Task 1: Cloud Provider Selection

Deliverable

  • File: docs/adr/006-cloud-provider-selection.md
  • Lines: ~5,600
  • Status: ✅ COMPLETE

Key Decisions

Winner: Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Rationale:

  1. Cost Efficiency (30% weight): 22% cheaper than AWS ($15,252/year savings)
  2. Kubernetes Excellence (25% weight): Best-in-class GKE (Google created Kubernetes)
  3. Developer Experience (20% weight): Fastest setup (30 min), best CLI (gcloud)
  4. Portability (15% weight): Lowest vendor lock-in risk
  5. 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:

EnvironmentAWSGCPSavings
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:

  • ✅ Standard Kubernetes APIs (no GKE-specific features)
  • ✅ Terraform modules abstract provider details
  • ✅ S3-compatible storage (GCS supports S3 API)
  • ✅ Standard PostgreSQL, Redis (no proprietary features)
  • ✅ Migration path: 2-3 weeks effort (dump/restore databases, rsync storage, update Terraform)

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):

  1. LLM API Keys: openai-api-key, anthropic-api-key (90-day manual rotation)
  2. Database Credentials: postgres-admin-password, postgres-app-password (30-day automated)
  3. Redis Credentials: redis-auth-string (30-day automated)
  4. TLS Certificates: letsencrypt-prod (cert-manager automated renewal)
  5. Service Account Keys: gcp-terraform-sa-key (90-day manual rotation)
  6. 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:

  1. ServiceAccount: external-secrets-sa (with Workload Identity annotation)
  2. SecretStore: gcpsm-secret-store (connects to GCP Secret Manager via Workload Identity)
  3. 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:

  1. External Secrets Operator installed via Helm
  2. SecretStore configured with Workload Identity (no service account keys!)
  3. ExternalSecrets define which GCP secrets to sync
  4. Operator syncs every 1 hour (configurable)
  5. Kubernetes Secrets automatically created/updated
  6. 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

  • ✅ Pre-commit hooks: gitleaks (secrets detection), terraform validate, yamllint
  • ✅ Git history scanned: 0 secrets found
  • ✅ Secret management strategy: comprehensive documentation

Portability: Cloud-Agnostic Architecture

  • ✅ Standard Kubernetes APIs (no GKE-specific CRDs)
  • ✅ Terraform modules abstract provider details
  • ✅ S3-compatible storage (GCS supports S3 API)
  • ✅ Standard PostgreSQL, Redis (no proprietary features)
  • ✅ Migration path documented: 2-3 weeks effort
    • Kubernetes manifests: 1-2 days
    • Terraform modules: 3-5 days
    • Database migration: 1 day (dump/restore)
    • Storage migration: 1-2 days (rclone sync)

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)
