This repo is part of a multi-part guide that shows how to configure and deploy the example.com reference architecture that is described in the 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 (this file) | 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 | 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 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 top-level shared folders, networking projects, organization-level logging, and baseline security settings through organizational policies.
- Run 0-bootstrap.
- To enable Security Command Center notifications, choose a Security Command Center tier and create and grant permissions for the Security Command Center service account as described in Setting up Security Command Center.
See troubleshooting if you run into issues during this step.
Consider the following:
-
This module creates a sink to export all logs to a Cloud Logging bucket. It also creates sinks to export a subset of security-related logs to Bigquery and Pub/Sub. This will result in additional charges for those copies of logs. For the log bucket destination, logs retained for the default retention period (30 days) don't incur a storage cost. You can change the filters and sinks by modifying the configuration in
envs/shared/log_sinks.tf
. -
This module implements but does not enable bucket policy retention for organization logs. If needed, enable a retention policy by configuring the
log_export_storage_retention_policy
variable. -
This module implements but does not enable object versioning for organization logs. If needed, enable object versioning by setting the
log_export_storage_versioning
variable to true. -
Bucket policy retention and object versioning are mutually exclusive.
-
To use the hub-and-spoke architecture described in the Networking section of the Google Cloud security foundations guide, set the
enable_hub_and_spoke
variable totrue
. -
If you are using MacOS, replace
cp -RT
withcp -R
in the relevant commands. The-T
flag is required for Linux, but causes problems for MacOS. -
This module manages contacts for notifications using Essential Contacts. Essential Contacts are assigned at the parent (organization or folder) that you configure to be inherited by all child resources. You can also assign Essential Contacts directly to projects using the project-factory essential_contacts submodule. Billing notifications are sent to the
group_billing_admins
mandatory group. Legal and suspension notifications are sent to thegroup_org_admins
mandatory group. If you provide all other groups, notifications are configured as described in the following table.
Group | Notification Category | Fallback Group |
---|---|---|
gcp_network_viewer | Technical | Org Admins |
gcp_platform_viewer | Product updates and technical | Org Admins |
gcp_scc_admin | Product updates and security | Org Admins |
gcp_security_reviewer | Security and technical | Org Admins |
This module creates and applies tags to common, network, and bootstrap folders. These tags are also applied to environment folders of step 2-environments. You can create your own tags by editing the local.tags
map in tags.tf
and following the commented template. The following table describes details about the tags that are applied to resources:
Resource | Type | Step | Tag Key | Tag Value |
---|---|---|---|---|
bootstrap | folder | 1-org | environment | bootstrap |
common | folder | 1-org | environment | production |
network | folder | 1-org | environment | production |
enviroment development | folder | 2-environments | environment | development |
enviroment nonproduction | folder | 2-environments | environment | nonproduction |
enviroment production | folder | 2-environments | environment | production |
-
Clone the
gcp-org
repo based on the Terraform output from the0-bootstrap
step. Clone the repo at the same level of theterraform-example-foundation
folder. If required, 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 ${CLOUD_BUILD_PROJECT_ID} gcloud source repos clone gcp-org --project=${CLOUD_BUILD_PROJECT_ID}
Note: The message
warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.
is normal and can be ignored. -
Navigate into the repo, change to a nonproduction branch, and copy the contents of foundation to the new repo. All subsequent steps assume you are running them from the
gcp-org
directory. If you run them from another directory, adjust your copy paths accordingly.cd gcp-org git checkout -b plan cp -RT ../terraform-example-foundation/1-org/ . cp ../terraform-example-foundation/build/cloudbuild-tf-* . cp ../terraform-example-foundation/build/tf-wrapper.sh . chmod 755 ./tf-wrapper.sh
-
Rename
./envs/shared/terraform.example.tfvars
to./envs/shared/terraform.tfvars
mv ./envs/shared/terraform.example.tfvars ./envs/shared/terraform.tfvars
-
Check if a Security Command Center notification with the default name, scc-notify, already exists. If it exists, choose a different value for the
scc_notification_name
variable in the./envs/shared/terraform.tfvars
file.export ORGANIZATION_ID=$(terraform -chdir="../terraform-example-foundation/0-bootstrap/" output -json common_config | jq '.org_id' --raw-output) gcloud scc notifications describe "scc-notify" --organization=${ORGANIZATION_ID}
-
Check if your organization already has an Access Context Manager policy.
export ACCESS_CONTEXT_MANAGER_ID=$(gcloud access-context-manager policies list --organization ${ORGANIZATION_ID} --format="value(name)") echo "access_context_manager_policy_id = ${ACCESS_CONTEXT_MANAGER_ID}"
-
Update the
envs/shared/terraform.tfvars
file with values from your environment and 0-bootstrap step. If the previous step showed a numeric value, un-comment the variablecreate_access_context_manager_access_policy = false
. See the shared folder README.md for additional information on the values in theterraform.tfvars
file.export backend_bucket=$(terraform -chdir="../terraform-example-foundation/0-bootstrap/" output -raw gcs_bucket_tfstate) echo "remote_state_bucket = ${backend_bucket}" sed -i'' -e "s/REMOTE_STATE_BUCKET/${backend_bucket}/" ./envs/shared/terraform.tfvars if [ ! -z "${ACCESS_CONTEXT_MANAGER_ID}" ]; then sed -i'' -e "s=//create_access_context_manager_access_policy=create_access_context_manager_access_policy=" ./envs/shared/terraform.tfvars; fi
-
Commit changes.
