Terraform code to create a virtual machine (VM) instance in GCP
In this example, the `provider` block specifies the GCP project and region to use. The `resource` block specifies the `google_compute_instance` resource to create, with various configuration settings such as the machine type, disk image, and network settings.
Once you have written this code, you can run `terrafrom init`, `terraform plan` and `terraform apply` commands to initialize the Terraform working directory, generate an execution plan, and apply the changes to create the VM instance on GCP.
below example of Terraform code to create a virtual machine (VM) instance in Google Cloud Platform (GCP):
provider "google" {
project = "your-project-id"
region = "us-central1"
}
resource "google_compute_instance" "vm_instance" {
name = "my-vm-instance"
machine_type = "n1-standard-1"
zone = "us-central1-a"
boot_disk {
initialize_params {
image = "debian-cloud/debian-9"
}
}
network_interface {
network = "default"
access_config {
}
}
}
