HOWTO; Connect to a private GKE cluster using a site-to-site VPN between a GCP VPC...
4 projects | dev.to | 12 Feb 2022

We use Terraform to provision all GCP resources. Google provides opinionated Terraform modules to manage GCP resources here. Our infra leverages a shared VPC and we use the project factory module to create the host project and the service projects. The VPN will be provisioned in the host project that owns the VPC. Our GKE clusters are created with the private cluster terraform module.
