Terraform Kubernetes Engine Module

This module handles opinionated Google Cloud Platform Kubernetes Engine cluster creation and configuration with Node Pools, IP MASQ, Network Policy, etc. The resources/services/activations/deletions that this module will create/trigger are:

  • Create a GKE cluster with the provided addons
  • Create GKE Node Pool(s) with provided configuration and attach to cluster
  • Replace the default kube-dns configmap if stub_domains are provided
  • Activate network policy if network_policy is true
  • Add ip-masq-agent configmap with provided non_masquerade_cidrs if configure_ip_masq is true

Sub modules are provided for creating private clusters, beta private clusters, and beta public clusters as well. Beta sub modules allow for the use of various GKE beta features. See the modules directory for the various sub modules.

Compatibility

This module is meant for use with Terraform 0.13+ and tested using Terraform 1.0+. If you find incompatibilities using Terraform >=0.13, please open an issue.

If you haven't upgraded and need a Terraform 0.12.x-compatible version of this module, the last released version intended for Terraform 0.12.x is 12.3.0.

Usage

There are multiple examples included in the examples folder but simple usage is as follows:

Requirements

Before this module can be used on a project, you must ensure that the following pre-requisites are fulfilled:

  1. Terraform and kubectl are installed on the machine where Terraform is executed.
  2. The Service Account you execute the module with has the right permissions.
  3. The Compute Engine and Kubernetes Engine APIs are active on the project you will launch the cluster in.
  4. If you are using a Shared VPC, the APIs must also be activated on the Shared VPC host project and your service account needs the proper permissions there.

The project factory can be used to provision projects with the correct APIs active and the necessary Shared VPC connections.

Software Dependencies

Kubectl

Terraform and Plugins

gcloud

Some submodules use the terraform-google-gcloud module. By default, this module assumes you already have gcloud installed in your $PATH. See the module documentation for more information.

Configure a Service Account

In order to execute this module you must have a Service Account with the following project roles:

  • roles/compute.viewer
  • roles/compute.securityAdmin (only required if add_cluster_firewall_rules is set to true)
  • roles/container.clusterAdmin
  • roles/container.developer
  • roles/iam.serviceAccountAdmin
  • roles/iam.serviceAccountUser
  • roles/resourcemanager.projectIamAdmin (only required if service_account is set to create)

Additionally, if service_account is set to create and grant_registry_access is requested, the service account requires the following role on the registry_project_ids projects:

  • roles/resourcemanager.projectIamAdmin

Enable APIs

In order to operate with the Service Account you must activate the following APIs on the project where the Service Account was created:

  • Compute Engine API - compute.googleapis.com
  • Kubernetes Engine API - container.googleapis.com
