Documentation

gcp-ha-vpn

A 99.99%-SLA HA VPN gateway pair with BGP-dynamic routing — connect a GCP VPC to on-prem, AWS or Azure (peer_type = "external"), or to a second GCP VPC (peer_type = "gcp"). One module call builds the HA VPN gateway (two interfaces, two Google-assigned external IPs), a Cloud Router for BGP, the peer gateway, the redundant tunnels, the Cloud Router interfaces and the BGP sessions — with the BGP wiring (the buyer's main pain point) made explicit and validated. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), Google provider >= 7.0, < 8.0.

Design & secure defaults

  • HA topology by construction. The HA VPN gateway always exposes two interfaces; the tunnels map is intended to carry two tunnels (one per interface) so a single tunnel or interface failure does not drop the connection — the requirement for the 99.99% SLA.
  • BGP-dynamic routing. A Cloud Router runs BGP on the Google side. The local ASN is validated to be a private RFC6996 ASN. Per-session advertised_route_priority (MED) lets you make one tunnel active and one standby.
  • No BFD, by API design — GCP rejects BFD on VPN tunnel interfaces (BFD cannot be enabled on VPN Tunnel interfaces), so this module exposes no BFD knob; failover relies on BGP keepalives across the HA gateway pair.
  • IKEv2 only by default (ike_version = 2).
  • Secrets stay out of the topology. Pre-shared keys live in a separate tunnel_shared_secrets map marked sensitive; the non-sensitive tunnels map drives for_each, and secrets are looked up by key (Terraform cannot iterate a sensitive collection). Nothing is hardcoded.
  • Cross-field invariants enforced with precondition: an external peer requires a peer_external_gateway_interface on every tunnel; a GCP peer requires peer_gcp_gateway.

This module describes the Google side plus the peer-gateway object. On the remote side (on-prem / AWS / Azure, or the second GCP module) you configure the mirror-image tunnels, ASNs and link-local /30s.

gcp-network-connectivity-center

A hub with no spokes connects nothing; a VPC spoke advertises every subnet to every other spoke unless told otherwise, which is how a sandbox learns the production database range; and site-to-site data transfer routes branches through Google at its rates. Spokes come with the hub, each VPC spoke narrows its exports or says why not, and branch transit is off unless accepted.

gcp-private-service-connect

ACCEPT_AUTOMATIC admits any project on Google Cloud that knows the attachment URI, which is not a secret and appears in logs. Manual by default with a per-consumer connection limit; an empty accept list is refused too. PROXY protocol is on so backends see the consumer rather than the NAT range, removed consumers are disconnected, and the NAT subnet is created with the attachment.

gcp-cloud-nat

A regional Cloud Router and Cloud NAT gateway giving private, external-IP-less instances outbound internet access, with auto-allocated NAT IPs, all-subnet coverage, and logging on by default.

Production VPC with subnets, secondary ranges, firewall rules, Cloud Router and Cloud NAT - the network base every GCP workload sits on.

gcp-interconnect

An interconnect is a private path, not a private conversation: traffic crosses the colocation facility and the partner in clear unless the attachment carries HA VPN. One attachment is no SLA, and a partner attachment is created disabled until somebody flips it. A redundant pair across two edge availability domains, IPsec by default with clear text accepted by name, and enabled unless told.

gcp-shared-vpc

Attaching a service project is the visible half: its instances land in a shared subnet only when the creating principal holds networkUser on that subnet, and for GKE, Cloud Run or Dataflow that principal is the service agent, not a person. Takes the per-subnet grants with the attachments, refuses a project attached with none, and adds the host-level grant GKE needs.
