blog-infra

Infra scripts for the blog.

Initial files for the project_creation are from here. I modified them into a template so that some of the parameters can be passed in. My main goal was to automate the creation of projects as far as possible and learn to use Deployment Manager in general. I also wanted everything to be executed from Cloud Build and this required some additional IAM permissions described in the updated README.

CLI calls used

Initial provisioning for the GCP projects to host the blog:

gcloud config set project dm-creation-project-xxxxxx
# Test environment
gcloud builds submit --config ./project_creation/cloudbuild.test.yaml ./project_creation
# Production environment
gcloud builds submit --config ./project_creation/cloudbuild.yaml ./project_creation

Creating managed zone to the newly created project (only prod):

gcloud builds submit --config ./dns/cloudbuild.yaml ./dns --project=ms-devops-dude

Initialize App Engine to the newly created projects:

#gcloud builds submit --config ./appengine/cloudbuild.yaml ./appengine --project=ms-devops-dude
# Currently fails with: "ERROR: (gcloud.app.create) PERMISSION_DENIED: The caller does not have permission"
# UPDATE: Only Project Owner can create App Engine project
# See documentation: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/console/#create
gcloud app create --region=europe-west3 --project=ms-devops-dude-test
gcloud app create --region=europe-west3 --project=ms-devops-dude

Custom build step for running Hexo commands:

# Test environment
gcloud builds submit --config=./hexo-build-step/cloudbuild.yaml ./hexo-build-step/ --project=ms-devops-dude-test
# Production environment
gcloud builds submit --config=./hexo-build-step/cloudbuild.yaml ./hexo-build-step/ --project=ms-devops-dude
