5-app-infra

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, organization-level logging, and baseline security settings through organizational policies.
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 Sets up a folder structure, projects, and an application infrastructure pipeline for applications, which are connected as service projects to the shared VPC created in the previous stage.
5-app-infra (this file) Deploy a simple [Compute Engine](https://cloud.google.com/compute/) 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 file.

Purpose

The purpose of this step is to deploy a simple Compute Engine instance in one of the business unit projects using the infra pipeline set up in 4-projects. The infra pipeline is created in step 4-projects within the shared env and has a Cloud Build pipeline configured to manage infrastructure within projects.

There is also a Source Repository configured with build triggers similar to the CI/CD Pipeline setup in 0-bootstrap. This Compute Engine instance is created using the base network from step 3-networks and is used to access private services.

Prerequisites

  1. 0-bootstrap executed successfully.
  2. 1-org executed successfully.
  3. 2-environments executed successfully.
  4. 3-networks executed successfully.
  5. 4-projects executed successfully.

Troubleshooting

Please refer to troubleshooting if you run into issues during this step.

Usage

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.

Deploying with Cloud Build

  1. Clone the gcp-policies repo based on the Terraform output from the 0-bootstrap step. Clone the repo at the same level of the terraform-example-foundation folder, the following instructions assume this layout. Run terraform output cloudbuild_project_id in the 0-bootstrap folder to get the Cloud Build Project ID.

    export INFRA_PIPELINE_PROJECT_ID=$(terraform -chdir="gcp-projects/business_unit_1/shared/" output -raw cloudbuild_project_id)
    echo ${INFRA_PIPELINE_PROJECT_ID}
    
    gcloud source repos clone gcp-policies gcp-policies-app-infra --project=${INFRA_PIPELINE_PROJECT_ID}

    Note: gcp-policies repo has the same name as the repo created in step 1-org. In order to prevent a collision, the previous command will clone this repo in the folder gcp-policies-app-infra.

  2. Navigate into the repo and copy contents of policy-library to new repo. All subsequent steps assume you are running them from the gcp-policies-app-infra directory. If you run them from another directory, adjust your copy paths accordingly.

    cd gcp-policies-app-infra
    git checkout -b main
    
    cp -RT ../terraform-example-foundation/policy-library/ .
  3. Commit changes and push your main branch to the new repo.

    git add .
    git commit -m 'Initialize policy library repo'
    
    git push --set-upstream origin main
  4. Navigate out of the repo.

    cd ..
  5. Clone the bu1-example-app repo.

    gcloud source repos clone bu1-example-app --project=${INFRA_PIPELINE_PROJECT_ID}
  6. Navigate into the repo, change to non-main branch and copy contents of foundation to new repo. All subsequent steps assume you are running them from the bu1-example-app directory. If you run them from another directory, adjust your copy paths accordingly.

    cd bu1-example-app
    git checkout -b plan
    
    cp -RT ../terraform-example-foundation/5-app-infra/ .
    cp ../terraform-example-foundation/build/cloudbuild-tf-* .
    cp ../terraform-example-foundation/build/tf-wrapper.sh .
    chmod 755 ./tf-wrapper.sh
  7. Rename common.auto.example.tfvars to common.auto.tfvars.

    mv common.auto.example.tfvars common.auto.tfvars
  8. Update the file with values from your environment and 0-bootstrap. See any of the business unit 1 envs folders README.md files for additional information on the values in the common.auto.tfvars file.

    export remote_state_bucket=$(terraform -chdir="../terraform-example-foundation/0-bootstrap/" output -raw projects_gcs_bucket_tfstate)
    echo "remote_state_bucket = ${remote_state_bucket}"
    sed -i'' -e "s/REMOTE_STATE_BUCKET/${remote_state_bucket}/" ./common.auto.tfvars
  9. Commit changes.

    git add .
    git commit -m 'Initialize bu1 example app repo'
  10. 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_INFRA_PIPELINE_PROJECT_ID

    git push --set-upstream origin plan
  11. Merge changes to development. 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_INFRA_PIPELINE_PROJECT_ID

    git checkout -b development
    git push origin development
  12. Merge changes to nonproduction. 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_INFRA_PIPELINE_PROJECT_ID

    git checkout -b nonproduction
    git push origin nonproduction
  13. Merge changes to production branch. 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_INFRA_PIPELINE_PROJECT_ID

    git checkout -b production
    git push origin production

Run Terraform locally

  1. The next instructions assume that you are at the same level of the terraform-example-foundation folder. Change into 5-app-infra folder, copy the Terraform wrapper script and ensure it can be executed.

    cd terraform-example-foundation/5-app-infra
    cp ../build/tf-wrapper.sh .
    chmod 755 ./tf-wrapper.sh
  2. Rename common.auto.example.tfvars files to common.auto.tfvars.

    mv common.auto.example.tfvars common.auto.tfvars
  3. Update common.auto.tfvars file with values from your environment.

