GCP Deployment Guide

Here you'll get instructions and learn best practices for deploying Highflame within your Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environment.

Single Region Deployment

Single region deployment in Google Cloud Platform consolidates all infrastructure components within one chosen region.

Deployment Environment Setup

Step 1: Define Target Regions

Select a region from Google Cloud Platform regions, for example:

• Region: us-east1

Ensure all required GCP services and features are supported in this region.

Step 2: Prepare Scripts for Resource Creation

Prepare custom IaC scripts to provision required infrastructure components.

Step 3: Provision Core Resources

Provision the following infrastructure components in the selected Region

• Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)

• Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

• Load Balancing (HTTP(S) Load Balancer)

• Memorystore (Redis)

• Cloud SQL

Step 4: Validate Configuration Parity

Ensure all configuration parameters work across the selected region, including:

• GKE versions and node pool sizing

• Subnet CIDR ranges

• Firewall rules and routing

• Load balancer backend configuration

• Database flags and instance tiers

Step 5: Tag and Document Resources

• Apply consistent tagging for auditability and environment identification.

• Document region-specific endpoints and failover readiness.
