Kubernetes Bootstrap

Deploy a platform on Google Cloud by setting up basic infrastructure using variables.

Features

• IAM
• Separate Network
• Kubernetes Cluster
• Cert Manager SSL certificate generation and management
• TLS GCE Ingress
• HTTP -> HTTPS redirect
• Variable defined name for the infrastructure components
• Variable defined domain names for ingress and certificates
• New Relic and pixie integration
• Cloudflare DNS A record create and update for static ingress IP

TODO

• Refactor using module composition and Dependency Inversion
• Test on a new GCP project
• Automatic dns record (set A record to new static IP)
• Variables for Cluster and Node Pool configurations machine type, HPA, etc.
• Add monitoring (new relic)
• CloudSQL (Postgres, MySQL)
• Caching (Redis, MemoryStore)
• Use gitops instead of helm charts - maybe for new relic
• ...

Notes

• You have to update your ingress_hosts A records in order to get traffic to your site. And to generate the SSL certificate.
• You may need to modify the certmanager module to support your particular certificate needs. Current implementation uses dns01 challenge solver with cloudflare.
• There is a bug with the newrelic_cloud_gcp_link_account resource newrelic/terraform-provider-newrelic#2733

Usage

• Create GCP project
• Create terraform admin service account
• Download SA credentials JSON
• Set variables (terraform.tfvars for example)
• terraform init
• terraform apply
