• HCLS specific

Use Cases

• the uc/customer-app drives the lz architecture subset. In this case we will start with 1 or more serverless use cases around profile 3.
• docai, biometric telemetry, GPS tracking, event stream, live video ML/AI intelligence

Serverless Reference Architecture

Requirements: LZ workload Canary for Profile 3

• P3 specific - we run a selected subset of all packages (armor yes, IDS/NGFW perimeter and extensive hub/spoke - no) for example

• a VPC Service Control egress perimeter is involved

• • 2+ microservices/containers - to exercise ingress/egress tracking

• VPC Serverless Connector

• No NGFW for east-west traffic

• Armor attached to an LB (off the GFE)

• SWP - Secure Web Proxy

• External Cloud Load Balancer - https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/https

• Artifact Registry and cloud build pipelines will work with the vpc-sc

• hierarchical firewall policies at the 5 org/folder/vpc/region levels

• the ALB in cloud run is not the Global LB

• cloud run will use either a SQL proxy or vpc connector for private IP based cloud SQL connections

• Ideally Guardrails V2 over V1

Verify VPC-SC across 2 service projects in a shared VPC

Goal/Requirements

• prevent exfiltration of data from a cloud storage bucket or bigquery instance in two of the service projects hosting both of these services

Testing

• source-svc can see target-svc selected services and vice versa

• outside-svc - cannot see anything

• outside-host (separate host project and VPC) - cannot see anything

• follow slide 31 of the network-patterns deck https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13sjT2tJ4yLIYGRREE3wBrylB1OvcEMpKdquVuJB_nX4/edit?resourcekey=0-N3DruQaiutFvZ98HTT7-vQ#slide=id.g1154b3b950f_2_3767

• https://cloud.google.com/vpc-service-controls/docs/set-up-service-perimeter

VPC Service control zone must include both service projects Inventory

• canary-host host project
• canary-source-svc project
• canary-target-svc project
• vm-docker-source
• vm-docker-target

• enable compute api on all 3 projects In setup shared VPC - enable host on canary-host-ol -but first make a custom VPC and delete the default VPC

share 2 svc projects

create vpc service control access policy at the org level

grant uses to the shared subnets

add projects to the perimeter

add resources to the perimeter to protect

Create VMs in subnets

create a bucket with files to be accessed both inside and outside the perimeter in the source-svc project

Test access from ext-svc before/after perimeter is set

check VM access to bucket inside future perimeter

set VPC service perimeter around the bucket specific to the source service project

add 2 projects to the perimeter

add cloud storage to the perimeter

checking - the reverse of what I expected - source is blocked, ext is not

michael@source-svc:~$ gsutil ls gs://canary-source-svc-ol/

set projects in VPC-SC

delete perimeter but keep default policy - to reset

recreate perimeter

VPC-SC: There are additional ingress and VPC owning project inclusion attributes to VPC Service Control - Perimeters in the policy such as per vpc/perimeter. Triaging VPC-SC config using a gs bucket in the notes starting at https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/pubsec-declarative-toolkit/issues/418#issuecomment-1688070495

Missing the ingress rule and we also need the perimeter all the way around the host project as well - or else we use bridges

after the ingress rule we have the proper internal gsutil usage and blocked external gsutil usage
