Organization bootstrap

The primary purpose of this stage is to enable critical organization-level functionalities that depend on broad administrative permissions, and prepare the prerequisites needed to enable automation in this and future stages.

It is intentionally simple, to minimize usage of administrative-level permissions and enable simple auditing and troubleshooting, and only deals with three sets of resources:

  • project, service accounts, and GCS buckets for automation
  • projects, BQ datasets, and sinks for audit log and billing exports
  • IAM bindings on the organization

Use the following diagram as a simple high level reference for the following sections, which describe the stage and its possible customizations in detail.

Organization-level diagram

Design overview and choices

As mentioned above, this stage only does the bare minimum required to bootstrap automation, and ensure that base audit and billing exports are in place from the start to provide some measure of accountability, even before the security configurations are applied in a later stage.

It also sets up organization-level IAM bindings so the Organization Administrator role is only used here, trading off some design freedom for ease of auditing and troubleshooting, and reducing the risk of costly security mistakes down the line. The only exception to this rule is for the Resource Management stage service account, described below.

User groups

User groups are important, not only here but throughout the whole automation process. They provide a stable frame of reference that allows decoupling the final set of permissions for each group, from the stage where entities and resources are created and their IAM bindings defined. For example, the final set of roles for the networking group is contributed by this stage at the organization level (XPN Admin, Cloud Asset Viewer, etc.), and by the Resource Management stage at the folder level.

We have standardized the initial set of groups on those outlined in the GCP Enterprise Setup Checklist to simplify adoption. They provide a comprehensive and flexible starting point that can suit most users. Adding new groups, or deviating from the initial setup is possible and reasonably simple, and it's briefly outlined in the customization section below.

Organization-level IAM

The service account used in the Resource Management stage needs to be able to grant specific permissions at the organizational level, to enable specific functionality for subsequent stages that deal with network or security resources, or billing-related activities.

In order to be able to assign those roles without having the full authority of the Organization Admin role, this stage defines a custom role that only allows setting IAM policies on the organization, and grants it via a delegated role grant that only allows it to be used to grant a limited subset of roles.

In this way, the Resource Management service account can effectively act as an Organization Admin, but only to grant the specific roles it needs to control.

One consequence of the above setup is the need to configure IAM bindings that can be assigned via the condition as non-authoritative, since those same roles are effectively under the control of two stages: this one and Resource Management. Using authoritative bindings for these roles (instead of non-authoritative ones) would generate potential conflicts, where each stage could try to overwrite and negate the bindings applied by the other at each apply cycle.

A full reference of IAM roles managed by this stage is available here.

Organization policies and tag-based conditions

It's often desirable to have organization policies deployed before any other resource in the org, so as to ensure compliance with specific requirements (e.g. location restrictions), or control the configuration of specific resources (e.g. default network at project creation or service account grants).

To cover this use case, organization policies have been moved from the resource management to the bootstrap stage in FAST versions after 26.0.0. They are managed via the usual factory approach, and a sample set of data files is included with this stage. They are not applied during the initial run when the bootstrap_user variable is set, to work around incompatibilities with user credentials.

The only current exception to the factory approach is the iam.allowedPolicyMemberDomains constraint, which is managed in code so as to be able to auto-allow the organization's domain. More domains can be added via the org_policies_config variable, which also serves as an umbrella for future policies that will need to be managed in code.

Organization policy exceptions are managed via a dedicated resource management tag hierarchy, rooted in the org-policies tag key. A default condition is already present for the the iam.allowedPolicyMemberDomains constraint, that relaxes the policy on resources that have the org-policies/allowed-policy-member-domains-all tag value bound or inherited.

Further tag values can be defined via the org_policies_config.tag_values variable, and IAM access can be granted on them via the same variable. Once a tag value has been created, its id can be used in constraint rule conditions.

Management of the rest of the tag hierarchy is delegated to the resource management stage, as that is often intimately tied to the folder hierarchy design.

The organization policy tag key and values managed by this stage have been added to the 0-bootstrap.auto.tfvars stage, so that IAM can be delegated to the resource management or successive stages via their ids.

The following example shows an example on how to define an additional tag value, and use it in a boolean constraint rule.

This snippet defines a new tag value under the org-policies tag key via the org_policies_config variable, and assigns the permission to bind it to a group.

