Hi everyone! If you, like me, work a lot with Terraform (and Infrastructure as Code in general) and GCP, you’ll probably find this collection of publicly available modules quite useful. I’m proud to say that I’ve contributed to many of them. In this post, you’ll find a collection of links to the modules developed at the University of Cambridge along with a brief description for each module.

GCP Cloud Run app

Link: https://gitlab.developers.cam.ac.uk/uis/devops/infra/terraform/gcp-cloud-run-app

What is this: This module manages the deployment of containerised applications on Cloud Run.

Quick example (check the project for more):

module "webapp" {
  source  = "gitlab.developers.cam.ac.uk/uis/gcp-cloud-run-app/devops"
  version = "~> 9.0"

  region  = "europe-west2"
  project = "example-project-id-1234"

  containers = {
    webapp = {
      image = "us-docker.pkg.dev/cloudrun/container/hello"
    }
  }
}

GCP Minimal Site Monitoring

Link: https://gitlab.developers.cam.ac.uk/uis/devops/infra/terraform/gcp-site-monitoring

What is this: This module provisions basic monitoring for a website.

Quick example (check the project for more):

module "monitoring" {
  source  = "gitlab.developers.cam.ac.uk/uis/gcp-site-monitoring/devops"
  version = "~> 4.0"

  host                        = "www.example.com"
  alert_notification_channels = ["projects/[PROJECT_ID]/notificationChannels/[CHANNEL_ID]"]
}

Google Cloud Secrets Manager

Link: https://gitlab.developers.cam.ac.uk/uis/devops/infra/terraform/gcp-secret-manager

What is this: This module will create a Google Secret Manager secret and associated secret version with a passed content.

Quich example (check the project for more):

module "secret" {
  source  = "gitlab.developers.cam.ac.uk/uis/gcp-secret-manager/devops"
  version = "~> 5.0"

  project   = "some-project-id"
  region    = "europe-west2"
  secret_id = "test-secret"
}

And there’s more! Worth to mention GKE Cluster and GCP Scheduled Script at the very least.

The full list you can find here. I use these modules actively in my daily work, and they continue to improve over time. I hope you’ll find them useful as well.

That’s all for now. Take care!
