# Hub and Spoke via VPN

This blueprint creates a simple **Hub and Spoke VPN** setup, where the VPC network connects satellite locations (spokes) through a single intermediary location (hub) via [IPsec HA VPN](https://cloud.google.com/network-connectivity/docs/vpn/concepts/overview#ha-vpn).

A few additional features are also shown:

- [custom BGP advertisements](https://cloud.google.com/router/docs/how-to/advertising-overview) to implement transitivity between spokes
- [VPC Global Routing](https://cloud.google.com/network-connectivity/docs/router/how-to/configuring-routing-mode) to leverage a regional set of VPN gateways in different regions as next hops (used here for illustrative/study purpose, not usually done in real life)

The blueprint has been purposefully kept simple to show how to use and wire the VPC and VPN-HA modules together, and so that it can be used as a basis for experimentation. For a more complex scenario that better reflects real-life usage, including [Shared VPC](https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/shared-vpc) and [DNS cross-project binding](https://cloud.google.com/dns/docs/zones/cross-project-binding) please refer to the [FAST network stage](../../../fast/stages/2-networking-b-vpn/).

This is the high level diagram of this blueprint:

## Managed resources and services

This sample creates several distinct groups of resources:

- one VPC for each hub and each spoke
- one set of firewall rules for each VPC
- one HA VPN gateway with two tunnels and one Cloud Router for each spoke
- two HA VPN gateways with two tunnels and a shared Cloud Routers for the hub
- one DNS private zone in the hub
- one DNS peering zone and one DNS private zone in each spoke
- one test instance for the hub each spoke

## Prerequisites

A single pre-existing project is used in this blueprint to keep variables and complexity to a minimum, in a real world scenarios each spoke would probably use a separate project.

The provided project needs a valid billing account, the Compute and DNS APIs are enabled by the blueprint.

You can easily create such a project by commenting turning on project creation in the project module contained in `main.tf`, as shown in this snippet:

```hcl
module "project" {
  source = "../../../modules/project"
  name   = var.project_id
  # comment or remove this line to enable project creation
  # project_create = false
  # add the following line with your billing account id value
  billing_account = "12345-ABCD-12345"
  services = [
    "compute.googleapis.com",
    "dns.googleapis.com"
  ]
}

# tftest skip
```

## Testing

Once the blueprint is up, you can quickly test features by logging in to one of the test VMs:

```bash
gcloud compute ssh hs-ha-lnd-test-r1
# test DNS resolution of the landing zone
ping test-r1.example.com
# test DNS resolution of the prod zone, and prod reachability
ping test-r1.prod.example.com
# test DNS resolution of the dev zone, and dev reachability via global routing
ping test-r2.dev.example.com
```
