This sub-project contains terraform code to understand the concept of Output Block and its optional arguments with the help of resource deployment on Google Public Cloud and Random ID generation.

  • Output values make information available on the command line about your infrastructure, and can expose information for other Terraform configurations to use.
  • It is typically recommended to place all the output values in a file outputs.tf. These outputs can be viewed on CLI using terraform output.

Prerequisites

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

Code Execution

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.
  • [Required] terraform apply -auto-approve # To execute the actions proposed in a terraform plan to create, update, or destroy infrastructure.
  • [Optional] terraform destroy -auto-approve # To destroy the created infrastructure. Specific resources can be destroyed using resource targetting.
