Terraform Core Workflow on GCP
Master Terraform state inspection, resource replacement, console usage, workspaces, and debugging techniques on Google Cloud.

Lab Overview

You'll learn to:
- Inspect and query Terraform state with state commands
- Replace resources with the modern `-replace` workflow
- Use the Terraform console to evaluate expressions against live state
- Create isolated environments with Terraform workspaces
- Capture and interpret Terraform debug logs on GCP
