Terraform Modules on GCP
Build, call, and compose Terraform modules on GCP, then compare your local module workflow with a Registry module.

Lab Overview
This lab teaches Terraform module fundamentals on Google Cloud using the same progression as the AWS and Azure module labs.
You will:
- Create a reusable local network module with variables, resources, and outputs
- Call that module from a root configuration and observe how Terraform tracks module resources in state
- Use module outputs to drive additional resources and expose values at the root
- Use a published Registry module to compare local modules with externally sourced modules
The focus is on the module workflow itself: define modules, call modules, consume outputs, and understand when to reuse published modules.
What You'll Learn
Create a reusable local Terraform module on GCP
Call a child module from a root configuration
Use module outputs as inputs to other resources and root outputs
Inspect how Terraform stores module resources in state
Use a Terraform Registry module and compare it with a local module
