I have two GCP projects communicating with each over over a Classic VPN, I'd like to duplicate this entire configuration to another GCP account with two projects. So in addition to the tunnels and gateways, I have one network in each project to duplicate, some firewall rules, and a custom routing rule on one project.
I've found how I can largely dump these using various
gcloud compute [networks | vpn-tunnels | target-vpn-gateways] describe
commands, but looking at the create commands they don't seem setup to be piped to, nor use this output data as a file, not to mention there are some items that won't be applicable in the new projects.
I'm not just trying to save time, I'm trying to make sure I don't miss anything and I also want a hard copy of sorts, of my current configuration.
Is there any way to do this? thank you!
As clarified in other similar cases - like here and here - it's not possible to clone or duplicate entire projects in Google Cloud Platform. As explained in these other cases, you can use Terraformer as to generate Terraform files from existing infrastructure (reverse Terraform) and then, recreate the files in your new instance as explained here.
To summarize, you can try this CLI as a possible alternative to copy part of your structure, but as emphasized in this answer here, there is no automatic way or magic tool that will copy everything, so even your VMs configuration, your app contents, your data content, won't be duplicated.
