Clusters should have IP aliasing enabled
Default Severity: low
Explanation
IP aliasing allows the reuse of public IPs internally, removing the need for a NAT gateway.
Possible Impact
Nodes need a NAT gateway to access local services
Suggested Resolution
Enable IP aliasing
Insecure Example
The following example will fail the google-gke-enable-ip-aliasing check.
resource "google_service_account" "default" {
account_id = "service-account-id"
display_name = "Service Account"
}
resource "google_container_cluster" "bad_example" {
name = "my-gke-cluster"
location = "us-central1"
# We can't create a cluster with no node pool defined, but we want to only use
# separately managed node pools. So we create the smallest possible default
# node pool and immediately delete it.
remove_default_node_pool = true
initial_node_count = 1
}
resource "google_container_node_pool" "primary_preemptible_nodes" {
name = "my-node-pool"
location = "us-central1"
cluster = google_container_cluster.primary.name
node_count = 1
node_config {
preemptible = true
machine_type = "e2-medium"
# Google recommends custom service accounts that have cloud-platform scope and permissions granted via IAM Roles.
service_account = google_service_account.default.email
oauth_scopes = [
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"
]
}
}
Secure Example
The following example will pass the google-gke-enable-ip-aliasing check.
resource "google_service_account" "default" {
account_id = "service-account-id"
display_name = "Service Account"
}
resource "google_container_cluster" "good_example" {
name = "my-gke-cluster"
location = "us-central1"
# We can't create a cluster with no node pool defined, but we want to only use
