Messing with GCP and perhaps Terraform.

Google Cloud Platform Playground

Me just messing around with GCP and various things.

Goal:

• Make sure I have some kind of personal reference for building and using GCP so that, should I leave Google, I can do similar things from scratch.

Items:

• IAM: Create some kind of service account for code to upload things to GCP.
• Cloud logging is a big one.
• Upload to GCS
• PubSub GCS & Cloud Functions
• Cloud Function: trigger on GCS file, write data to database.
• Perhaps upload to Drive
• Protobuf

Perhaps do most of the above with Terraform, too. Partially to learn TF, partially so that I can tear down everything and not get billed 😉.

Terraform

Installing

See the official docs, but the TL;DR is:

1. Install some prereqs:

   sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y gnupg software-properties-common

2. Install the Hashicorp GPG key:

   wget -O- https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com/gpg | \
   gpg --dearmor | \
   sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg

3. Add the Hashicorp repo:

   echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg] \
   https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com $(lsb_release -cs) main" | \
   sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hashicorp.list

4. Install

   sudo apt update && sudo apt install terraform

5. Install tab completion

   terraform -install-autocomplete
