• Create a production VPC with three subnets using a provided Deployment Manager configuration
• Create a bastion that is connected to both VPCs
• Create a development Cloud SQL Instance and connect and prepare the WordPress environment
• Create a Kubernetes cluster in the development VPC for WordPress
• Prepare the Kubernetes cluster for the WordPress environment
• Create a WordPress deployment using the supplied configuration
• Enable monitoring of the cluster via stackdriver
• Provide access for an additional engineer
