Purpose

Adds a GCP backing to the provisioner-crossplane module, so a data plane on GKE can build the
existing postgres-crossplane and redis-crossplane Resources as Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL and
Memorystore for Redis. The XRDs, the ResourceTypes and the Resources that use them stay the same,
since the Compositions installed on the data plane decide how each one is built.

Approach

  • gcp/: Compositions that build a PostgresInstance as a Cloud SQL instance and a RedisInstance
    as a Memorystore for Redis instance, both on private IPs in the data plane's VPC network
  • gcp/: the provider setup using GKE Workload Identity, and the data plane's settings
  • The Cloud SQL provider cannot generate a password, so the PostgreSQL Composition generates one the
    first time and copies it back from the Secret on every later reconcile, so it does not change. The
    database and user leave Delete out of their management policies, since Cloud SQL removes both
    with the instance, and otherwise their deletion gets stuck once the instance is gone
  • Memorystore runs with AUTH, without TLS
  • Resource names within the Cloud SQL and Memorystore limits, built the same way as in the Azure and
    AWS backings
  • Render inputs, the GCP README, and GCP in the module and resource READMEs

Verified end to end on GKE 1.36 with OpenChoreo 1.3.1, Crossplane 2.4.2 and provider v3.1.0, from
provisioning to a dependent component connecting to each resource, along with a password change, a
delete and a recreate. The README's install and uninstall steps were also run as written.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added GCP as a backing for PostgreSQL and Redis, with setup and configuration guidance for Cloud SQL and Memorystore.
    • GCP PostgreSQL uses private networking and provides a generated password through a connection secret.
    • GCP Redis supports AUTH, connects to the configured network, and reports connection details when available.
  • Documentation

    • Updated backing and compatibility tables with GCP support, setup requirements, and provider-specific TLS behavior.

- Add a GCP backing that builds a PostgresInstance as a Cloud SQL for
  PostgreSQL instance and a RedisInstance as a Memorystore for Redis
  instance, both on private IPs in the data plane's VPC network
- Authenticate the providers with GKE Workload Identity, with each
  provider's ServiceAccount name fixed so the binding survives upgrades
- Generate the Cloud SQL password in the Composition, since the provider
  cannot, and keep it in the Secret the ResourceType reads
- Leave Delete out of the Cloud SQL database's and user's management
  policies, so their deletion cannot get stuck once the instance is gone
- Run Memorystore with AUTH, without TLS
- Name resources like the other backings, within the Cloud SQL and
  Memorystore limits
- Add the GCP README and render inputs, and list GCP in the module and
  resource READMEs

📝 Walkthrough

Adds GCP as a Crossplane backing for PostgreSQL and Redis. The change includes provider and shared environment configuration, Compositions for Cloud SQL and Memorystore, render fixtures, and setup and compatibility documentation.

Changes: GCP backing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider setup and shared configuration
provisioner-crossplane/gcp/README.md, provisioner-crossplane/gcp/provider.yaml, provisioner-crossplane/gcp/provider-config.yaml, provisioner-crossplane/gcp/environment-config.yaml
Adds GCP SQL and Redis providers configured for Workload Identity, an InjectedIdentity provider configuration, and shared settings for region, network, resource naming, labels, and PostgreSQL username. The guide documents setup, prerequisites, and cleanup.
Cloud SQL PostgreSQL composition
provisioner-crossplane/gcp/postgres-composition.yaml, provisioner-crossplane/gcp/render/postgres/*, provisioner-crossplane/apis/postgres/README.md, provisioner-crossplane/gcp/README.md
Adds a Cloud SQL Composition that renders an instance, database, user, and connection Secret. It preserves or generates the password and publishes connection details and status. The render fixtures and guides describe the Composition and its settings.
Memorystore Redis composition
provisioner-crossplane/gcp/redis-composition.yaml, provisioner-crossplane/gcp/render/redis/*, provisioner-crossplane/apis/redis/README.md, provisioner-crossplane/gcp/README.md
Adds a Memorystore Composition with AUTH enabled and TLS disabled. It copies the provider's AUTH string to the client Secret and publishes the available address and port. The fixtures and guides document these outputs and behavior.
Backing catalog and compatibility
provisioner-crossplane/README.md
Lists GCP as a PostgreSQL and Redis backing, includes gcp/ in the backing examples, and adds GCP to the compatibility entry.

The Redis password fallback preserves the existing credential when provider details are absent. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks.

Explanation

The description includes Purpose, Approach, Related Issues, and Checklist sections. It clearly explains the GCP backing implementation and verification. The optional Remarks section is missing, and the tests checkbox is not marked despite reported end-to-end testing, but the description is mostly complete.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #4992 requires a GCP backing for PostgreSQL and Redis in the Crossplane provisioner. The PR adds gcp/postgres-composition.yaml for Cloud SQL PostgreSQL and gcp/redis-composition.yaml for Memorystore for Redis. It also adds provider setup, render inputs, and documentation needed to use the backing. Issue #4992 does not specify an automated-test requirement.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #4992. Provider configuration, Workload Identity setup, environment settings, render fixtures, naming logic, and README updates support installation, rendering, or operation of the GCP PostgreSQL and Redis backings. The available summary shows no unrelated feature or maintenance change.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

- Around line 141-144: Update the Redis composition’s $password handling after
the auth_string range to fall back to the observed connection-secret’s
data.password when provider details are absent, so the desired Secret retains
its existing password instead of dropping the data key.