# stage 0 custom tfvars
org_policies_config = {
  tag_values = {
    compute-require-oslogin-false = {
      description = "Bind this tag to set oslogin to false."
      iam = {
        "roles/resourcemanager.tagUser" = [
          "group:foo@example.com"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}
# tftest skip

The above tag can be used to define a constraint condition via the data/org-policies/compute.yaml or similar factory file. The id in the condition is the organization id, followed by the name of the organization policy tag key (defaults to org-policies).

compute.requireOsLogin:
  rules:
  - enforce: true
  - enforce: false
    condition:
      expression: resource.matchTag('12345678/org-policies-config', 'compute-require-oslogin-false')

Automation project and resources

One other design choice worth mentioning here is using a single automation project for all foundational stages. We trade off some complexity on the API side (single source for usage quota, multiple service activation) for increased flexibility and simpler operations, while still effectively providing the same degree of separation via resource-level IAM.

Billing account

We support three use cases in regards to billing:

  • the billing account is part of this same organization, IAM bindings will be set at the organization level
  • the billing account is not considered part of an organization (even though it might be), billing IAM bindings are set on the billing account itself
  • billing IAM is managed separately, and no bindings should (or can) be set via Terraform, this requires a few extra steps and is definitely not recommended and mainly used for development purposes

For same-organization billing, we configure a custom organization role that can set IAM bindings, via a delegated role grant to limit its scope to the relevant roles.

For details on configuring the different billing account modes, refer to the How to run this stage section below.

Because of limitations of API availability, manual steps have to be followed to enable billing export within billing project to BigQuery dataset billing_export which will be created as part of the bootstrap stage. The process to share billing data is outlined here.

Organization-level logging

We create organization-level log sinks early in the bootstrap process to ensure a proper audit trail is in place from the very beginning. By default, we provide log filters to capture Cloud Audit Logs, VPC Service Controls violations and Workspace Logs into logging buckets in the top-level audit logging project.

The Customizations section explains how to change the logs captured and their destination.

Naming

We are intentionally not supporting random prefix/suffixes for names, as that is an antipattern typically only used in development. It does not map to our customer's actual production usage, where they always adopt a fixed naming convention.

What is implemented here is a fairly common convention, composed of tokens ordered by relative importance:

  • an organization-level static prefix less or equal to 9 characters (e.g. myco or myco-gcp)
  • an optional tenant-level prefix, if using multitenant stages
  • an environment identifier (e.g. prod)
  • a team/owner identifier (e.g. sec for Security)
  • a context identifier (e.g. core or kms)
  • an arbitrary identifier used to distinguish similar resources (e.g. 0, 1)

Tokens are joined by a - character, making it easy to separate the individual tokens visually, and to programmatically split them in billing exports to derive initial high-level groupings for cost attribution.

The convention is used in its full form only for specific resources with globally unique names (projects, GCS buckets). Other resources adopt a shorter version for legibility, as the full context can always be derived from their project.

The Customizations section on names below explains how to configure tokens, or implement a different naming convention.

Workforce Identity Federation

This stage supports configuration of Workforce Identity Federation which lets an external identity provider (IdP) to authenticate and authorize a group of users (usually employees) using IAM, so that the users can access Google Cloud services.

The following example shows an example on how to define a Workforce Identity pool for the organization.

# stage 0 wif tfvars
workforce_identity_providers = {
  test = {
    issuer       = "azuread"
    display_name = "wif-provider"
    description  = "Workforce Identity pool"
    saml         = {
      idp_metadata_xml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>..."
    }
  }
}
# tftest skip

Workload Identity Federation and CI/CD

This stage also implements initial support for two interrelated features

  • configuration of Workload Identity Federation pools and providers
  • configuration of CI/CD repositories to allow impersonation via Workload identity Federation, and stage running via provided workflow templates

Workload Identity Federation support allows configuring external providers independently from CI/CD, and offers predefined attributes for a few well known ones (more can be easily added by editing the identity-providers.tf file). Once providers have been configured their names are passed to the following stages via interface outputs, and can be leveraged to set up access or impersonation in IAM bindings.

CI/CD support is fully implemented for GitHub, Gitlab, and Cloud Source Repositories / Cloud Build. For GitHub, we also offer a separate supporting setup to quickly create / configure repositories.

For details on how to configure both features, refer to the Customizations sections below on Workload Identity Federation and CI/CD repositories.

These features are optional and only enabled if the relevant variables have been populated.

