GCP Compute Network

A Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Compute Network—commonly called a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network—provides the fundamental isolation and IP address space in which all other networking resources (subnetworks, routes, firewall rules, VPNs, etc.) are created. It is a global resource that spans all regions in a project, allowing workloads to communicate securely inside Google’s backbone and to the internet where required. For a full description see the official documentation: https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/vpc

Terrafrom Mappings:

  • google_compute_network.name

Supported Methods​

  • GET: Get a gcp-compute-network by its "name"
  • LIST: List all gcp-compute-network
  • SEARCH

gcp-compute-network​

A Compute Network can be peered with, or shared to, another Compute Network. Overmind records these peer or shared-VPC relationships by linking one gcp-compute-network item to the other(s).

gcp-compute-subnetwork​

Every subnetwork is created inside exactly one VPC network. Overmind therefore links each gcp-compute-subnetwork back to its parent gcp-compute-network, and conversely shows the network’s collection of subnetworks.
