Technical requirements

This chapter and the remainder of this book require you to have a Google Cloud account. You can use an existing Google Cloud project, but we recommend creating a new clean project for you to follow along. You should also have the Google Cloud command-line interface (CLI) installed on your local PC and be familiar with basic gcloud commands. Please see https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install for detailed instructions on how to download the CLI.

Of course, we are using Terraform. Terraform is available on all common operating systems and is easy to install. You can download the version for your operating system at https://www.terraform.io/downloads. HashiCorp is constantly improving the tool by providing updates and upgrades. For the writing of this book, we are using v1.3.3. The code should work with any version greater than v.1.3.0. However, we suggest you download this particular version if you run into any issues.

The source code for this chapter and all other chapters is available at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Terraform-for-Google-Cloud-Essential-Guide.

We recommend that you download the code, enabling you to follow along. We organized the code into analogous chapters and sections and indicated the appropriate subdirectories.
