Documentation
gcp-vpc
Production VPC with subnets, secondary ranges, firewall rules, Cloud Router
and Cloud NAT — the network base every GCP workload sits on. Works with
Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), Google provider >= 7.0, < 8.0.
Secure defaults:
- Custom-mode network (no auto subnets), Private Google Access on per subnet
- VPC flow logs on by default (5-min aggregation, 50% sampling, all metadata)
- No public SSH: baseline rule allows SSH only from Google's IAP range
(
35.235.240.0/20); pair withgcloud compute ssh --tunnel-through-iap - Allow-internal baseline covers secondary ranges, so GKE pod-to-pod works
- Cloud NAT (auto-allocated IPs, error logging) per region — private instances get egress without external IPs
- Firewall rule logging on by default; every rule must be explicitly allow XOR deny
Requirements
- Terraform or OpenTofu
>= 1.6 hashicorp/google>= 7.0, < 8.0
Notes for integrators:
subnet_secondary_rangesis shaped to feed straight into GKE (cluster_secondary_range_name/services_secondary_range_name).- Cloud NAT here uses
AUTO_ONLYIP allocation and NATs all subnet ranges in the region; bring static NAT IPs in a wrapper if you need allowlisting. - If you set
delete_default_routes_on_create = true, nothing in the VPC can reach the internet (even via NAT) until you add a default route back.

Related modules
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.
gcp-ha-vpn
99.99% SLA HA VPN gateway pair with BGP-dynamic routing - GCP-to-on-prem or GCP-to-AWS/Azure.
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.
