Minimal Project Factory

This module implements a minimal, opinionated project factory (see Factories for rationale) that allows for the creation of projects.

While the module can be invoked by manually populating the required variables, its interface is meant for the massive creation of resources leveraging a set of well-defined YaML documents, as shown in the examples below.

The Project Factory is meant to be executed by a Service Account (or a regular user) having this minimal set of permissions over your resources:

Org level - a custom role for networking operations including the following permissions
- "compute.organizations.enableXpnResource",
- "compute.organizations.disableXpnResource",
- "compute.subnetworks.setIamPolicy",
- "dns.networks.bindPrivateDNSZone"
- and role "roles/orgpolicy.policyAdmin"
on each folder where projects will be created
- "roles/logging.admin"
- "roles/owner"
- "roles/resourcemanager.folderAdmin"
- "roles/resourcemanager.projectCreator"
on the host project for the Shared VPC/s
- "roles/browser"
- "roles/compute.viewer"
- "roles/dns.admin"
