Terraform Network Module

This module makes it easy to set up a new VPC Network in GCP by defining your network and subnet ranges in a concise syntax.

It supports creating:

• A Google Virtual Private Network (VPC)
• Subnets within the VPC
• Secondary ranges for the subnets (if applicable)
• routes
• firewall rules

Sub modules are provided for creating individual vpc, subnets, routes, firewall rules, and firewall policies. See the modules directory for the various sub modules usage.

• vpc
• subnet
• route
• firewall rules
• hierarchical firewall policy
• network firewall policy
• serverless vpc access connector
• hierarchical firewall policy

Compatibility

This module is meant for use with Terraform 1.3+ and tested using Terraform 1.4+. If you find incompatibilities using Terraform >=1.3, please open an issue.

Usage

You can go to the examples folder, however the usage of the module could be like this in your own main.tf file:

module "vpc" {
    source  = "terraform-google-modules/network/google"
    version = "~> 10.0"

    project_id   = "<PROJECT ID>"
    network_name = "example-vpc"
    routing_mode = "GLOBAL"

    subnets = [
        {
            subnet_name           = "subnet-01"
            subnet_ip             = "10.10.10.0/24"
            subnet_region         = "us-west1"
        },
        {
            subnet_name           = "subnet-02"
            subnet_ip             = "10.10.20.0/24"
            subnet_region         = "us-west1"
            subnet_private_access = "true"
            subnet_flow_logs      = "true"
            description           = "This subnet has a description"
        },
        {
            subnet_name               = "subnet-03"
            subnet_ip                 = "10.10.30.0/24"

            subnet_flow_logs          = "true"
            subnet_flow_logs_interval = "INTERVAL_10_MIN"
            subnet_flow_logs_sampling = 0.7
            subnet_flow_logs_metadata = "INCLUDE_ALL_METADATA"
        }
    ]

    secondary_ranges = {
        subnet-01 = [
            {
                range_name    = "subnet-01-secondary-01"
                ip_cidr_range = "192.168.64.0/24"
            },
        ]

        subnet-02 = []
    }

    routes = [
        {
            name                   = "egress-internet"
            description            = "route through IGW to access internet"
            destination_range      = "0.0.0.0/0"
            tags                   = "egress-inet"
            next_hop_internet      = "true"
        },
        {
            name                   = "app-proxy"
            description            = "route through proxy to reach app"
            destination_range      = "10.50.10.0/24"
            tags                   = "app-proxy"
            next_hop_instance      = "app-proxy-instance"
            next_hop_instance_zone = "us-west1-a"
        },
    ]
}

Then perform the following commands on the root folder:

• terraform init to get the plugins
• terraform plan to see the infrastructure plan
• terraform apply to apply the infrastructure build
• terraform destroy to destroy the built infrastructure
