Julio Castillo 2eaa0d5e27 Add support for dynamic tags (#3897)
* Allow creation of dynamic tags

* Extend project factory and related modules to support dynamic values

* Extend folder and organization modules

* project and organization readme

* Simplify dynamic tag support and remove unnecessary restrictions

  • Schemas & Validations: Removed the restriction that forbade combining IAM fields with  allowed_values_regex  on tags. Updated validations in  project  and  organization  modules, and
  simplified all relevant JSON schemas.
  • Module Tag Bindings: Simplified the  tag_value  assignment in  folder ,  project ,  gcs ,  bigquery-dataset , and  kms  modules by removing the defensive  can(regex(...))  check and
  calling  templatestring  directly.
  • Outputs: Removed the  tags_dynamic  output from  project  and  organization  modules, as the same information is now available in  tag_keys .
  • Project Factory: Updated  tag_vars_projects  in  projects.tf  to use the native  namespaced_name  attribute and filtered manually for dynamic tags.

* fix(organization, project): fix linting and tests for dynamic tag support

- Align allowed_values_regex and description extraction in _tags_merged
  locals to use lookup() for consistency with other fields.
- Fix spacing in project context variable (alphabetical ordering).
- Update organization tags test to include the new cost_center tag key
  with allowed_values_regex.
- Update project tags test to include the new cost_center tag key and
  reflect the resolved allowed_values_regex on environment.

* refactor(gcs): refine tag bindings and fix context test

- Add _tag_bindings local to pre-resolve context references, enabling
  templatestring to receive a direct map reference (required by Terraform).
- Use var.context.tag_vars instead of the non-existent local.ctx.tag_vars.
- Fix HCL syntax in context.tfvars (escaped inner quotes).
- Update context test inventory to reflect 3 tag bindings including a
  dynamic value resolved via templatestring.

* refactor: align modules with tag binding context pattern

- Add _tag_bindings local + templatestring dance to cloud-run-v2,
  compute-vm, folder, kms modules (bigquery-dataset already had it)
- Exclude tag_vars from local.ctx in cloud-run-v2, compute-vm, folder,
  kms, project modules (bigquery-dataset already had it)
- Add tag_vars to context variable in cloud-run-v2, compute-vm modules
  (others already had it)
- Update all context tests with dynamic tag binding values using
  var.context.tag_vars

* docs: add module-level tftest.yaml test instructions to GEMINI.md

* docs: regenerate READMEs after tag-regex alignment

- Regenerate variable tables in 7 module READMEs to reflect
  line number shifts from prior tag-regex changes
- Add tag_vars exclusion to gcs ctx local
- Fix whitespace alignment in iam-service-account and
  project-factory tag_vars blocks
- Update tftest resource counts for organization and project
- Remove tags_dynamic from organization/project output tables

* fix(project-factory): update test inventory for tag_bindings module split

- Move tag binding address from folder-2 to folder-2-iam in test
  inventory (tag_bindings moved from creation to IAM modules)
- Update module instance count from 34 to 35
- Regenerate README tables after terraform fmt line shifts
- Apply terraform fmt to variables.tf

* refactor(project-factory): remove unnecessary depends_on from folder-iam modules

Folder IAM modules depend on their own folder creation modules, not
on module.projects. The explicit depends_on was leftover from an
earlier design.

* FAST stages

* Address review comments.

- FAST Stages:
  - Added tag_keys to output-files.tf in 0-org-setup to pass org tags via tfvars.
  - Sorted tag_keys and tag_values in output-files.tf.
  - Updated project-factory, networking, and security stages to use tag_keys.
  - Filtered tag_keys for dynamic tags only.
- Modules:
  - Excluded tag_vars from local.ctx in iam-service-account and organization.
  - Simplified tag_value in iam-service-account.
- Tests:
  - Updated test inventories for 0-org-setup and project-factory.

