GCP Secure Web Infrastructure (Terraform)

An automated Terraform project to deploy a secure, debian web server on Google Cloud Platform.

Architecture

• VPC & Subnet: Custom-mode VPC with a dedicated regional subnetwork (10.0.1.0/24).
• Compute: e2-micro instance running Debian 11.
• Security: - Firewall HTTP: Open to the world (Port 80) for web traffic.
  • Firewall SSH: Restricted to a specific admin IP (Port 22).

Getting Started

Prerequisites

1. Terraform installed.
2. Google Cloud SDK (gcloud) installed and authenticated.
3. A GCP Project ID.

Setup

1. Clone this repository.
2. Create a terraform.tfvars file (this file is git-ignored for security):

   project_id  = "your-gcp-project-id"
   my_home_ip  = "x.x.x.x" # your public IP

3. (Optional) If you want to change the location, edit the default values in variables.tf:

        gcp region (Default: us-east4)
        gcp zone (Default: us-east4-a)
