Module Overview
1. Module Overview
Hello and welcome to the “Introduction to Terraform for Google Cloud” module. Cloud computing has played a major role in how companies build, scale, and maintain technology products. It has transformed how products and services are provisioned; the ability to provision cloud infrastructure in just a few clicks has proven to be simple and highly productive. So, why would you want to use lines of code to provision your infrastructure? What is Infrastructure as Code, and what are the benefits of using it? What is the difference between Infrastructure as Code and Terraform, and how do they relate? In this module, you’ll find the answers to these questions. Starting with the basics, this module provides an overview of infrastructure as code – or IaC – which is the basic concept for Terraform. You’ll learn about the features and benefits of using Terraform, and also explore how it can be used as an IaC tool for Google Cloud. You’ll then investigate how Terraform transforms lines of code into infrastructure. This module concludes with a short quiz and recap of topics covered. Let’s jump in! This is an introductory module that covers the business need for Terraform. We’ll start with the basics by providing an overview of infrastructure as code (IaC), which is the basic concept for Terraform. We'll cover the features and benefits of using Terraform, and also explore how Terraform can be used as an IaC tool on Google Cloud. We’ll then look at how Terraform transforms lines of code into real infrastructure on Google Cloud. This module concludes with a short quiz and recap of topics covered. Let’s jump in!2.
