base includes `base.json`, `main.tf.tmpl`, `README.md` (with prerequisite markers), and any static files (cloud-init configs). Tests verify all 9 bases load, render without error, and produce valid single-agent declarations. `azure-windows` is deferred; it needs to be registered in the `examples` package first. Depends on #26633 > [!NOTE] > This PR was authored by Coder Agents on behalf of @jeremyruppel. --- NB: This is very much an agent-generated PR and draws completely from base templates that exist in `examples/templates/`. The base.json files are new, so review those, but don't spend any brain tokens on the correctness of the terraform and supporting files: any issues there are issues with the upstream example template

Prerequisites
Authentication
This template assumes that coderd is run in an environment that is authenticated
with Google Cloud. For example, run gcloud auth application-default login to
import credentials on the system and user running coderd. For other ways to
authenticate consult the Terraform
docs.
Coder requires a Google Cloud Service Account to provision workspaces. To create a service account:
-
Navigate to the CGP console, and select your Cloud project (if you have more than one project associated with your account)
-
Provide a service account name (this name is used to generate the service account ID)
-
Click Create and continue, and choose the following IAM roles to grant to the service account:
- Compute Admin
- Service Account User
Click Continue.
-
Click on the created key, and navigate to the Keys tab.
-
Click Add key > Create new key.
-
Generate a JSON private key, which will be what you provide to Coder during the setup process.
Architecture
This template provisions the following resources:
- GCP VM (ephemeral)
- GCP Disk (persistent, mounted to root)
Coder persists the root volume. The full filesystem is preserved when the workspace restarts. See this community example of an ephemeral AWS instance.
Note
This template is designed to be a starting point! Edit the Terraform to extend the template to support your use case.