git add . git commit -m 'Initialize org repo'
-
Push your plan branch to trigger a plan for all environments. Because the plan branch is not a named environment branch, pushing your plan branch triggers terraform plan but not terraform apply. Review the plan output in your Cloud Build project.
git push --set-upstream origin plan
-
Merge changes to the production branch. Because the production branch is a named environment branch, pushing to this branch triggers both terraform plan and terraform apply. Review the apply output in your Cloud Build project.
git checkout -b production git push origin production
-
Proceed to the 2-environments step.
Troubleshooting:
If you received a PERMISSION_DENIED
error while running the gcloud access-context-manager
or the gcloud scc notifications
commands, you can append the following to run the command as the Terraform service account:
--impersonate-service-account=$(terraform -chdir="../terraform-example-foundation/0-bootstrap/" output -raw organization_step_terraform_service_account_email)
See 0-bootstrap
README-Jenkins.md.
See 0-bootstrap
README-GitHub.md.
-
The next instructions assume that you are at the same level of the
terraform-example-foundation
folder. Creategcp-org
folder, copy1-org
content and Terraform wrapper script; ensure it can be executed.mkdir gcp-org cp -R terraform-example-foundation/1-org/* gcp-org/ cp terraform-example-foundation/build/tf-wrapper.sh gcp-org/ cp terraform-example-foundation/.gitignore gcp-org/ cd gcp-org chmod 755 ./tf-wrapper.sh
-
Initialize a local Git repository to manage versions locally. Then, create the environment branches.
git init git commit -m "initialize empty directory" --allow-empty git checkout -b plan git checkout -b production
-
Rename
./envs/shared/terraform.example.tfvars
to./envs/shared/terraform.tfvars
.mv ./envs/shared/terraform.example.tfvars ./envs/shared/terraform.tfvars
-
Check if a Security Command Center notification with the default name, scc-notify, already exists. If it exists, choose a different value for the
scc_notification_name
variable in the./envs/shared/terraform.tfvars
file.export ORGANIZATION_ID=$(terraform -chdir="../gcp-bootstrap/" output -json common_config | jq '.org_id' --raw-output) gcloud scc notifications describe "scc-notify" --organization=${ORGANIZATION_ID}
-
Check if your organization already has an Access Context Manager policy.
export ACCESS_CONTEXT_MANAGER_ID=$(gcloud access-context-manager policies list --organization ${ORGANIZATION_ID} --format="value(name)") echo "access_context_manager_policy_id = ${ACCESS_CONTEXT_MANAGER_ID}"
-
Update the
envs/shared/terraform.tfvars
file with values from your environment andgcp-bootstrap
step. If the previous step showed a numeric value, un-comment the variablecreate_access_context_manager_access_policy = false
. See the shared folder README.md for additional information on the values in theterraform.tfvars
file.export backend_bucket=$(terraform -chdir="../gcp-bootstrap/" output -raw gcs_bucket_tfstate) echo "remote_state_bucket = ${backend_bucket}" sed -i'' -e "s/REMOTE_STATE_BUCKET/${backend_bucket}/" ./envs/shared/terraform.tfvars if [ ! -z "${ACCESS_CONTEXT_MANAGER_ID}" ]; then sed -i'' -e "s=//create_access_context_manager_access_policy=create_access_context_manager_access_policy=" ./envs/shared/terraform.tfvars; fi
You can now deploy your environment (production) using this script.
To use the validate
option of the tf-wrapper.sh
script, follow the instructions to install the terraform-tools component.
-
Use
terraform output
to get the Seed project ID and the organization step Terraform service account from gcp-bootstrap output. An environment variableGOOGLE_IMPERSONATE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
will be set using the Terraform Service Account to enable impersonation.export SEED_PROJECT_ID=$(terraform -chdir="../gcp-bootstrap/" output -raw seed_project_id) echo ${SEED_PROJECT_ID} export GOOGLE_IMPERSONATE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT=$(terraform -chdir="../gcp-bootstrap/" output -raw organization_step_terraform_service_account_email) echo ${GOOGLE_IMPERSONATE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT}
-
Run
init
andplan
and review the output.git checkout plan ./tf-wrapper.sh init production ./tf-wrapper.sh plan production
-
Run
validate
and resolve any violations../tf-wrapper.sh validate production $(pwd)/../gcp-policies ${SEED_PROJECT_ID}
-
Commit validated code in plan branch.
git add . git commit -m "Initial version of gcp-org."
-
Checkout
production
branch and merge plan into it. Runapply production
.git checkout production git merge plan ./tf-wrapper.sh apply production
If you receive any errors or made any changes to the Terraform config or terraform.tfvars
, re-run ./tf-wrapper.sh plan production
before you run ./tf-wrapper.sh apply production
.
Before executing the next stages, unset the GOOGLE_IMPERSONATE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
environment variable.
unset GOOGLE_IMPERSONATE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