How to run this stage

This stage has straightforward initial requirements, as it is designed to work on newly created GCP organizations. Four steps are needed to bring up this stage:

  • an Organization Admin self-assigns the required roles listed below
  • the same administrator runs the first init/apply sequence passing a special variable to apply
  • the providers configuration file is derived from the Terraform output or linked from the generated file
  • a second init is run to migrate state, and from then on, the stage is run via impersonation

Prerequisites

The roles that the Organization Admin used in the first apply needs to self-grant are:

  • Billing Account Administrator (roles/billing.admin) either on the organization or the billing account (see the following section for details)
  • Logging Admin (roles/logging.admin)
  • Organization Role Administrator (roles/iam.organizationRoleAdmin)
  • Organization Administrator (roles/resourcemanager.organizationAdmin)
  • Project Creator (roles/resourcemanager.projectCreator)
  • Tag Admin (roles/resourcemanager.tagAdmin)
  • Owner (roles/owner)

To quickly self-grant the above roles, run the following code snippet as the initial Organization Admin:

# set variable for current logged in user
export FAST_BU=$(gcloud config list --format 'value(core.account)')

# find and set your org id
gcloud organizations list
export FAST_ORG_ID=123456

# set needed roles
export FAST_ROLES="roles/billing.admin roles/logging.admin \
  roles/iam.organizationRoleAdmin roles/resourcemanager.projectCreator \
  roles/resourcemanager.organizationAdmin roles/resourcemanager.tagAdmin \
  roles/owner"

for role in $FAST_ROLES; do
  gcloud organizations add-iam-policy-binding $FAST_ORG_ID \
    --member user:$FAST_BU --role $role --condition None
done

Then make sure the same user is also part of the gcp-organization-admins group so that impersonating the automation service account later on will be possible.

Standalone billing account

If you are using a standalone billing account, the identity applying this stage for the first time needs to be a billing account administrator:

export FAST_BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID=ABCD-01234-ABCD
gcloud beta billing accounts add-iam-policy-binding $FAST_BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID \
  --member user:$FAST_BU --role roles/billing.admin

This configuration is possible but unsupported and only present for development purposes, use at your own risk:

  • configure billing_account.id as null and billing.no_iam to true in your tfvars file
  • apply with terraform apply -target 'module.automation-project.google_project.project[0]' in addition to the initial user variable
  • once Terraform raises an error run terraform untaint 'module.automation-project.google_project.project[0]'
  • repeat the two steps above for 'module.log-export-project.google_project.project[0]'
  • go through the process to associate the billing account with the two projects
  • configure billing_account.id with the real billing account id
  • resume applying normally

Groups

Before the first run, the following IAM groups must exist to allow IAM bindings to be created (actual names are flexible, see the Customization section):

  • gcp-billing-admins
  • gcp-devops
  • gcp-network-admins
  • gcp-organization-admins
  • gcp-security-admins

You can refer to this animated image for a step by step on group creation via the Google Cloud Enterprise Checklist.

Please note that not all groups defined by the Checklist are actually used by FAST, as our approach to IAM is slightly different. As an example, we do not centralize monitoring functions as in our experience those are typically domain-specific (e.g. networking or application-level), so we don't leverage the corresponding groups. You are free of course to create those groups via the Checklist, and assign them roles via the IAM variables exposed by this stage.

One more difference compared to the Checklist is the use in FAST of an additional group to centralize support functions like viewing tickets and accessing logging and monitoring data. To remain consistent with the Google Cloud Enterprise Checklist we map these permissions to the gcp-devops group by default. However, we recommend creating a dedicated gcp-support group and updating the groups variable with the right value.

Configure variables

Then make sure you have configured the correct values for the following variables by providing a terraform.tfvars file:

  • billing_account an object containing id as the id of your billing account, derived from the Cloud Console UI or by running gcloud beta billing accounts list, and the is_org_level flag that controls whether organization or account-level bindings are used, and a billing export project and dataset are created
  • groups the name mappings for your groups, if you're following the default convention you can leave this to the provided default
  • organization.id, organization.domain, organization.customer_id the id, domain and customer id of your organization, derived from the Cloud Console UI or by running gcloud organizations list
  • prefix the fixed org-level prefix used in your naming, maximum 9 characters long. Note that if you are using multitenant stages, then you will later need to configure a tenant prefix. This tenant prefix can have a maximum length of 2 characters, plus any unused characters from the from the prefix. For example, if you specify a prefix that is 7 characters long, then your tenant prefix can have a maximum of 4 characters.

