Project Module

This module implements the creation and management of one GCP project including IAM, organization policies, Shared VPC host or service attachment, service API activation, and tag attachment. It also offers a convenient way to refer to managed service identities (aka robot service accounts) for APIs.

IAM Examples

IAM is managed via several variables that implement different levels of control:

• group_iam and iam configure authoritative bindings that manage individual roles exclusively, mapping to the google_project_iam_binding resource
• iam_additive and iam_additive_members configure additive bindings that only manage individual role/member pairs, mapping to the google_project_iam_member resource

Be mindful about service identity roles when using authoritative IAM, as you might inadvertently remove a role from a service identity or default service account. For example, using roles/editor with iam or group_iam will remove the default permissions for the Cloud Services identity. A simple workaround for these scenarios is described below.

Authoritative IAM

The iam variable is based on role keys and is typically used for service accounts, or where member values can be dynamic and would create potential problems in the underlying for_each cycle.

locals {
  gke_service_account = "my_gke_service_account"
}

module "project" {
  source          = "./fabric/modules/project"
  billing_account = "123456-123456-123456"
  name            = "project-example"
  parent          = "folders/1234567890"
  prefix          = "foo"
  services        = [
    "container.googleapis.com",
    "stackdriver.googleapis.com"
  ]
  iam = {
    "roles/container.hostServiceAgentUser" = [
      "serviceAccount:${local.gke_service_account}"
    ]
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=4

The group_iam variable uses group email addresses as keys and is a convenient way to assign roles to humans following Google's best practices. The end result is readable code that also serves as documentation.

module "project" {
  source          = "./fabric/modules/project"
  billing_account = "123456-123456-123456"
  name            = "project-example"
  parent          = "folders/1234567890"
  prefix          = "foo"
  services        = [
    "container.googleapis.com",
    "stackdriver.googleapis.com"
  ]
  group_iam = {
    "gcp-security-admins@example.com" = [
      "roles/cloudasset.owner",
      "roles/cloudsupport.techSupportEditor",
      "roles/iam.securityReviewer",
      "roles/logging.admin",
    ]
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=7

Additive IAM

Additive IAM is typically used where bindings for specific roles are controlled by different modules or in different Terraform stages. One example is when the project is created by one team but a different team manages service account creation for the project, and some of the project-level roles overlap in the two configurations.

module "project" {
  source          = "./fabric/modules/project"
  name            = "project-example"
  iam_additive = {
    "roles/viewer"               = [
      "group:one@example.org",
      "group:two@xample.org"
    ],
    "roles/storage.objectAdmin"  = [
      "group:two@example.org"
    ],
    "roles/owner"                = [
      "group:three@example.org"
    ],
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=5

Service Identities and authoritative IAM

As mentioned above, there are cases where authoritative management of specific IAM roles results in removal of default bindings from service identities. One example is outlined below, with a simple workaround leveraging the service_accounts output to identify the service identity. A full list of service identities and their roles can be found here.

module "project" {
  source          = "./fabric/modules/project"
  name            = "project-example"
  group_iam = {
    "foo@example.com" = [
      "roles/editor"
    ]
  }
  iam = {
    "roles/editor" = [      
      "serviceAccount:${module.project.service_accounts.cloud_services}"
    ]
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=2

Shared VPC service

The module allows managing Shared VPC status for both hosts and service projects, and includes a simple way of assigning Shared VPC roles to service identities.

Host project

You can enable Shared VPC Host at the project level and manage project service association independently.

module "project" {
  source          = "./fabric/modules/project"
  name            = "project-example"
  shared_vpc_host_config = {
    enabled = true
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=2

Service project

module "project" {
  source          = "./fabric/modules/project"
  name            = "project-example"
  shared_vpc_service_config = {
    attach               = true
    host_project         = "my-host-project"
    service_identity_iam = {
      "roles/compute.networkUser"            = [
        "cloudservices", "container-engine"
      ]
      "roles/vpcaccess.user"                 = [
        "cloudrun"
      ]
      "roles/container.hostServiceAgentUser" = [
        "container-engine"
      ]
    }
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=6

