Backend Bucket Full - Terraform

Setup

Welcome to Terraform in Google Cloud Shell! We need you to let us know what project you'd like to use with Terraform.

Terraform provisions real GCP resources, so anything you create in this session will be billed against this project.

Terraforming!

Let's use {{project-id}} with Terraform! Click the Cloud Shell icon below to copy the command to your shell, and then run it from the shell by pressing Enter/Return. Terraform will pick up the project name from the environment variable.

export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT={{project-id}}

After that, let's get Terraform started. Run the following to pull in the providers.

terraform init

With the providers downloaded and a project set, you're ready to use Terraform. Go ahead!

terraform apply

Terraform will show you what it plans to do, and prompt you to accept. Type "yes" to accept the plan.

yes

Post-Apply

Editing your config

Now you've provisioned your resources in GCP! If you run a "plan", you should see no changes needed.

terraform plan

So let's make a change! Try editing a number, or appending a value to the name in the editor. Then, run a 'plan' again.

terraform plan

Afterwards you can run an apply, which implicitly does a plan and shows you the intended changes at the 'yes' prompt.

terraform apply

yes

Cleanup

Run the following to remove the resources Terraform provisioned:

terraform destroy

yes