You can also adapt the example that follows to your needs:

# use `gcloud beta billing accounts list`
# if you have too many accounts, check the Cloud Console :)
billing_account = {
 id              = "012345-67890A-BCDEF0"
}

# use `gcloud organizations list`
organization = {
 domain      = "example.org"
 id          = 1234567890
 customer_id = "C000001"
}

outputs_location = "~/fast-config"

# use something unique and no longer than 9 characters
prefix = "abcd"

Output files and cross-stage variables

Each foundational FAST stage generates provider configurations and variable files can be consumed by the following stages, and saves them in a dedicated GCS bucket in the automation project. These files are a handy way to simplify stage configuration, and are also used by our CI/CD workflows to configure the repository files in the pipelines that validate and apply the code.

Alongisde the GCS stored files, you can also configure a second copy to be saves on the local filesystem, as a convenience when developing or bringing up the infrastructure before a proper CI/CD setup is in place.

This second set of files is disabled by default, you can enable it by setting the outputs_location variable to a valid path on a local filesystem, e.g.

outputs_location = "~/fast-config"

Once the variable is set, apply will generate and manage providers and variables files, including the initial one used for this stage after the first run. You can then link these files in the relevant stages, instead of manually transferring outputs from one stage, to Terraform variables in another.

Below is the outline of the output files generated by all stages, which is identical for both the GCS and local filesystem copies:

[path specified in outputs_location]
├── providers
│   ├── 0-bootstrap-providers.tf
│   ├── 1-resman-providers.tf
│   ├── 2-networking-providers.tf
│   ├── 2-security-providers.tf
│   ├── 3-project-factory-dev-providers.tf
│   ├── 3-project-factory-prod-providers.tf
│   └── 9-sandbox-providers.tf
└── tfvars
│   ├── 0-bootstrap.auto.tfvars.json
│   ├── 1-resman.auto.tfvars.json
│   ├── 2-networking.auto.tfvars.json
│   └── 2-security.auto.tfvars.json
└── workflows
    └── [optional depending on the configured CI/CD repositories]

Running the stage

Before running init and apply, check your environment so no extra variables that might influence authentication are present (e.g. GOOGLE_IMPERSONATE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT). In general you should use user application credentials, and FAST will then take care to provision automation identities and configure impersonation for you.

When running the first apply as a user, you need to pass a special runtime variable so that the user roles are preserved when setting IAM bindings.

terraform init
terraform apply \
  -var bootstrap_user=$(gcloud config list --format 'value(core.account)')

If you see an error related to project name already exists, please make sure the project name is unique or the project was not deleted recently

Once the initial apply completes successfully, configure a remote backend using the new GCS bucket, and impersonation on the automation service account for this stage. To do this you can use the generated providers.tf file from either

  • the local filesystem if you have configured output files as described above
  • the GCS bucket where output files are always stored
  • Terraform outputs (not recommended as it's more complex)

The following two snippets show how to leverage the stage-links.sh script in the root FAST folder to fetch the commands required for output files linking or copying, using either the local output folder configured via Terraform variables, or the GCS bucket which can be derived from the automation output.

../../stage-links.sh ~/fast-config

# copy and paste the following commands for '0-bootstrap'

ln -s ~/fast-config/providers/0-bootstrap-providers.tf ./
../../stage-links.sh gs://xxx-prod-iac-core-outputs-0

# copy and paste the following commands for '0-bootstrap'

gcloud alpha storage cp gs://xxx-prod-iac-core-outputs-0/providers/0-bootstrap-providers.tf ./

Copy/paste the command returned by the script to link or copy the provider file, then migrate state with terraform init and run terraform apply. If your organization was created with "Secure by Default Org Policy", that is with some of the org policies enabled, add -var 'org_policies_config={"import_defaults": true}' to terraform apply:

terraform init -migrate-state
terraform apply

or

terraform init -migrate-state
terraform apply -var 'org_policies_config={"import_defaults": true}'

if there default policies are enabled.

Make sure the user you're logged in with is a member of the gcp-organization-admins group or impersonation will not be possible.

Customizations

Most variables (e.g. billing_account and organization) are only used to input actual values and should be self-explanatory. The only meaningful customizations that apply here are groups, and IAM roles.

