This repo is part of a multi-part guide that shows how to configure and deploy the example.com reference architecture described in Google Cloud security foundations guide. The following table lists the parts of the guide.
0-bootstrap | Bootstraps a Google Cloud organization, creating all the required resources and permissions to start using the Cloud Foundation Toolkit (CFT). This step also configures a CI/CD Pipeline for foundations code in subsequent stages. |
1-org | Sets up top level shared folders, networking projects, and organization-level logging, and sets baseline security settings through organizational policy. |
2-environments | Sets up development, nonproduction, and production environments within the Google Cloud organization that you've created. |
3-networks-dual-svpc | Sets up base and restricted shared VPCs with default DNS, NAT (optional), Private Service networking, VPC service controls, on-premises Dedicated Interconnect, and baseline firewall rules for each environment. It also sets up the global DNS hub. |
3-networks-hub-and-spoke | Sets up base and restricted shared VPCs with all the default configuration found on step 3-networks-dual-svpc, but here the architecture will be based on the Hub and Spoke network model. It also sets up the global DNS hub |
4-projects (this file) | Sets up a folder structure, projects, and application infrastructure pipeline for applications, which are connected as service projects to the shared VPC created in the previous stage. |
5-app-infra | Deploy a simple Compute Engine instance in one of the business unit projects using the infra pipeline set up in 4-projects. |
For an overview of the architecture and the parts, see the terraform-example-foundation README.
The purpose of this step is to set up the folder structure, projects, and infrastructure pipelines for applications that are connected as service projects to the shared VPC created in the previous stage.
For each business unit, a shared infra-pipeline
project is created along with Cloud Build triggers, CSRs for application infrastructure code and Google Cloud Storage buckets for state storage.
This step follows the same conventions as the Foundation pipeline deployed in 0-bootstrap.
A custom workspace (bu1-example-app
) is created by this pipeline and necessary roles are granted to the Terraform Service Account of this workspace by enabling variable sa_roles
as shown in this example.
This pipeline is utilized to deploy resources in projects across development/nonproduction/production in step 5-app-infra. Other Workspaces can also be created to isolate deployments if needed.

For the manual step described in this document, you need to use the same Terraform version used on the build pipeline. Otherwise, you might experience Terraform state snapshot lock errors.
Note: As mentioned in 0-bootstrap README note 2 at the end of Cloud Build deploy section, make sure that you have requested at least 50 additional projects for the projects step service account, otherwise you may face a project quota exceeded error message during the following steps and you will need to apply the fix from this entry of the Troubleshooting guide in order to continue.
Please refer to troubleshooting if you run into issues during this step.
Note: If you are using MacOS, replace cp -RT
with cp -R
in the relevant
commands. The -T
flag is needed for Linux, but causes problems for MacOS.

Clone the
gcp-projects
repo based on the Terraform output from the0-bootstrap
step. Clone the repo at the same level of theterraform-example-foundation
folder, the following instructions assume this layout. Runterraform output cloudbuild_project_id
in the0-bootstrap
folder to get the Cloud Build Project ID.export CLOUD_BUILD_PROJECT_ID=$(terraform -chdir="terraform-example-foundation/0-bootstrap/" output -raw cloudbuild_project_id) echo ${CLOUD_BUILD_PROJECT_ID} gcloud source repos clone gcp-projects --project=${CLOUD_BUILD_PROJECT_ID}
-
Change to the freshly cloned repo, change to the non-main branch and copy contents of foundation to new repo.
cd gcp-projects git checkout -b plan cp -RT ../terraform-example-foundation/4-projects/ . cp ../terraform-example-foundation/build/cloudbuild-tf-* . cp ../terraform-example-foundation/build/tf-wrapper.sh . chmod 755 ./tf-wrapper.sh

Rename
auto.example.tfvars
files toauto.tfvars
.mv common.auto.example.tfvars common.auto.tfvars mv shared.auto.example.tfvars shared.auto.tfvars mv development.auto.example.tfvars development.auto.tfvars mv nonproduction.auto.example.tfvars nonproduction.auto.tfvars mv production.auto.example.tfvars production.auto.tfvars
-
See any of the envs folder README.md files for additional information on the values in the
common.auto.tfvars
,development.auto.tfvars
,nonproduction.auto.tfvars
, andproduction.auto.tfvars
files. -
See any of the shared folder README.md files for additional information on the values in the
shared.auto.tfvars
file. -
Use
terraform output
to get the backend bucket value from 0-bootstrap output.export remote_state_bucket=$(terraform -chdir="../terraform-example-foundation/0-bootstrap/" output -raw gcs_bucket_tfstate) echo "remote_state_bucket = ${remote_state_bucket}" sed -i'' -e "s/REMOTE_STATE_BUCKET/${remote_state_bucket}/" ./common.auto.tfvars
-
(Optional) If you want additional subfolders for separate business units or entities, make additional copies of the folder
business_unit_1
and modify any values that vary across business unit likebusiness_code
,business_unit
, orsubnet_ip_range
.
For example, to create a new business unit similar to business_unit_1, run the following:
#copy the business_unit_1 folder and it's contents to a new folder business_unit_2
cp -r business_unit_1 business_unit_2
# search all files under the folder `business_unit_2` and replace strings for business_unit_1 with strings for business_unit_2
grep -rl bu1 business_unit_2/ | xargs sed -i 's/bu1/bu2/g'
grep -rl business_unit_1 business_unit_2/ | xargs sed -i 's/business_unit_1/business_unit_2/g'
-
Commit changes.
git add . git commit -m 'Initialize projects repo'
-
You need to manually plan and apply only once the
business_unit_1/shared
andbusiness_unit_2/shared
environments sincedevelopment
,nonproduction
, andproduction
depend on them. -
To use the
validate
option of thetf-wrapper.sh
script, please follow the instructions to install the terraform-tools component. -
Use
terraform output
to get the Cloud Build project ID and the projects step Terraform Service Account from 0-bootstrap output. An environment variableGOOGLE_IMPERSONATE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
will be set using the Terraform Service Account to enable impersonation.export CLOUD_BUILD_PROJECT_ID=$(terraform -chdir="../terraform-example-foundation/0-bootstrap/" output -raw cloudbuild_project_id) echo ${CLOUD_BUILD_PROJECT_ID} export GOOGLE_IMPERSONATE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT=$(terraform -chdir="../terraform-example-foundation/0-bootstrap/" output -raw projects_step_terraform_service_account_email) echo ${GOOGLE_IMPERSONATE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT}

Push your plan branch to trigger a plan for all environments. Because the plan branch is not a named environment branch), pushing your plan branch triggers terraform plan but not terraform apply. Review the plan output in your Cloud Build project https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-build/builds;region=DEFAULT_REGION?project=YOUR_CLOUD_BUILD_PROJECT_ID
git push --set-upstream origin plan
-
Merge changes to production. Because this is a named environment branch, pushing to this branch triggers both terraform plan and terraform apply. Review the apply output in your Cloud Build project. https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-build/builds;region=DEFAULT_REGION?project=YOUR_CLOUD_BUILD_PROJECT_ID
git checkout -b production git push origin production
-
After production has been applied, apply development.
-

We will now deploy each of our environments(development/production/nonproduction) using the tf-wrapper.sh
script.
When using Cloud Build or Jenkins as your CI/CD tool each environment corresponds to a branch is the repository for 4-projects step and only the corresponding environment is applied. Environment shared must be applied first because development, nonproduction, and production depend on it.
