Technical requirements

To follow the code in this project, we require two Google Cloud projects, one to act as the development project and the other as the production project. We can use our existing project as the development project and create a second project for the production environment, or we can create two new ones. If we create a new project, please remember to create the bucket for the state file. If we use a service account (either with a keyfile or with service account impersonation), that service account must have permission to create resources in both projects. Using Cloud Shell for this chapter is easiest as all the permission are set up if you are the owner of both projects.

The code for this chapter can be found here: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Terraform-for-Google-Cloud-Essential-Guide/tree/main/chap05.
