Project Factory

This module implements in code the end-to-end project creation process for multiple projects via YAML data configurations.

It supports

• multiple project creation and management exposing the full configuration options available in the project module, including KMS key grants and VPC-SC perimeter membership
• optional per-project service account management including basic IAM grants
• optional billing budgets factory and budget/project associations
• optional per-project IaC configuration (TODO)

The factory is implemented as a thin wrapping layer, so that no "magic" or hidden side effects are implemented in code, and debugging or integration of new features are simple.

The code is meant to be executed by a high level service accounts with powerful permissions:

• Shared VPC connection if service project attachment is desired
• project creation on the nodes (folder or org) where projects will be defined

• Leveraging data defaults, merges, optionals
• Additional resources
  • Service accounts
  • Billing budgets
• Example
• Variables
• Outputs
• Tests

Leveraging data defaults, merges, optionals

In addition to the YAML-based project configurations, the factory accepts three additional sets of inputs via Terraform variables:

• the data_defaults variable allows defining defaults for specific project attributes, which are only used if the attributes are not passed in via YAML
• the data_overrides variable works similarly to defaults, but the values specified here take precedence over those in YAML files
• the data_merges variable allows specifying additional values for map or set based variables, which are merged with the data coming from YAML

Some examples on where to use each of the three sets are provided below.

Additional resources

Service accounts

Service accounts can be managed as part of each project's YAML configuration. This allows creation of default service accounts used for GCE instances, in firewall rules, or for application-level credentials without resorting to a separate Terraform configuration.

Each service account is represented by one key and a set of optional key/value pairs in the service_accounts top-level YAML map, which expose most of the variables available in the iam-service-account module:

service_accounts:
  be-0: {}
  fe-1:
    display_name: GCE frontend service account.
    iam_self_roles:
      - roles/storage.objectViewer
    iam_project_roles:
      my-host-project:
        - roles/compute.networkUser

Both the display_name and iam_self_roles attributes are optional.

Billing budgets

The project factory integrates the billing budgets factory exposed by the [billing-account`](../billing-account/) module, and adds support for easy referencing budgets in project files.

To enable support for billing budgets, set the billing account id, optional notification channels, and the data folder for budgets in the factories_config.budgets variable, then create billing budgets using YAML definitions following the format described in the billing-account module.

Once budgets are defined, they can be referenced in a project file using their file name:

billing_account: 012345-67890A-BCDEF0
labels:
 app: app-1
 team: foo
parent: folders/12345678
services:
  - container.googleapis.com
  - storage.googleapis.com
billing_budgets:
  - test-100

The example below shows how to use the billing budgets factory.

Example

module "project-factory" {
  source = "./fabric/modules/project-factory"
  # use a default billing account if none is specified via yaml
  data_defaults = {
    billing_account = var.billing_account_id
  }
  # make sure the environment label and stackdriver service are always added
  data_merges = {
    labels = {
      environment = "test"
    }
    services = [
      "stackdriver.googleapis.com"
    ]
  }
  # always use this contaxt and prefix, regardless of what is in the yaml file
  data_overrides = {
    contacts = {
      "[email protected]" = ["ALL"]
    }
    prefix = "test-pf"
  }
  # location where the yaml files are read from
  factories_config = {
    budgets = {
      billing_account   = var.billing_account_id
      budgets_data_path = "data/budgets"
      notification_channels = {
        billing-default = {
          project_id = "foo-billing-audit"
          type       = "email"
          labels = {
            email_address = "[email protected]"
          }
        }
      }
    }
    projects_data_path = "data/projects"
  }
}