Group names

As we mentioned above, groups reflect the convention used in the GCP Enterprise Setup Checklist, with an added level of indirection: the groups variable maps logical names to actual names, so that you don't need to delve into the code if your group names do not comply with the checklist convention.

For example, if your network admins team is called net-rockstars@example.com, simply set that name in the variable, minus the domain which is interpolated internally with the organization domain:

variable "groups" {
  description = "Group names to grant organization-level permissions."
  type        = map(string)
  default = {
    gcp-network-admins = "net-rockstars"
    # [...]
  }
}
# tftest skip

If your groups layout differs substantially from the checklist, define all relevant groups in the groups variable, then rearrange IAM roles in the code to match your setup.

IAM

One other area where we directly support customizations is IAM. The code here, as in all stages, follows a simple pattern derived from best practices:

  • operational roles for humans are assigned to groups
  • any other principal is a service account

In code, the distinction above reflects on how IAM bindings are specified in the underlying module variables:

  • group roles "for humans" always use iam_groups variables
  • service account roles always use iam variables

This makes it easy to tweak user roles by adding mappings to the iam_groups variables of the relevant resources, without having to understand and deal with the details of service account roles.

One more critical difference in IAM bindings is between authoritative and additive:

  • authoritative bindings have complete control on principals for a given role; this is the recommended best practice when a single automation actor controls the role, as it removes drift each time Terraform runs
  • additive bindings have control only on given role/principal pairs, and need to be used whenever multiple automation actors need to control the role, as is the case for the network user role in Shared VPC setups, and many other situations

This stage groups all IAM definitions in the organization-iam.tf file, to allow easy parsing of roles assigned to each group and machine identity.

When customizations are needed, three stage-level variables allow injecting additional bindings to match the desired setup:

  • group_iam allows adding authoritative bindings for groups
  • iam allows adding authoritative bindings for any type of supported principal, and is merged with the internal iam local and then with group bindings at the module level
  • iam_bindings_additive allows adding individual role/member pairs, and also supports IAM conditions

Refer to the project module for examples on how to use the IAM variables, and they are an interface shared across all our modules.

Log sinks and log destinations

You can customize organization-level logs through the log_sinks variable in two ways:

  • creating additional log sinks to capture more logs
  • changing the destination of captured logs

By default, all logs are exported to a log bucket, but FAST can create sinks to BigQuery, GCS, or PubSub.

If you need to capture additional logs, please refer to GCP's documentation on scenarios for exporting logging data, where you can find ready-made filter expressions for different use cases.

Names and naming convention

Configuring the individual tokens for the naming convention described above, has varying degrees of complexity:

  • the static prefix can be set via the prefix variable once
  • the environment identifier is set to prod as resources here influence production and are considered as such, and can be changed in main.tf locals

All other tokens are set directly in resource names, as providing abstractions to manage them would have added too much complexity to the code, making it less readable and more fragile.

If a different convention is needed, identify names via search/grep (e.g. with ^\s+name\s+=\s+") and change them in an editor: it should take a couple of minutes at most, as there's just a handful of modules and resources to change.

Names used in internal references (e.g. module.foo-prod.id) are only used by Terraform and do not influence resource naming, so they are best left untouched to avoid having to debug complex errors.

Workload Identity Federation

At any time during this stage's lifecycle you can configure a Workload Identity Federation pool, and one or more providers. These are part of this stage's interface, included in the automatically generated .tfvars files and accepted by the Resource Managent stage that follows.

The variable maps each provider's issuer attribute with the definitions in the identity-providers.tf file. We currently support GitHub and Gitlab directly, and extending to definitions to support more providers is trivial (send us a PR if you do!).

Provider key names are used by the cicd_repositories variable to configure authentication for CI/CD repositories, and generally from your Terraform code whenever you need to configure IAM access or impersonation for federated identities.

This is a sample configuration of a GitHub and a Gitlab provider. Every parameter is optional.

