Google Cloud Example

A complete example of deploying Google Cloud infrastructure using tfts.

This example demonstrates how to create a basic Google Cloud (GCP) infrastructure including a VPC network, a firewall rule, and a compute instance. It also shows how to configure a GCS backend for state management.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the Google provider generated in your project:

npx tfts get

Complete Example

import { App, Stack, GcsBackend } from "tfts";
import { GoogleProvider } from "./.gen/providers/google/provider";
import { ComputeNetwork } from "./.gen/providers/google/compute-network";
import { ComputeFirewall } from "./.gen/providers/google/compute-firewall";
import { ComputeInstance } from "./.gen/providers/google/compute-instance";

class MyGcpStack extends Stack {
  constructor(scope: App, id: string) {
    super(scope, id);

    const project = "my-gcp-project-id";
    const region = "us-central1";

    // Configure the Google Provider
    new GoogleProvider(this, "google", {
      project: project,
      region: region,
    });

    // Configure GCS Backend
    new GcsBackend(this, {
      bucket: "my-terraform-state-bucket",
      prefix: "terraform/state",
    });

    // Create a VPC Network
    const network = new ComputeNetwork(this, "main-network", {
      name: "main-network",
      autoCreateSubnetworks: true,
    });

    // Create a Firewall Rule
    new ComputeFirewall(this, "allow-http", {
      name: "allow-http",
      network: network.name,
      allow: [
        {
          protocol: "tcp",
          ports: ["80"],
        },
      ],
      sourceRanges: ["0.0.0.0/0"],
    });

    // Create a Compute Instance
    new ComputeInstance(this, "web-instance", {
      name: "web-instance",
      machineType: "f1-micro",
      zone: "us-central1-a",
      bootDisk: {
        initializeParams: {
          image: "debian-cloud/debian-11",
        },
      },
      networkInterface: [
        {
          network: network.id,
          accessConfig: [{}], // Assigns an ephemeral public IP
        },
      ],
    });
  }
}

const app = new App();
new MyGcpStack(app, "gcp-example");
app.synth();

Key Concepts

• Provider Configuration: The GoogleProvider requires a project ID and a default region.
• Backend Configuration: GcsBackend stores the state in a Google Cloud Storage bucket.
• Network Interface: In GCP, the networkInterface block is used to connect the instance to a VPC. Including an empty accessConfig block ensures the instance gets a public IP address.
• Boot Disk: The bootDisk property defines the operating system image and disk size for the instance.
