# GCE and GCS CMEK via centralized Cloud KMS
This example creates a sample centralized [Cloud KMS](https://cloud.google.com/kms?hl=it) configuration, and uses it to implement CMEK for [Cloud Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/encryption/using-customer-managed-keys) and [Compute Engine](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/customer-managed-encryption) in a separate project.
The example is designed to match real-world use cases with a minimum amount of resources, and be used as a starting point for scenarios where application projects implement CMEK using keys managed by a central team. It also includes the IAM wiring needed to make such scenarios work.
This is the high level diagram:

## Managed resources and services
This sample creates several distinct groups of resources:
- projects
- Cloud KMS project
- Service Project configured for GCE instances and GCS buckets
- networking
- VPC network
- One subnet
- Firewall rules for [SSH access via IAP](https://cloud.google.com/iap/docs/using-tcp-forwarding) and open communication within the VPC
- IAM
- One service account for the GGE instance
- KMS
- One key ring
- One crypto key (Procection level: softwere) for Cloud Engine
- One crypto key (Protection level: softwere) for Cloud Storage
- GCE
- One instance encrypted with a CMEK Cryptokey hosted in Cloud KMS
- GCS
- One bucket encrypted with a CMEK Cryptokey hosted in Cloud KMS
