Code to spin up GCP components and other things for apps

Core Pipeline

What is this?

This repo contains configuration for:

• Bootstraping a GCP Org from zero to hero - bootstrap
• GCP ORG level stuff (like policies, billing, IAM, etc)
• Configuration for Apps - definitions
• Code to make the configuration happen 🚀 - pipeline

What's an App?

An application is a logical construct that makes sense from a developer point of view. It packages things such as:

• what containers am I running?
• where is the source code for such container images?
• what environments do I need?
• what branch do I want to deploy to each environment?
• do I need to expose a port on HTTPS with a domain name and certificate?
• what GCP resources do I need?

Anatomy of an App

application
 ├── app level config
 └── components
      ├── component level config
      └── containers
           └─ container level config

Cross-tool logical relationship

Logical component	Google Cloud	Kubernetes	GitHub	ArgoCD	Traffic
App	Folder	Namespace	Organization	Project	domain name
Environment	Project	Cluster	Branch		?
Component	Project		Repository	Application	domain prefix
Container		Manifests	Subfolder		path

Dependencies

• GCP Organization must be created (see bootstrap)
• GitHub Organizations created for each App (cannot create GitHub Organizations programatically)
• Create GCP Service Account with enough privileges to deploy stuff at the org level
• Configure GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS pointing at 👆🏼
• Pulumi installed and logged in
• GitHub CLI installed and logged in

Running

WORK IN PROGRESS

There will be different scripts for creating the GitHub repos, ArgoCD apps and GCP stuff.
