Deliverable
- File:
docs/adr/006-cloud-provider-selection.md - Lines: ~5,600
- Status: ✅ COMPLETE
Key Decisions
Winner: Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
Rationale:
- Cost Efficiency (30% weight): 22% cheaper than AWS ($15,252/year savings)
- Kubernetes Excellence (25% weight): Best-in-class GKE (Google created Kubernetes)
- Developer Experience (20% weight): Fastest setup (30 min), best CLI (gcloud)
- Portability (15% weight): Lowest vendor lock-in risk
- Performance (10% weight): Excellent Kubernetes and Redis performance
Comprehensive Analysis
Comparison Matrix:
- ✅ AWS, GCP, and Azure evaluated across 10 criteria
- ✅ Cost analysis for 3 environments (dev: $178-303/month, prod: $3,683-4,643/month)
- ✅ Feature comparison (20+ categories): Kubernetes, databases, storage, monitoring, security
- ✅ Security & compliance: SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA
- ✅ Migration path: 2-3 weeks effort documented
Cost Savings:
| Environment | AWS | GCP | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Development | $303 | $192 | $111/month (36%) |
| Staging | $788 | $588 | $200/month (25%) |
| Production | $4,643 | $3,683 | $960/month (21%) |
| Total | $5,734 | $4,463 | $1,271/month (22%) |
| Annual | $68,808 | $53,556 | $15,252/year |
GCP-Specific Advantages:
- ✅ Free GKE control plane (AWS charges $0.10/hour = $73/month per cluster)
- Savings: $876/year (dev) + $876/year (staging) + $876/year (prod) = $2,628/year
- ✅ Sustained use discounts: Automatic 30% discount (no commitment required)
- ✅ Best Kubernetes: GKE most mature (Google created Kubernetes)
- ✅ Excellent CLI: gcloud intuitive, modern, well-documented
- ✅ Modern UI: Google Cloud Console fastest, most responsive
Cloud-Agnostic Architecture:

Task 5: Secrets Management
Deliverables
- Directory:
infrastructure/secrets/ - Files: 2 files + 2 docs
- Lines: ~5,000
- Status: ✅ COMPLETE
Secret Definitions
File: infrastructure/secrets/secret-definitions.yaml
Lines: ~250
Inventory (9 secret categories):
- LLM API Keys: openai-api-key, anthropic-api-key (90-day manual rotation)
- Database Credentials: postgres-admin-password, postgres-app-password (30-day automated)
- Redis Credentials: redis-auth-string (30-day automated)
- TLS Certificates: letsencrypt-prod (cert-manager automated renewal)
- Service Account Keys: gcp-terraform-sa-key (90-day manual rotation)
- Monitoring: slack-webhook-url, pagerduty-api-key (as-needed manual)
For Each Secret:
- ✅ Name and description
- ✅ Type (api-key, password, certificate, etc.)
- ✅ Rotation policy (days, manual/automated)
- ✅ Access control (which services can access)
- ✅ Storage backend (GCP Secret Manager, Kubernetes Secrets, etc.)
Naming Convention: {environment}-{service}-{secret-type}
- Example:
prod-octollm-postgres-password,dev-octollm-openai-api-key
Security Best Practices:
- ✅ NEVER commit secrets to git (.gitignore configured)
- ✅ Use pre-commit hooks (gitleaks) to prevent accidental commits
- ✅ Encrypt at rest (Google-managed keys)
- ✅ Encrypt in transit (TLS 1.2+)
- ✅ Audit all access (Cloud Audit Logs)
- ✅ Rotate regularly (automated when possible)
- ✅ Principle of least privilege (each service accesses only needed secrets)
Kubernetes Integration
File: infrastructure/secrets/kubernetes-integration/external-secrets.yaml
Lines: ~150
Components:
- ServiceAccount: external-secrets-sa (with Workload Identity annotation)
- SecretStore: gcpsm-secret-store (connects to GCP Secret Manager via Workload Identity)
- ExternalSecret Examples:
- openai-api-key (syncs from GCP Secret Manager to K8s Secret)
- postgres-credentials (username, password, host, database)
- redis-credentials (auth-string, host, port)
How It Works:
- External Secrets Operator installed via Helm
- SecretStore configured with Workload Identity (no service account keys!)