Organization policies

module "project" {
  source          = "./fabric/modules/project"
  billing_account = "123456-123456-123456"
  name            = "project-example"
  parent          = "folders/1234567890"
  prefix          = "foo"
  services        = [
    "container.googleapis.com",
    "stackdriver.googleapis.com"
  ]
  policy_boolean = {
    "constraints/compute.disableGuestAttributesAccess" = true
    "constraints/compute.skipDefaultNetworkCreation" = true
  }
  policy_list = {
    "constraints/compute.trustedImageProjects" = {
      inherit_from_parent = null
      suggested_value = null
      status = true
      values = ["projects/my-project"]
    }
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=6

Logging Sinks

module "gcs" {
  source        = "./fabric/modules/gcs"
  project_id    = var.project_id
  name          = "gcs_sink"
  force_destroy = true
}

module "dataset" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/bigquery-dataset"
  project_id = var.project_id
  id         = "bq_sink"
}

module "pubsub" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/pubsub"
  project_id = var.project_id
  name       = "pubsub_sink"
}

module "bucket" {
  source      = "./fabric/modules/logging-bucket"
  parent_type = "project"
  parent      = "my-project"
  id          = "bucket"
}

module "project-host" {
  source          = "./fabric/modules/project"
  name            = "my-project"
  billing_account = "123456-123456-123456"
  parent          = "folders/1234567890"
  logging_sinks = {
    warnings = {
      type          = "storage"
      destination   = module.gcs.id
      filter        = "severity=WARNING"
      iam           = false
      unique_writer = false
      exclusions    = {}
    }
    info = {
      type          = "bigquery"
      destination   = module.dataset.id
      filter        = "severity=INFO"
      iam           = false
      unique_writer = false
      exclusions    = {}
    }
    notice = {
      type          = "pubsub"
      destination   = module.pubsub.id
      filter        = "severity=NOTICE"
      iam           = true
      unique_writer = false
      exclusions    = {}
    }
    debug = {
      type          = "logging"
      destination   = module.bucket.id
      filter        = "severity=DEBUG"
      iam           = true
      unique_writer = false
      exclusions = {
        no-compute = "logName:compute"
      }
    }
  }
  logging_exclusions = {
    no-gce-instances = "resource.type=gce_instance"
  }
}

Cloud KMS encryption keys

The module offers a simple, centralized way to assign roles/cloudkms.cryptoKeyEncrypterDecrypter to service identities.

module "project" {
  source          = "./fabric/modules/project"
  name            = "my-project"
  billing_account = "123456-123456-123456"
  prefix          = "foo"
  services = [
    "compute.googleapis.com",
    "storage.googleapis.com"
  ]
  service_encryption_key_ids = {
    compute = [
      "projects/kms-central-prj/locations/europe-west3/keyRings/my-keyring/cryptoKeys/europe3-gce",
      "projects/kms-central-prj/locations/europe-west4/keyRings/my-keyring/cryptoKeys/europe4-gce"
    ]
    storage = [
      "projects/kms-central-prj/locations/europe/keyRings/my-keyring/cryptoKeys/europe-gcs"
    ]
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=7

Tags

Refer to the Creating and managing tags documentation for details on usage.

module "org" {
  source          = "./fabric/modules/organization"
  organization_id = var.organization_id
  tags = {
    environment = {
      description  = "Environment specification."
      iam          = null
      values = {
        dev  = null
        prod = null
      }
    }
  }
}

module "project" {
  source = "./fabric/modules/project"
  name   = "test-project"
  tag_bindings = {
    env-prod = module.org.tag_values["environment/prod"].id
    foo      = "tagValues/12345678"
  }
}
# tftest modules=2 resources=6

Outputs

Most of this module's outputs depend on its resources, to allow Terraform to compute all dependencies required for the project to be correctly configured. This allows you to reference outputs like project_id in other modules or resources without having to worry about setting depends_on blocks manually.

One non-obvious output is service_accounts, which offers a simple way to discover service identities and default service accounts, and guarantees that service identities that require an API call to trigger creation (like GCS or BigQuery) exist before use.

module "project" {
  source   = "./fabric/modules/project"
  name     = "project-example"
  services = [
    "compute.googleapis.com"
  ]
}

output "compute_robot" {
  value = module.project.service_accounts.robots.compute
}
