Shared VPC vs. VPC peering
Let’s compare both of these configurations to help you decide which is appropriate for a given situation. Shared VPCs are useful when projects are in the same organization but are not used when traffic needs to flow between projects in different organizations. In that case, VPC network peering can be used.
-
VPC peering
VPC Peering connects two VPC Networks: VPC Network Peering does not incur the network latency, security, and cost drawbacks that are present when using external IP addresses or VPNs.

Network pricing
This table is from the Compute Engine documentation, and it lists the price of each traffic type.

Routes
There are 3 kinds of routes: Subnet routes, Static routes, Dynamic routes.

Shared VPC
Shared VPC allows an organization to connect resources from multiple projects to a common Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network so that they can communicate with each other securely and efficiently by using internal IP addresses from that network. When you use Shared VPC, you designate a project as a host project and attach one or more other service projects to it. The VPC…

Terraform
Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool that enables you to safely and predictably provision and manage infrastructure in any cloud. You do not need to name files as main.tf, variables.tf, or outputs.tf specifically. Terraform reads all .tf files in a directory, regardless of their names, and merges the configuration to form a unified plan. A…

GitOps
GitOps is an operational framework that takes DevOps best practices used for application development such as version control, collaboration, compliance, and CI/CD, and applies them to infrastructure automation.
