GCP - Baseline configuration

Identity and Access Management (IAM)

• Owner role granted to principal <project name>@g-groups.wisc.edu
  • This grants the owner of the account and anyone else in this Google Group owner access to the project
• Owner role granted to principal uw-provisioning service account so we can continue to manage accounts via Terraform, if needed

Security

• Security Command Center is enabled at the organization level which sends critical and high severity findings to the Cybersecurity Operations Center (CSOC)
  • Security Command Center is centrally funded and does not incur any extra cost to GCP projects
  • You can view findings in your project by selecting Security in the left navigation bar or searching security in the top search bar

Budget alerts

• Budget alerts are configured based on the value submitted in the account request form. Budget alerts are sent to <project name>@g-groups.wisc.edu so that everyone in the group will receive the notification

Networking

• Default GCP compute network is created with subnets in multiple regions
• Firewall is applied to default network
  • Allows ports icmp, ssh, rdp from campus IP ranges

Billing

• If no resources are created in a GCP project after handover, it's monthly cost should be ~$0.00
• Each GCP project is placed in the appropriate billing account based on grant source or if you have credits from Google 
• Billing back is done monthly. Customers receive charges one month in arrears. Charges are billed to your DoIT Billing Customer Id Number
