Terraform Google Cloud NAT Module

This module handles opinionated Google Cloud Platform Cloud NAT creation and configuration.

Compatibility

This module is meant for use with Terraform 0.12. If you haven't upgraded and need a Terraform 0.11.x-compatible version of this module, the last released version intended for Terraform 0.11.x is 0.1.0.

Usage

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

module "cloud-nat" {
  source     = "terraform-google-modules/cloud-nat/google"
  project_id = "${var.project_id}"
  region     = "${var.region}"
  router     = "${google_compute_router.router.name}"
}

Then perform the following commands on the root folder:

• terraform init to get the plugins
• terraform plan to see the infrastructure plan
• terraform apply to apply the infrastructure build
• terraform destroy to destroy the built infrastructure

Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Default	Required
create_router	Create router instead of using an existing one, uses 'router' variable for new resource name.	string	"false"	no
icmp_idle_timeout_sec	Timeout (in seconds) for ICMP connections. Defaults to 30s if not set. Changing this forces a new NAT to be created.	string	"30"	no
min_ports_per_vm	Minimum number of ports allocated to a VM from this NAT config. Defaults to 64 if not set. Changing this forces a new NAT to be created.	string	"64"	no
name	Defaults to 'cloud-nat-RANDOM_SUFFIX'. Changing this forces a new NAT to be created.	string	""	no
nat_ip_allocate_option	Value inferred based on nat_ips. If present set to MANUAL_ONLY, otherwise AUTO_ONLY.	string	"false"	no
nat_ips	List of self_links of external IPs. Changing this forces a new NAT to be created.	list(string)	<list>	no
network	VPN name, only if router is not passed in and is created by the module.	string	""	no
project_id	The project ID to deploy to	string	n/a	yes
region	The region to deploy to	string	n/a	yes
router	The name of the router in which this NAT will be configured. Changing this forces a new NAT to be created.	string	n/a	yes
router_asn	Router ASN, only if router is not passed in and is created by the module.	string	"64514"	no
source_subnetwork_ip_ranges_to_nat	Defaults to ALL_SUBNETWORKS_ALL_IP_RANGES. How NAT should be configured per Subnetwork. Valid values include: ALL_SUBNETWORKS_ALL_IP_RANGES, ALL_SUBNETWORKS_ALL_PRIMARY_IP_RANGES, LIST_OF_SUBNETWORKS. Changing this forces a new NAT to be created.	string	"ALL_SUBNETWORKS_ALL_IP_RANGES"	no
subnetworks		object	<list>	no
tcp_established_idle_timeout_sec	Timeout (in seconds) for TCP established connections. Defaults to 1200s if not set. Changing this forces a new NAT to be created.	string	"1200"	no
tcp_transitory_idle_timeout_sec	Timeout (in seconds) for TCP transitory connections. Defaults to 30s if not set. Changing this forces a new NAT to be created.	string	"30"	no
udp_idle_timeout_sec	Timeout (in seconds) for UDP connections. Defaults to 30s if not set. Changing this forces a new NAT to be created.	string	"30"	no

Outputs

Name	Description
name	Name of the Cloud NAT
nat_ip_allocate_option	NAT IP allocation mode
region	Cloud NAT region
router_name	Cloud NAT router name

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 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.

Terraform plugins

• Terraform 0.12.x
• terraform-provider-google plugin v2.7.0

Configure a Service Account

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

• roles/compute.networkAdmin

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
