Compatibility

This module requires terraform version >=1.3.1.

Features

VPC Network

A VPC network will be created in the requested regions. Private Google Access will be enabled, so you can connect to Google Services without public IPs. Private services access is also configured allowing you to run services like Cloud SQL with private IPs. It's also possible to configure Cloud NAT and Serverless VPC Access per region.

For more details please check docs/DEFAULT-VPC.md, especially if you plan to extend it by adding custom subnetworks or similar. Also all used IP address ranges are documented there.

IAM

This module acts "mostly" authoritative on IAM roles. It aims to configure all IAM and Service Account related resources in a central place for easy review and adjustments. All active roles are fetched initially and compared with the roles given via roles input. If a role shouldn't be set the module will create an empty resource for this role, means terraform will remove it. This will result in a module deletion on the next terraform run.

All roles listed for service agents (like for example roles/dataproc.serviceAgent) are ignored, so if a service gets enabled the default permissions granted automatically by Google Cloud Platform to the related service accounts will stay in place. This excludes are configured in data.tf - look for a local variable called role_excludes

Usage

module "projectcfg" {
  source      = "metro-digital/cf-projectcfg/google"
  project_id  = "metro-cf-example-ex1-e8v"

  roles = {
    "roles/bigquery.admin" = [
      "group:customer.project-role@cloudfoundation.metro.digital",
      "user:some.user@metro.digital",
      "serviceAccount:exmple-sa@example-prj..iam.gserviceaccount.com"
    ],
    "roles/cloudsql.admin" = [
      "group:customer.project-role@cloudfoundation.metro.digital",
    ]
  }
}

Please also take a deeper look into the FAQ - there are additional examples available. Examples how to use Workload Identity Federation with GitHub and similar things are explained giving simple examples.

Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Default	Required
project_id	GCP project ID	string	n/a	yes
roles	IAM roles and their members. If you create a service account in this project via the service_accounts input, we recommend to use the project_roles attribute of the respective service account to grant it permissions on the project's IAM policy. This allows you to better re-use your code in staged environments. Example: roles = { "roles/bigquery.admin" = [ "group:customer.project-role@cloudfoundation.metro.digital", "user:some.user@metro.digital", ], "roles/cloudsql.admin" = [ "group:customer.project-role@cloudfoundation.metro.digital", ] }	map(list(string))	n/a	yes
custom_roles	Create custom roles and define who gains that role on project level Example: custom_roles = { "appengine.applicationsCreator" = { title = "AppEngine Creator", description = "Custom role to grant permissions for creating App Engine applications.", permissions = [ "appengine.applications.create", ] members = [ "group:customer.project-role@cloudfoundation.metro.digital", ] } }	map(object({ title = string description = string permissions = list(string) members = list(string) }))	{}	no
deprivilege_compute_engine_sa	By default the compute engine service account (project-number-compute@developer.gserviceaccount.com) is assigned roles/editor If you want to deprivilege the account set this to true, and grant needed permissions via roles variable. Otherwise the module will grant roles/editor to the service account.	bool	false	no
enabled_services	List of GCP enabled services / APIs to enable. Dependencies will be enabled automatically. Remark: Google sometimes changes (mostly adding) dependencies and will activate those automatically for your project. Therefore being authoritative on services usually causes a lot of trouble. The module doesn't provide any option to be authoritative for this reason. By default we are partly authoritative. This can can be controlled by the enabled_services_disable_on_destroy flag. Example: enabled_services = [ "bigquery.googleapis.com", "compute.googleapis.com", "cloudscheduler.googleapis.com", "iap.googleapis.com" ]	list(string)	[]	no
enabled_services_disable_on_destroy	If true, try to disable a service given via enabled_services after its removal from from the list. Defaults to true. May be useful in the event that a project is long-lived but the infrastructure running in that project changes frequently. Can result in failing terraform runs if the removed service is a dependency for any other active service.	bool	true	no
essential_contacts	Essential contacts receive configurable notifications from Google Cloud Platform based on selected categories. language: The preferred language for notifications, as an ISO 639-1 language code. See documentation for a list of supported languages. categories: The categories of notifications that the contact will receive communications for. See documentation for a list of supported categories. Remark: The module will enable the essential contacts API automatically once one contact is configured. You still need to grant the role roles/essentialcontacts.admin to the principle that is executing the terraform code (most likely your service account used in your pipeline) if you plan to use github_action_repositories. Example: essential_contacts = { "some-group-mailing-list@metro.digital" = { language = "en" categories = ["ALL"] } "some-other-group-list@metro.digital" = { language = "en" categories = [ "SUSPENSION", "TECHNICAL" ] } }	map(object({ language = string categories = list(string) }))	{}	no
non_authoritative_roles	List of roles (regex) to exclude from authoritative project IAM handling. Roles listed here can have bindings outside of this module. Example: non_authoritative_roles = [ "roles/container.hostServiceAgentUser" ]	list(string)	[]	no
service_accounts	Service accounts to create for this project. display_name: Human-readable name shown in Google Cloud Console description (optional): Human-readable description shown in Google Cloud Console iam (optional): IAM permissions assigned to this Service Account as a resource. This defines which principal can do something on this Service Account. An example: If you grant roles/iam.serviceAccountKeyAdmin to a group here, this group will be able to maintain Service Account keys for this specific SA. If you want to allow this SA to use BigQuery, you need to use the project-wide roles input or, even better, use the project_roles attribute to do so. project_roles (optional): IAM permissions assigned to this Service Account on project level. This parameter is merged with whatever is provided as the project's IAM policy via the roles input. iam_non_authoritative_roles (optional): Any role given in this list will be added to the authoritative policy with its current value as defined in the Google Cloud Platform. Example use case: Composer 2 adds values to roles/iam.workloadIdentityUser binding when an environment is created or updated. Thus, you might want to automatically import those permissions. runtime_service_accounts (optional): You can list Kubernetes Service Accounts within Cloud Native Runtime clusters here. For details on the format, see the example below. A Workload Identity Pool and a Workload Identity Provider needed for Workload Identity Federation will be created automatically. Each service account given gains permissions to authenticate as this service account using Workload Identity Federation. This allows workloads running in Cloud Native Runtime clusters to use this service account without the need for service account keys. A detailed example can be found within the FAQ. github_action_repositories (optional): You can list GitHub repositories (format: user/repo) here. A Workload Identity Pool and a Workload Identity Provider needed for Workload Identity Federation will be created automatically. Each repository given gains permissions to authenticate as this service account using Workload Identity Federation. This allows any GitHub Action pipeline to use this service account without the need for service account keys. An example can be found within the FAQ. For more details, see the documentation for Google's GitHub action for authentication: google-github-actions/auth. Remark: If you configure github_action_repositories, the module binds a member for each repository to the role roles/iam.workloadIdentityUser inside the service account's IAM policy. This is done regardless of whether or not you list this role in the iam_non_authoritative_roles key. The same happens if you use runtime_service_accounts. A member per runtime service account is added to the service account's IAM policy. Remark: You need to grant the role roles/iam.workloadIdentityPoolAdmin to the principal that is executing the terraform code (most likely a service account used in a pipeline) if you plan to use github_action_repositories or runtime_service_accounts. Example: service_accounts = { runtime-sa = { display_name = "My Runtime Workload" description = "Workload running in Cloud Native Runtime Cluster" # Grant this service account to execute BigQuery jobs # access to certain datasets is configured in dataset IAM policy project_roles = [ "roles/bigquery.jobUser" ] runtime_service_accounts = [ # You can specify multiple of the following objects if needed { cluster_id = "mycluster-id-1" namespace = "some-namespace" service_account = "some-service-account-name" } ] } deployments = { display_name = "Deployments" description = "Service Account to deploy application" # Grant this service account Cloud Run Admin on project level project_roles = [ "roles/run.admin" ] # Allow specific group to create keys for this Service Account only iam = { "roles/iam.serviceAccountKeyAdmin" = [ "group:customer.project-role@cloudfoundation.metro.digital", ] } # This service account will be used by GitHub Action deployments in the given repository github_action_repositories = [ "my-user-or-organisation/my-great-repo" ] } bq-reader = { display_name = "BigQuery Reader" description = "Service Account for BigQuery Reader for App XYZ" iam = {} # No special Service Account resource IAM permissions } composer = { display_name = "Composer" description = "Service Account to run Composer 2" iam = {} # No special Service Account resource IAM permissions iam_non_authoritative_roles = [ # maintained by Composer service automatically - imports any existing value "roles/iam.workloadIdentityUser" ] } } }	map(object({ display_name = string description = optional(string) iam = map(list(string)) project_roles = optional(list(string)) iam_non_authoritative_roles = optional(list(string)) github_action_repositories = optional(list(string)) runtime_service_accounts = optional(list(object({ cluster_id = string namespace = string service_account = string }))) }))	{}	no
skip_default_vpc_creation	When set to true the module will not create the default VPC or any related resource like NAT Gateway or serverless VPC access configuration.	bool	false	no
vpc_regions	Enabled regions and configuration Example: vpc_regions = { europe-west1 = { # Create a subnetwork in europe-west1 vpcaccess = true # Enable serverless VPC access for this region nat = 2 # Create a Cloud NAT with 2 (static) external IP addresses (IPv4) in this region nat_min_ports_per_vm = 64 # Minimum number of ports allocated to a VM from the NAT defined above (Note: this option is optional, but must be defined for all the regions if it is set for at least one) gke_secondary_ranges = true # Create secondary IP ranges used by GKE with VPC-native clusters (gke-services & gke-pods) proxy_only = true # Create an additional "proxy-only" network in this region used by L7 load balancers }, europe-west4 = { # Create a subnetwork in europe-west4 vpcaccess = false # Disable serverless VPC access for this region nat = 0 # No Cloud NAT for this region nat_min_ports_per_vm = 0 # Since the nat_min_ports_per_vm was set for the region above, its definition is required here. gke_secondary_ranges = false # Since the gke_secondary_ranges was set for the region above, its definition is required here. proxy_only = false # Since the proxy_only was set for the region above, its definition is required here. }, } By default the module will create a subnetwork in europe-west1 but do not launch any additional features like NAT or VPC access. Secondary ranges for GKE are disabled, too.	map(object({ vpcaccess = bool nat = number nat_min_ports_per_vm = optional(number) gke_secondary_ranges = optional(bool) proxy_only = optional(bool) }))	{ "europe-west1": { "nat": 0, "vpcaccess": false } }	no
workload_identity_pool_attribute_mapping	Maps attributes from authentication credentials issued by an external identity provider to Google Cloud attributes Note Teams must be cautious before modifying the attribute mapping as it may cause undesired permission issues. See documentation Example: { "google.subject" = "assertion.sub" "attribute.actor" = "assertion.actor" "attribute.aud" = "assertion.aud" "attribute.repository" = "assertion.repository" "attribute.repository_owner" = "assertion.repository_owner" }	map(any)	{ "attribute.repository": "assertion.repository", "google.subject": "assertion.sub" }	no
