Overview

Automated GCE image build pipeline with Google Cloud Build triggers using Terraform and Packer

There are two source repos to be hosted on Google Cloud Repository:

• Packer image builder in repos/packer to allow running packer in cloud build
• The GCE image builder in repos/machine_image which uses packer

The terraform configs will also creates the Google Cloud project as well

To Run

Needs an organization level account (google workspace account) and works with the following roles assigned to the account terraform uses (gcloud auth application-default login)

• roles/billing.creator
• roles/resourcemanager.organizationAdmin
• roles/resourcemanager.projectCreator
• roles/storage.admin

You may need to run terraform apply twice, since I think a service acount gets created on first run for a project

You will get the output URLs for the two google source repositories. These are labeled:

• packer_build_repo
• machine_image_repo

Then cd into repos/packer/ and run git add remote google <packer_build_repo> and push

A build should be triggered as indicated by gcloud builds list

Once thats done go into repos/machine_image and run git add remote google <machine_image_repo and push

This should trigger machine image build which you can use in a GCE instance (heres a terraform config for GCE server you can use)
