Google Cloud Resource Deployer

Authenticate against the GCP API:

gcloud auth login
gcloud auth application-default login

# only execute non-state-changing commands (i.e: API queries)
gclouder -c config.yaml --dry-run

# apply the config
gclouder -c config.yaml

# apply the config, also outputting the commands that are run and their output
gclouder -c config.yaml --debug

# apply the config and include stack trace on error
gclouder -c config.yaml --trace

Requires a modern version of Ruby (>= 2.4), you can use rbenv or brew to install one, e.g:

git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
rbenv install 2.4.0
rbenv global 2.4.0 # or `rbenv local 2.4.0` in gclouder dir

Pick one of the following two methods.

Normal installation:

gem install gclouder

To install dependencies and run gclouder from source:

gem install bundler
bundle install
./bin/gclouder --help

Test coverage is currently limited to libraries which are peripheral to the core functionality of this app, i.e: tests only exist for methods which can be independently tested of the GCP API.

There are plans to add integration tests at a later date.

To run the tests use one of the following:

Run once:

rake

To monitor changes to project files during development:

rake guard

Each resource is designed to do the following:

• validation of local configuration by:

  • check parameters are valid arguments
  • check required parameters are set
  • check types are correct

• create remote instances which are defined locally

• check remote instance dont differs from local instance definitions

• remove instances which are no longer defined locally yet exist remotely

• Google Deployment Manager is unable to manipulate resources not managed by itself
• It's not possible to resize things like clusters without using gcloud(1)
• Not all resources are supported by Google Deployment Manager
• Greater control over the magic that happens between our resource definitions and the remote resources
• Inter-project resources

To build and install a gem run:

rake build
gem install pkg/gclouder-<version>.gem

To perform a release

# adjust version in lib/gclouder/version.rb then run:
rake release
