Various Terraform blueprints examples for building out infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform
Depending on what you're building, you may get an error telling you you need a particualr API enabled for GCP (i.e. Cloud Dataproc API for dataproc_cluster or Google Cloud Storage JSON API for storage_bucket)
Tested for Terraform version < 0.12.0
terraform init
terraform plan -var 'project_id=my_project-1234' -var 'credentials_file_path=~/my_credentials.json' -var 'ssh_user=glen' -var 'public_key_file_path=~/glen_rsa.pub' -var 'private_key_file_path=~/glen_rsa'
terraform apply -var 'project_id=my_project-1234' -var 'credentials_file_path=~/my_credentials.json' -var 'ssh_user=glen' -var 'public_key_file_path=~/glen_rsa.pub' -var 'private_key_file_path=~/glen_rsa'
terraform destroy -var 'project_id=my_project-1234' -var 'credentials_file_path=~/my_credentials.json' -var 'ssh_user=glen' -var 'public_key_file_path=~/glen_rsa.pub' -var 'private_key_file_path=~/glen_rsa'
(or better yet, put all that info in a terraform.tfvars file)
Additionally, you can also add:
scheduling {
preemptible = "true"
}
to your compute instance config so that you don't accidentally accumulate a huge bill if you forget to run terraform destroy afterwards.
