Simple terraform recipes for standing up and testing GCP functionality

Basic requirements

terraform

Install from https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html Homebrew(Mac): brew install terraform

Terraform service account

This is optional but best practice, see https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/google/guides/provider_reference.html#credentials

Go to https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/serviceaccounts/create

1. Create a new service account called "terraform" (actual name does not matter but it helps to indicate what it is for).
2. Grant "Project Editor" access to this service account.
3. Select the new service account and create a json key; save it locally. This will be the path to enter for terraform-gcp-sa-file in variables.tf

variable "terraform-gcp-sa-file" {
  default = "/path/to/account.json"
}

Optional

GCloud sdk

Install from https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/downloads-versioned-archives Homebrew(Mac): brew cask install google-cloud-sdk

kubectl

Install from https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/ Homebrew(Mac): brew install kubectl

helm

Install from https://github.com/helm/helm Homebrew(Mac): brew install helm
