What is Infrastructure as Code?

IaC is the management of infrastructure (networks, virtual machines, load balancers, and connection topology) in a descriptive model.

• Helps avoid the need to maintain the settings of individual deployment environments.
• Helps deliver stable environments rapidly and at scale.
• Can be versioned just like the application code.

What Is Terraform?

Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions.

• Truly platform agnostic.
• Open source.
• Massive active community.
• Frequent releases.

Why Terraform?

What is GCP?

Google Cloud Platform, offered by Google, is a suite of cloud computing services that runs on the same infrastructure that Google uses internally for its end-user products, such as Google Search and YouTube.