  4. Use terraform output to get the project backend bucket value from 0-bootstrap.

    export remote_state_bucket=$(terraform -chdir="../0-bootstrap/" output -raw projects_gcs_bucket_tfstate)
    echo "remote_state_bucket = ${remote_state_bucket}"
    sed -i'' -e "s/REMOTE_STATE_BUCKET/${remote_state_bucket}/" ./common.auto.tfvars
  5. Provide the user that will be running ./tf-wrapper.sh the Service Account Token Creator role to the bu1 Terraform service account.

  6. Provide the user permissions to run the terraform locally with the serviceAccountTokenCreator permission.

    member="user:$(gcloud auth list --filter="status=ACTIVE" --format="value(account)")"
    echo ${member}
    
    project_id=$(terraform -chdir="../4-projects/business_unit_1/shared/" output -raw cloudbuild_project_id)
    echo ${project_id}
    
    terraform_sa=$(terraform -chdir="../4-projects/business_unit_1/shared/" output -json terraform_service_accounts | jq '."bu1-example-app"' --raw-output)
    echo ${terraform_sa}
    
    gcloud iam service-accounts add-iam-policy-binding ${terraform_sa} --project ${project_id} --member="${member}" --role="roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator"
  7. Update backend.tf with your bucket from the infra pipeline output.

    export backend_bucket=$(terraform -chdir="../4-projects/business_unit_1/shared/" output -json state_buckets | jq '."bu1-example-app"' --raw-output)
    echo "backend_bucket = ${backend_bucket}"
    
    for i in `find . -name 'backend.tf'`; do sed -i'' -e "s/UPDATE_APP_INFRA_BUCKET/${backend_bucket}/" $i; done

We will now deploy each of our environments (development/production/nonproduction) using this script. When using Cloud Build or Jenkins as your CI/CD tool, each environment corresponds to a branch in the repository for the 5-app-infra step. Only the corresponding environment is applied.

To use the validate option of the tf-wrapper.sh script, please follow the instructions to install the terraform-tools component.

  1. Use terraform output to get the Infra Pipeline Project ID from 4-projects output.

    export INFRA_PIPELINE_PROJECT_ID=$(terraform -chdir="../4-projects/business_unit_1/shared/" output -raw cloudbuild_project_id)
    echo ${INFRA_PIPELINE_PROJECT_ID}
    
    export GOOGLE_IMPERSONATE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT=$(terraform -chdir="../4-projects/business_unit_1/shared/" output -json terraform_service_accounts | jq '."bu1-example-app"' --raw-output)
    echo ${GOOGLE_IMPERSONATE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT}
  2. Run init and plan and review output for environment production.

    ./tf-wrapper.sh init production
    ./tf-wrapper.sh plan production
  3. Run validate and check for violations.

    ./tf-wrapper.sh validate production $(pwd)/../policy-library ${INFRA_PIPELINE_PROJECT_ID}
  4. Run apply production.

    ./tf-wrapper.sh apply production
  5. Run init and plan and review output for environment nonproduction.

    ./tf-wrapper.sh init nonproduction
    ./tf-wrapper.sh plan nonproduction
  6. Run validate and check for violations.

    ./tf-wrapper.sh validate nonproduction $(pwd)/../policy-library ${INFRA_PIPELINE_PROJECT_ID}
  7. Run apply nonproduction.

    ./tf-wrapper.sh apply nonproduction
  8. Run init and plan and review output for environment development.

    ./tf-wrapper.sh init development
    ./tf-wrapper.sh plan development
  9. Run validate and check for violations.

    ./tf-wrapper.sh validate development $(pwd)/../policy-library ${INFRA_PIPELINE_PROJECT_ID}
  10. Run apply development.

    ./tf-wrapper.sh apply development

If you received any errors or made any changes to the Terraform config or common.auto.tfvars you must re-run ./tf-wrapper.sh plan <env> before running ./tf-wrapper.sh apply <env>.

After executing this stage, unset the GOOGLE_IMPERSONATE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT environment variable.

unset GOOGLE_IMPERSONATE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
