Getting Started with Terraform for Google Cloud

This section welcomes learners to the Google Cloud Fundamentals: Core Infrastructure course, and provides an overview of the course structure and goals.

This module covers the business need for Terraform, providing an overview of infrastructure as code (IaC), exploring how Terraform can be used as an IaC tool on Google Cloud, its features and benefits, and how it transforms code into real infrastructure.

This module introduces HashiCorp Language, discusses terms and concepts in authoring Terraform configurations, explores important Terraform commands, and introduces the Terraform Validator tool.

This module explores resources, variables, and output resources in Terraform. It covers creating infrastructure components, handling dependencies, parameterizing configurations, exporting resource attributes, and using Terraform registry and Cloud Foundation Toolkit.

This module explores Terraform modules, how to use them from a public registry, reuse configurations, parameterize configurations using input variables, and use output values to access resource attributes outside of the module.

This module introduces Terraform state, different ways to store it, benefits of remote state storage, storing state in Google Cloud Storage Bucket, and best practices for working with state files.

This final section reviews what's been presented in the course.