The custom_settings attributes are used to configure the provider to work with privately managed installations of Github and Gitlab:

  • issuer_uri (defaults to the public platforms one if not set)
  • audience (defaults to the public URL of the provider if not set, as recommended in the WIF FAQ section)
  • jwks_json for public key upload
workload_identity_providers = {
  # Use the public GitHub and specify an attribute condition
  github-public-sample = {
    attribute_condition = "attribute.repository_owner==\"my-github-org\""
    issuer              = "github"
  }
  # Use a private instance of Gitlab and specify a custom issuer_uri
  gitlab-private-sample = {
    issuer              = "gitlab"
    custom_settings     = {
      issuer_uri = "https://gitlab.fast.example.com"
    }
  }
  # Use a private instance of Gitlab.
  # Specify a custom audience and a custom issuer_uri
  gitlab-private-aud-sample = {
    attribute_condition = "attribute.namespace_path==\"my-gitlab-org\""
    issuer              = "gitlab"
    custom_settings = {
      audiences = ["https://gitlab.fast.example.com"]
      issuer_uri        = "https://gitlab.fast.example.com"
    }
  }
}

CI/CD repositories

FAST is designed to directly support running in automated workflows from separate repositories for each stage. The cicd_repositories variable allows you to configure impersonation from external repositories leveraging Workload identity Federation, and pre-configures a FAST workflow file that can be used to validate and apply the code in each repository.

The repository design we support is fairly simple, with a repository for modules that enables centralization and versioning, and one repository for each stage optionally configured from the previous stage.

This is an example of configuring the bootstrap and resource management repositories in this stage. CI/CD configuration is optional, so the entire variable or any of its attributes can be set to null if not needed.

cicd_repositories = {
  bootstrap = {
    branch            = null
    identity_provider = "github-sample"
    name              = "my-gh-org/fast-bootstrap"
    type              = "github"
  }
  resman = {
    branch            = "main"
    identity_provider = "github-sample"
    name              = "my-gh-org/fast-resman"
    type              = "github"
  }
}

The type attribute can be set to one of the supported repository types: github, gitlab, or sourcerepo.

Once the stage is applied the generated output files will contain pre-configured workflow files for each repository, that will use Workload Identity Federation via a dedicated service account for each repository to impersonate the automation service account for the stage.

You can use Terraform to automate creation of the repositories using the extra stage defined in fast/extras/0-cicd-github (only for Github for now).

The remaining configuration is manual, as it regards the repositories themselves:

  • create a repository for modules
    • clone and populate it with the Fabric modules
    • configure authentication to the modules repository
      • for GitHub
        • create a key pair
        • create a deploy key in the modules repository with the public key
        • create a CICD_MODULES_KEY secret with the private key in each of the repositories that need to access modules (for Gitlab, please Base64 encode the private key for masking)
      • for Gitlab
        • TODO
      • for Source Repositories
        • assign the reader role to the CI/CD service accounts
  • create one repository for each stage
    • clone and populate them with the stage source
    • edit the modules source to match your modules repository
      • a simple way is using the "Replace in files" function of your editor
        • search for source\s*= "../../../modules/([^"]+)"
        • replace with:
          • modules stored on GitHub: source = "git@github.com:my-org/fast-modules.git//$1?ref=v1.0"
          • modules stored on Gitlab: source = "git::ssh://git@gitlab.com/my-org/fast-modules.git//$1?ref=v1.0"
          • modules stored on Source Repositories: "source = git::https://source.developers.google.com/p/my-project/r/my-repository//$1?ref=v1.0". You may need to run git config --global credential.'https://source.developers.google.com'.helper gcloud.sh first as documented here
    • copy the generated workflow file for the stage from the GCS output files bucket or from the local clone if enabled
      • for GitHub, place it in a .github/workflows folder in the repository root
      • for Gitlab, rename it to .gitlab-ci.yml and place it in the repository root
      • for Source Repositories, place it in .cloudbuild/workflow.yaml

Toggling features

Some FAST features can be enabled or disabled using the fast_features variables. While this variable is not directly used in the bootstrap stage, it can instruct the following stages to create certain resources only if needed.

The fast_features variable consists of 4 toggles:

  • data_platform controls the creation of required resources (folders, service accounts, buckets, IAM bindings) to deploy the 3-data-platform stage
  • gke controls the creation of required resources (folders, service accounts, buckets, IAM bindings) to deploy the 3-gke-multitenant stage
  • project_factory controls the creation of required resources (folders, service accounts, buckets, IAM bindings) to deploy the 3-project-factory stage
  • sandbox controls the creation of a "Sandbox" top level folder with relaxed policies, intended for sandbox environments where users can experiment
  • teams controls the creation of the top level "Teams" folder used by the teams feature in resman.