* Fix tf format

* Fix tfdoc

* docs: add ADR for templatestring vars convention and update status of base path ADR

* More tfdoc

* Update schemas

* Use endswith in context loop

* Address review

* Update FAST readmes

* Update last modules

* Terraform fmt

* Revert alloydb

* Fix whitespace

Google Service Account Module

This module allows simplified creation and management of one a service account and its IAM bindings.

Note that outputs have no dependencies on IAM bindings to prevent resource cycles.

Simple Example

module "myproject-default-service-accounts" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/iam-service-account"
  project_id = var.project_id
  name       = "vm-default"
  # authoritative roles granted *on* the service accounts to other identities
  iam = {
    "roles/iam.serviceAccountUser" = ["group:${var.group_email}"]
  }
  # non-authoritative roles granted *to* the service accounts on other resources
  iam_project_roles = {
    "${var.project_id}" = [
      "roles/logging.logWriter",
      "roles/monitoring.metricWriter",
    ]
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=4 inventory=basic.yaml e2e

IAM

IAM is managed via several variables that implement different features and levels of control.

The following variables control IAM bindings where this module's managed service account is the resource, and they conform to the standard interface adopted across all other modules:

  • iam and iam_by_principals configure authoritative bindings that manage individual roles exclusively, and are internally merged
  • iam_bindings configure authoritative bindings with optional support for conditions, and are not internally merged with the previous two variables
  • iam_bindings_additive configure additive bindings via individual role/member pairs with optional support conditions

The authoritative and additive approaches can be used together, provided different roles are managed by each. Some care must also be taken with the iam_by_principals variable to ensure that variable keys are static values, so that Terraform is able to compute the dependency graph. Refer to the project module for examples of the IAM interface.

The following variables control additive IAM bindings on external resources where this module's managed service account is the principal:

  • iam_billing_roles
  • iam_folder_roles
  • iam_organization_roles
  • iam_project_roles
  • iam_sa_roles
  • iam_storage_roles

IAM also supports variable interpolation for both roles and principals and for the foreign resources where the service account is the principal, via the respective attributes in the var.context variable. Basic usage is shown in the example below.

module "service-account-with-tags" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/iam-service-account"
  project_id = var.project_id
  name       = "test-service-account"
  context = {
    folder_ids = {
      test = "folders/1234567890"
    }
  }
  iam_billing_roles = {
    "ABCDE-12345-ABCDE" = [
      "roles/billing.user"
    ]
  }
  iam_folder_roles = {
    "$folder_ids:test" = [
      "roles/resourcemanager.folderAdmin"
    ]
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=3 inventory=iam.yaml

Reusing Existing Service Accounts

Like other modules in this repository, this module allows reusing existing service accounts where only IAM or tag bindings management is needed, via the service_account_reuse variable.

When reusing service accounts, the name variable can be set to the fully fledged service account email. In such cases the project_id variable can be ignored as the project id is derived from the email.

The service_account_reuse.use_data_source flag also allows to skip the data source used to fetch the service account unique id (numeric), which is only used when setting tag bindings. If those are needed while still skipping the data source, populate the additional attributes service_account_reuse.attributes.

module "service-account" {
  source = "./fabric/modules/iam-service-account"
  name   = "test-0@myproject.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
  context = {
    folder_ids = {
      test = "folders/1234567890"
    }
  }
  iam_billing_roles = {
    "ABCDE-12345-ABCDE" = [
      "roles/billing.user"
    ]
  }
  iam_folder_roles = {
    "$folder_ids:test" = [
      "roles/resourcemanager.folderAdmin"
    ]
  }
  service_account_reuse = {
    use_data_source = false
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=2 inventory=reuse-0.yaml

Tag Bindings

Use the tag_bindings variable to attach tags to the service account. Provide project_number to prevent potential permadiffs with the tag binding resource.

module "service-account-with-tags" {
  source         = "./fabric/modules/iam-service-account"
  project_id     = var.project_id
  name           = "test-service-account"
  project_number = var.project_number
  tag_bindings = {
    foo = "tagValues/123456789"
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=2 inventory=tags.yaml