- ExternalSecrets define which GCP secrets to sync
- Operator syncs every 1 hour (configurable)
- Kubernetes Secrets automatically created/updated
- Pods mount secrets as environment variables or volumes
Example Pod Usage:
env:
- name: OPENAI_API_KEY
valueFrom:
secretKeyRef:
name: openai-api-key
key: api-key

Key Architectural Decisions
1. Cloud Provider: Google Cloud Platform (ADR-006)
Decision: GCP chosen over AWS and Azure
Rationale:
- Cost: 22% cheaper ($15,252/year savings)
- Kubernetes: Best-in-class GKE (Google created Kubernetes)
- Developer Experience: Fastest setup (30 min), best CLI (gcloud)
- Portability: Lowest vendor lock-in risk
- Free Tier: Free GKE control plane ($2,628/year savings)
Trade-offs Accepted:
- Smaller ecosystem than AWS (mitigated: sufficient for OctoLLM)
- Redis cluster mode limited (mitigated: manual sharding with 3 instances)
- Team learning curve (mitigated: excellent docs, gentle curve)
2. Infrastructure as Code: Terraform
Decision: Terraform 1.6+ with Google provider 5.0+
Rationale:
- Industry-standard IaC tool
- Rich ecosystem (modules, providers)
- State management (GCS backend with locking)
- Cloud-agnostic (easy migration)
Alternative Considered:
- Pulumi (code-first, TypeScript/Python) - rejected: team prefers declarative HCL
3. Secrets Management: GCP Secret Manager + External Secrets Operator
Decision: GCP Secret Manager as backend, External Secrets Operator for K8s integration
Rationale:
- Native GCP integration (Workload Identity)
- Cost-effective ($0.06 per 10,000 operations)
- Versioning and rollback
- Audit logging (Cloud Audit Logs)
- Kubernetes integration via External Secrets Operator (no service account keys!)
Alternatives Considered:
- HashiCorp Vault (self-hosted) - rejected: operational overhead, overkill for current scale
- SOPS (file-based) - rejected: good for GitOps, but GCP Secret Manager better for runtime secrets
4. Kubernetes: Standard APIs Only (Cloud-Agnostic)
Decision: Use standard Kubernetes APIs, avoid GKE-specific features
Rationale:
- Portability (easy migration to other clouds)
- No vendor lock-in
- Standard Ingress (not GKE-specific LoadBalancer)
- cert-manager (not GCP-managed certificates)
- External Secrets Operator (not GCP Secret Manager CSI driver)
Trade-offs:
- Slightly more complex setup (install cert-manager, External Secrets Operator)
- Benefit: Can migrate to AWS/Azure in 2-3 weeks
Challenges and Solutions
Challenge 1: Redis Cluster Mode Limitation
Issue: GCP Memorystore for Redis doesn't support cluster mode >300GB per instance
Solution: Manual sharding with 3 separate Redis instances
- Instance 1: Cache data (6GB)
- Instance 2: Session data (6GB)
- Instance 3: Task queue (6GB)
- Total: 18GB capacity, horizontal scaling
Future: If >300GB needed per use case, migrate to Redis Enterprise on GKE
Challenge 2: PostgreSQL Read Replica Cost
Issue: Read replicas cost same as primary (doubles cost for 2 replicas)
Solution:
- Dev/Staging: 0 replicas (acceptable downtime)
- Production: 2 replicas (read-heavy workloads, high availability)
- Optimization: Use Cloud SQL Proxy connection pooling to reduce connections
Challenge 3: Free Tier Limitations
Issue: GCP free tier expires after 90 days ($300 credit)
Solution:
- Development: Use preemptible VMs (60-91% discount)
- Committed Use Discounts: 1-year commitment (25% discount), 3-year (52%)
- Sustained Use Discounts: Automatic 30% discount (no commitment)
- Rightsizing: Monitor and downsize underutilized resources
Challenge 4: Secrets Rotation Automation
Issue: API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic) don't support auto-rotation
Solution:
- Manual rotation every 90 days (calendar reminder)
- Grace period: 24 hours to test new key before revoking old key
- Emergency rotation: Immediate revoke → generate → sync → restart (documented)
