Data Sources

This sub-project contains terraform code to understand the concept of data source with the help of resource deployment on Google Cloud Platform.

Data sources allow Terraform to use information defined outside of Terraform or defined by another separate Terraform configuration.
A data source is accessed via a special kind of resource known as a data resource, declared using a data block

Prerequisites

All the prerequisites mentioned in top level README file must be fulfilled for successful execution of code.

To execute the terraform code, go to command prompt and then run the following commands:

[Required] terraform init # To initialize the terraform working directory.
[Optional] terraform validate # To validate the terraform configuration.
[Optional] terraform fmt # To format the terraform configuration to a canonical format and style.
[Optional] terraform plan # To create an execution plan for terraform configuration files.
