This course demonstrates how to create and manage projects and resources on Google Cloud Platform with Terraform. With Terraform, many of your resources — such as projects, IAM policies, networks, and Compute Engine instances — can be managed, versioned, and easily recreated for your organization or teams. The state that Terraform generates is saved to Google Cloud Storage for persistence.
