  2. Deploying GCP Filestore

How do I deploy GCP Cloud Filestore applications requiring file storage?

In this guide, we’ll walk through how to deploy GCP Cloud Filestore to set up a network file system for use in your cloud applications. We’ll cover the main components needed to deploy a Cloud Filestore instance, including the network resources and the instance itself.

Explanation of Resources

  1. Google Provider Configuration: This is needed to interact with Google Cloud resources.
  2. Google Compute Network: This creates a network for the Filestore instance.
  3. Google Compute Subnetwork: This defines a subnetwork within the created network.
  4. Google Filestore Instance: This resource creates the actual Filestore instance, specifying the tier, capacity, network configuration, and file share details.
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as gcp from "@pulumi/gcp";

// Define a network
const filestoreNetwork = new gcp.compute.Network("filestore_network", {
    name: "filestore-network",
    autoCreateSubnetworks: false,
});
// Define a subnetwork
const filestoreSubnetwork = new gcp.compute.Subnetwork("filestore_subnetwork", {
    name: "filestore-subnetwork",
    ipCidrRange: "10.0.0.0/16",
    region: "us-central1",
    network: filestoreNetwork.id,
});
// Create a GCP Filestore instance
const filestoreInstance = new gcp.filestore.Instance("filestore_instance", {
    name: "my-filestore",
    tier: "STANDARD",
    fileShares: {
        name: "my-share",
        capacityGb: 1024,
    },
    networks: [{
        network: filestoreNetwork.id,
        modes: ["MODE_IPV4"],
        reservedIpRange: "10.0.0.0/29",
    }],
});
export const filestoreInstanceName = filestoreInstance.name;
export const filestoreInstanceIpAddress = filestoreInstance.networks.apply(networks => networks[0].ipAddresses?.[0]);

Summary

We’ve created a configuration to deploy a Cloud Filestore instance on GCP. This configuration includes setting up a custom VPC network and subnetwork, then provisioning a Filestore instance within that network. We also output the Filestore instance name and its IP address for easy reference.
