Unable to use the new DNS endpoint exclusively.

[TheKangaroo]

TL;DR

My goal is to use only the DNS endpoint on my GKE clusters:

This is not possible at the moment because I need to set:

  enable_private_endpoint       = true
  deploy_using_private_endpoint = true

for the DNS endpoint to be enabled. However, enable_private_endpoint will create an empty master_authorized_networks_config {} block in this line, and applying this will re-enable access via IPv4.

I created a PR to fix this, but I'm not 100% sure if it breaks anything unrelated to DNS endpoints.

Another thing I observed while experimenting with this setting is that removing master_authorized_networks_config {} won't actually change my cluster to disable IPv4 access. The code seems to work for both cases: with master_authorized_networks_config {} and IPv4 enabled, and omitted with IPv4 disabled. Maybe this is just a limitation in the API, where changing master_authorized_networks_config {} to (empty) does not trigger an update. 🤔

Thanks @TheKangaroo - Interesting, it looks like the presence of the (empty) master_authorized_networks_config block is actually being used as a substitute for enabled: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-google/blob/main/google/services/container/resource_container_cluster.go#L5035

Interesting @TheKangaroo - So currently the module's enable_private_endpoint actuates the provider's private_cluster_config.enable_private_endpoint which actuates the API's PrivateClusterConfig.enablePrivateEndpoint which is deprecated. The recommendation is to use ControlPlaneEndpointsConfig.IPEndpointsConfig.enable_public_endpoint, however ControlPlaneEndpointsConfig.IPEndpointsConfig.enabled is currently hardcoded to true in the Provider.

As masterAuthorizedNetworksConfig is part of ControlPlaneEndpointsConfig.IPEndpointsConfig, if masterAuthorizedNetworksConfig is created using the Provider, it is likely resulting in the side-effect of ControlPlaneEndpointsConfig.IPEndpointsConfig.enabled = true.

Here is a PR to add Provider support for ControlPlaneEndpointsConfig.IPEndpointsConfig.enabled: hashicorp/terraform-provider-google#20369

Ah, I think I understand now. Thanks for reviewing the current implementation and providing the explanation. Since we can already use DNS endpoints and disabling IP endpoints would just be an added benefit, I'm fine with waiting for hashicorp/terraform-provider-google#20369.
